I'm issuing my first ever *SWAMP ASS WARNING* for the entire state of Florida the next 3 days thanks to extra heat and humidity. It'll feel like 105 - 114°. Stay cool y'all! 🤣🥵
It’s been a helluva journey. While I believe there is plenty more to come, the years of disappointment makes it even sweeter. How about those Carolina Hurricanes? @Canes
Every team in this division has played and won a game against the Dodgers in the World Series since the last time the Orioles won a single playoff game.
