System Sundays: Draft Signings So Far
Photo by Scott Kane/Getty ImagesGood morning, all. Hope you’re still high and dry after our most recent round of storms. There’s a soccer field right next to I-55, just off Meramec Bottom, that I use as essentially a rain gauge. Every day on my way to work I drive by that field, and I look to see how much of the nets I can see. If those are completely underwater, I use the little pavilion in the back. And if that’s all the way underwater, then a) I know we’re in a bit of trouble, and b) I use the big chainlink backstops. How much of those I can see tells me how worried I should be about the flood, basically.
