Phantom56 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Seems like Allentown just can't catch a break anymore weather-wise. 50% chance of thunderstorms all evening. Prediction of a Boston upset--also 50%. 1. BD 96.0 2. BAC 95.6 3. Bluecoats 94.7 4. Phantom 88.8 5. Mandarins 88.7 6. BK 85.2. 7. Colts 85.0. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDF Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I'm not a fan of the mandarin's slot at this show. But I am hopeful that they will break 89 points in spite that... fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 based on past history the more people talk about the chance, the more likely it is to happen 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was almost in agreement with those selections until I got to the end. I’ll go Colts 86.25 and BK 85.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a rain delay Friday and then, the weather was good the rest of the night. I seem to recall Saturday had a little rain but then it was a very nice night. I was there in 1984 when they had a helicopter flying by to dry out the field. That was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. 😂 Edited August 4, 2022 by Terri Schehr 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 I remember the helicopter-drying of the field in 1984. Surreal. Does Allentown have artificial turf now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 11 rained on and off a little on Saturday...and of course Friday in 18. i can't remember them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
