Hey y’all!
Back from vacation, missed a lot of Sox games (saw one while in Boise). I wish I couid’ve seen the 19-17 game! Yesterday’s game was a wreck. Let’s hope our bats wake up and we win this one.
I’m here. Was supposed to work, however due to the storm, I stayed home to prepare. Now bored, waiting. Feel like I should be doing something, but can’t go anywhere.
I’m here. Just getting ducks in a row after work. Have to make a phone call and scrounge up dinner, then will be multitasking as I follow the game. So many things, so little time…will check back in a bit.
Wellcome back Jules!
And be careful in that nasty weather, Karen. Looks like it might creep into my neck of the woods when it’s finished with your area.
Come on Sox!!! The playoffs are coming and we have to start playing like we wanna BE THERE!!! Dammit.
Oh the mlb.tv local announcers, oh yeah. It’s like Christmas for the weather channel, they love this stuff. Yeah we have a ts warning, and now a tornado warning, gets better by the minute. I have all the shutters up, I am good.
Papi!
Thanks, Bethie. We were in Yellowstone and it was spectacular! Truly breathtaking. We saw black bears, grizzly bears, a bull mouse(!), coyote, fox, osprey chicks, bald eagle, and a bazillion bison. I’ll post photos later.
The downside of the trip was getting pulled over in the wastelands of Nevada. I was doing 78 in a 75 zone. The jerk said I was doing 102! Now I have to take a day or two off work, and drive six hours one way to fight it.
Bummer. I was hoping for some runs!
As long as you don’t catch Jim Cantore roaming around. Anywhere he goes the uber bad stuff follows. he he
I always tell my parents if we have bad weather coming and he’s anywhere in town, I’m getting the hell out of dodge.
Karen, where are you?
I had to look Jim Cantore up. You’ll love this from Wikipedia: Cantore has reported from so many hurricanes that residents along the coast have given him the nickname “The Angel of Death”.
That sucks Jules. I wish they could find a way to have a lawyer or someone go in on your behalf so that you wouldn’t have to drive 6 freaking hours to contest it.
And how the heck did he get 3 digits on his radar gun out of a 78 in a 75??
I am on the east coast, Vero Beach. I am supposed to get the bottom part of it. It will be a hurricane cat. 1 when it hits, not too bad, I was in town for a cat. 4. Yeah Cantore is on the other coast, although some of his coworkers are down the street.
Jules, where in Nv were you? Also I noticed you said you were in Boise. I have a friend moving there, wonder what’s it like.
That’s just about the truth Jules! Accurate nickname. He brings the destruction with him, and they always send him out to stand in the middle of record breaking blizzards. Poor guy.
I love quick, 8 pitch half innings!! Woo hoo!!
That’s the rub. He said he clocked me at 102. He also said that I passed him (never saw him and I know what their HP cars look like). He said I was flying down the road. The funny thing is that I had just gone through a long construction zone and had my cruise control at 55.
Also, I was driving my *husband’s* Rav-4. Rav-4, not a Porche!
I’m calling a lawyer to see what my options are.
Gotta run for a bit. Kidlet needs school supplies. By tomorrow!
Cracking up about Jim Cantore — before I read ahead I was thinking to myself that he must be in his glory right about now.
Bethie…we NEED the rain — I’m looking forward to it! I think we’re due on Saturday.
And jules, that really sucks about the speeding thing. Ugh.
BAY!!!
Yay Bay!
JAY BAY!!!
Good evening everyone….just turned on the TV….BAY!
JAY BAY!!!
Jason!!!!!!
Karen,
real quick before I run out…Boise is very nice. The downtown is great. They have the Cubbies A team and Boise State sports is *huge*. It’s an arid climate and the housing is cheaper than CA. Your friend should like it a lot.
Ha, I was so excited about that I posted twice.
And Jed sure knocked the snot out of that one. Shoulda been a homer.
Yeah, faith. We do need the rain. But they are saying it might get here on Thursday and I have an outdoor concert to go to. I’m hoping the will reschedule it. I hope I hope.
TEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEK…this is definetly a better start then yesterday
It’s the attack of the Jasons!!!
TEK!!!!
Attack of the Jasons… I like that!
Just got in and saw on GameDay that Bay and Tek homered. Yay!
ecl- hahaha. “Attack of the Jasons.” That’s brilliant.
Bethie, who said it will get here on Thursday? I haven’t been following the Weather Channel predictions, but the National Weather Service and Weather Underground both have it tracking farther west than was earlier thought…more towards Georgia/Alabama. As of Thursday it’s supposed to be just crossing from Florida into southern Georgia.
Thank you Mac. :::brushes self off in triumph:::
Oops — and thank you too, Mary!
I heard that on the weather this weekend. It might have changed by now which is good news. I like your forecast better. :)
Way to go Tek. Sorry the comment was late, was giving my mom a weather update. She is out of state, and it’s her condo.
Bethie, here ya go:

I just hope we get some rain someday. It’s getting scary. The water pressure at my mom’s in Hend’vl was noticeably low yesterday.
Thanks Faith. That looks a little better than what they had been saying. Looks like we won’t get much of it here.
“Kevin Millar with those quick feet helping him out.”
When did Millar get quick feet?
I just noticed, Pedey shaved. Yeah, I didn’t like the beard.
Did anyone catch the Kevin Millar “music video” during the pregame…I was speechless
The “Oriole Magic” one, Kristin?
No I didn’t catch the video. They usually don’t show that stuff on mlb.tv
Hi guys.
Random bit of info: Brian Roberts is my desktop background. Heh.
Yes, that one Cathy…maybe one our technologically talented friends can post it
Kristin, I didn’t see it either. I wish they would show that kind of stuff on mlb.tv.
Oh, it was “Orioles Magic?” I love that video. It was up on YouTube and dailymotion three or four months ago, but MLB made them take it down.
I saw that video, it’s so bad it’s good. heeheeehee
MLB spoils all the video fun.
damn.
Oh man.
Dammit
Crap. Don’t let that happen again, Lester.
I can’t believe the Angels are getting beat by the Rays. They cruise through the AL and beat up on everyone else, and they Rays are beating them.
Weird I tell you.
