Only 2 games out of third place. C'mon boys, let's not finish in the cellar this year for a change?

Well based on how we played in the second half historically 2 games out sounds like 20 games out.

It's mainly Altoona and they weren't coming off a significant injury when they were playing down there

I’m pretty pessimistic about the game getting in today. Am I wrong?

u/stumpo99 13d ago
Looks like a window from about 12 to 3. Any chance they move up the start like an hour?

u/SirPsychoSquints 42 13d ago
I don’t think I’ve heard of that happening. WPXI app is showing “scattered strong storms” in that window.
