Quiet Wednesday, Unsettled Pattern Ahead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:20 GMT

Yesterday was quite the active weather day across southern New England. With several rounds of downpours that added up to several inches of rain, flooding was a common sight across the area. For the most part it was urban and street flooding, flooding cars and parking lots, but unfortunately we saw some flooded houses and properties as well. Of course the other headline grabber was the tornado warnings yesterday. We had three warnings yesterday morning which ended up producing two tornadoes. The first was near Mattapoisett, the second in Barnstable near Marstons MillsAs that storm system exits, it is taking the clouds, rain, and humidity with it. As the dry air punches in, it will be a bit breezy this morning, but it’s a refreshing drier breeze than the tropical air we had yesterday. Dew points in Boston over the last 24 hours have really fallen off — really in the last 12 hours. From tropical, juicy air yesterday afternoon to a much more comfortable feeling this morning...

OBF: Red Sox are MLB’s Bermuda Triangle

Only the calamity that used to be the New York Yankees keeps the Red Sox from being the best last-place team in sports.The words “Yankees Suck” have never conveyed as much truth as they do in August of 2023.The Yankees being flat-out atrocious was always salve for fans in Boston, especially when the Red Sox floundered.Lately, the Yankees have become even less relevant than the Red Sox.They can’t even make losing interesting. The Mets own that department.The continued employment of Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman may be the best job insurance for Alex Cora and Chaim Bloom.While Boone doesn’t want to be fired, Cora would probably welcome it.George Steinbrenner would have dumped both Cashman and Boone at least a half-dozen times in the past five years.His son, Hal, appears almost as detached as John Henry.Almost.We miss the days of “Moneyball” John Henry.That John Henry was passionate about the Red Sox.

‘He’s a gamer’: Mike Tauchman delivers a late go-ahead homer in the Chicago Cubs’ 3-2 win over the New York Mets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:20 GMT

Jameson Taillon’s phone lights up all the time with texts about his Chicago Cubs teammate Mike Tauchman.Taillon’s close friend and former Pittsburgh Pirates teammate Nick Kingham spent last season playing with Tauchman in the Korea Baseball Organization, where the Cubs outfielder’s career got back on track far from Major League Baseball.Kingham’s texts to Taillon often follow the same theme:“I’m not surprised.”“I knew he was going to come back to MLB.”“If he got a shot, he was going to do well.”Taillon first got a glimpse of what has made Tauchman so successful this year when they played together in 2021 with the New York Yankees.“He’s intense and he’s a gamer and he loves the game,” Taillon said. “He’s super prepared. He puts in the work and he’s studying pitchers. He really works at his craft.”Tauchman’s methodical, grinder approach set up his go-ahead solo home ...

Once a journeyman, Pablo Reyes finding a home with Red Sox

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:20 GMT

A few months back Pablo Reyes couldn’t even crack the lowly Oakland Athletics’ roster.Now he’s the last man standing in the Red Sox middle infield.Reyes survived yet another roster cut on Tuesday as Yu Chang was designated for assignment to clear space for returning shortstop Trevor Story. He previously earned the nod over Kiké Hernández and Christian Arroyo, the club’s opening day starters at shortstop and second base, and now it appears Reyes will be Boston’s primary reserve infielder for the rest of the season.It’s a remarkable turn for the career journeyman, who has emerged as an unlikely difference-maker since his arrival in mid-May.“Controls the strike zone, hits the ball hard, good baserunner, good defender, he can hit lefties,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “Overall a good pickup by the front office. They recognized him in a time that we were looking for a middle infielder that can help and since he got here the at bats...

Heavy rain from unusual summer storm triggers landslides in Norway and floods Swedish harbor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:20 GMT

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Days of heavy rain triggered landslides in mountainous southern Norway, where police described a “chaotic” situation Wednesday and said more than 600 people were evacuated overnight in a region north of Oslo. Storm Hans has battered parts of Scandinavia and the Baltics for several days, causing rivers to overflow, damaging roads and injuring people with falling branches. In Sweden and Norway, sheds, small houses and mobile homes floated in rivers or were carried away by strong sea currents.”We are in a crisis situation of national dimensions,” Aud Hove, mayor of Norway’s Innlandet county. “People are isolated in several local communities, and the emergency services risk not being able to reach people who need help.”More heavy rain was expected over southern Norway and central Sweden. “The situation is still unclear and chaotic,” Norwegian police said.

ROME (AP) — Forty-one people are believed dead after a migrant boat capsized off Tunisia, Italian state RAI television reported, citing four survivors who were rescued and brought to land Wednesday.According to RAI and ANSA news agency, the four were first rescued by the Maltese-flagged bulk carrier Rimona in the Straits of Sicily.
