And Dave Dombrowski has to wait at least one more year for another WS winning team. He’s still on 1 (2018) and counting.

Milton certainly did a number on the roof of the trop...

Also, a very important point about this that for some reason I'd stupidly not thought of... because it had that roof, there's no drainage... so the biggest issue will be (and continue to be all the while there's no roof) water damage.

(I should also add that this is waaaaaay way down the list of importance as far as things go, of course...)

The Trop was a shelter for First Responders and residents.

They were relocated before the storm hit... at least that's what DeSantis said. Thankfully.

“As it became clear that there was going to be something of that magnitude that was going to be within the distance, they re-deployed them out of Tropicana,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Tallahassee. “There were no state assets that were in Tropicana Field, I think Duke also removed all their assets as well.”

The roof was made of “six acres of translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass and supports itself with 180 miles of cables connected by struts,” according to the Tampa Bay Rays media guide, and was “built to withstand winds of up to 115 mph.”

Now, DeSantis said, “the roof is basically like a fabric.” He said the state “understood” the stadium’s roof was not built to withstand winds of more than 110 mph, so state officials “acted accordingly” and moved the staging area out of there.

The state’s staging area was relocated to Jacksonville around midnight on Tuesday, DeSantis’ press secretary Jeremy Redfern told the Times/Herald. Hurricane Milton made landfall at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Pessimism is a tendency to see the worst or negative aspects of situations. Pessimists tend to believe the worst will happen and lack hope for the future. Much of pessimism revolves around perceptions, interpretations, and meaning ascribed to situations and events that take on a negative view.

Game 4 NLDS: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres
Oh no Freddie Freeman is injured, there goes the Dodgers.
Freddie Freeman can't move his ankle. He's moving slowly.
Francisco Tatis is going to monster eat the Dodgers.
Manny Machado will hit 8 home runs and eat up the Dodgers
Walker Buehler got his expensive watch stolen , the fans taunting him. There goes the Dodgers.
Sadly nobody in the world loves Dave Roberts, he's getting abusive attacks by baseball fans.
Mookie Betts can't do anything for the Dodgers.
All those 100 percent Padre fans creating a psychological brainwashing atmosphere for the Dodgers.

I was at LA Union Station this afternoon going back home by train and there were a lot of Dodger fans.

I was afraid to attend a Dodger Padre game because I might get bitten by them Padre fans.
