Oh for crying out loud, lol Subscriber bait!

I mean a historically strong niño just sounds like a torch to oblivion year without a winter to me, smh

It is a bit yes. I mean it could happen, but heavy snows in the deep south?? Even northern Florida? that's just ridiculous. Even more so in a strong El-Nino winter. Sure it will be cooler than normal and generally wet there, but not white.

Well, I think this L from the Orioles will be the proverbial nail in the coffin for the season. I don't see how they come back from this one. They might get swept in back-to-back series and fall 9 games under .500 after this one with the Dodgers. They needed to win tonight and had a chance and blew it.

Awful loss.  But they've had a bunch of those already.  Just no sign of them turning it around.  I thought that 10 wins out of 14 games (or whatever that stretch was a couple weeks ago) was it...but nope.

I was just STARTING to think that was it as well, but was not gonna buy into it until they got over .500. So often you see struggling teams can get on a random hot streak and pull within a couple games of that mark. But then just as they do they hit the wall, stupid stuff happens, and they fall backwards. The Blue Jays series was that moment: we win that we are just two games under with a chance to get to or over .500. But instead? We lost 4 in a row. It was that moment where I kinda closed the door on any chance of turning it around this year. They are somewhat better than last year, but still mediocre. And I do not think that's gonna change until they get rid of Elias. It's he and Sig that has made this system...and it has failed these players. I hope Rubenstein & Co. do the right thing!

Elias was the guy to do a rebuild. But he didn't know how to build a contender. His affection for over the hill pitchers really has hurt this team.

Uh-oh. Trust me on this folks, LOTS of repressed inventions are being released all at once! Man I am so fracking excited I can't believe it! I am studying AI and Robotics as fast and as hard as I can! If I ever get my hands on PAID courses, LOOK OUT! Look out for something called Optimus 3. When that puppy hits iteration 5, REALLY LOOK OUT! Robots are not gonna take Man out of the picture. Robots are going to free all of us to do whatever we want, and in those days I will be visiting Dale City again, in an antigrav vehicle that will be able to whisk me from Buda to the DMV in about 26 minutes! And, I will be chronologically in my 60s but for all practical purposes probably about 34. I'll be walking around FAST and digging snow in the winter again and dancing exactly like Michael Jackson on the ice on the Potomac Mills parking lot again because I will have General AI helping me. And 'JD' will be back at Charles Town again keeping records like back in 2010-2011! I still have those records!

These are extremely exciting times we are living in! I want to scream this from the housetops, until I am HOARSE!

Yes they are. 2 steps forward, 5 steps back. They just aren't very good. That being said, other than about 3 teams, the AL completely sucks.

This team despite all their failures is still very much in it because of your last statement. I won't give up on the season as we have the talent to make a run, but my God, the bullpen is terrible and our defense is atrocious. Gunnar Henderson also continues to piss me off. I can't wait for him to suck here and then go to the Yankees on a 6 year 250 million deal and rake like every other hitter we have.
