Itstrainingtime

Suddenly, it's 89.2 here...

84/73 - the sun did not last long. One thing's for sure...it's really all about the dews. 84/73 feels worse than 90/63.

I just matched that number - sun is out and the temp has spiked from 77 to 85 in the past 30 minutes...

I KNEW this year's heat wave was horrible! LOL

I received .04" from that cell.

Yep, I get it. And I'm not arguing with what you're saying. At the same time, the game has evolved in ways that created the mess we're in. Saturday night's Phillies game was a perfect example. It took just 2 hours to play 7 innings. It then took 1 hour and 36 minutes to play the final 3 innings. 4, yes 4 different reviews, plus 6-8 pitching changes and all of a sudden a tidy 2 hour 15 minute game became a marathon that lasted over 3.5 hours. Much of that time over the last 3 innings was reviews and pitching changes. Lots of time for anyone less than a totally devoted fan to check out.

Some of us are getting really good at finding ways to miss out. Frustrating.

I'm starting to worry that today will be yet another missed opportunity for rain. First area has all but completed fizzled on approach. Will we recover enough to get another shot later?

Nope, I've been to games that have lasted 19 innings and was thrilled. Those who cry about extra innings aren't true fans to me. It's part of what makes baseball special. You show up at the park knowing you might be out in 2 hours or 12. Nothing will change my mind about that. (though I understand where you're coming from)

I despise it with all my might. I hate the DH in the NL as well, but that's not as important to me as preserving the integrity of the game. The extra inning nonsense is infuriating.

One thing seems fairly certain - MU isn't getting to 90 today. Even though it's 83 now it's fully overcast here and I'm 5 miles from campus.

Phillies are abysmal defensively. I mean like really bad. I didn't realize how bad they were until Saturday night. They're brutal. Pitchers don't have a chance. That game was a shame. Wheeler pitched his a** off.

It'll be interesting to see how the Red Sox play this. Seems like a lot of fans want them to be sellers instead of buyers.

Sky is very much the same here, but it is VERY breezy. Surprised you're not experiencing that.

Verified- low here was 80.

Decent chance at staying at or above 80 overnight- 85 at 11:20pm.

So the weather station at MU has officially been at or above 90 for 7 straight days (6 here) and they haven't recorded 8 days in a row since the 1990s. We'll see what tomorrow brings. My point and click for here is 86...

9th inning rouzing in the 'Ville!

Tale of 2 different summers for sure.

Down one to 97 here. 98 will likely be my high.

Out of my 20 days at or above 90, most of them were on the lower end of the 90s until the last few. 95, 97, and now 98 today (so far) has been more impressive.

Hottest day of the summer so far - 97.3 Should get to 98-99 I guess.

Up to 96 here. Making a run toward a 100.

Jealous of your cool temps - 93 here right now.

98 here in south Philly.
