Heat wave in STL this weekend.

[rockondlouie]

After today-92, three straight 97 days. I think we play two of those games in the afternoon.

There is a heat advisory out. Wonder if they would change game times to later in early evening.

Never

This is normal St. Louis summer weather, game times have never been changed for heat.

You are all describing one of the key reasons I stuck my thumb out at 17 and headed west.
If I swim, I prefer to do so in a pool or the ocean.
I have sailed the Pacific, spent time in the Philippines and Micronesia on some of the hottest, most humid islands in the world.
The most uncomfortable I have been was at Busch in August when it was 98*.
Revolting. (And we lost)

My two hottest days by temperature were in the Mohave desert and 60 miles west of Fort Worth, both 115.


Hottest life killing moment- on an airport tarmac at 105 in Savanna Georgia. Hottest day of my life.

I was in Vegas one summer it hit 115+ every day for two weeks.

I’ve seen 105-115* here in southern Oregon several times.
It sucks, but it is not as bad as heat and astronomical humidity combined.
It saps you.

We were deployed there to train at the National Training Center NTC. 40 ish days. Fully loaded. In our battle rattle. Doing our thing.

Still that day in Savanna broke me. Thing is, I don’t think no one noticed. Too hot.

Agree. There’s no escaping the humidity. Dry 100+ heat doesn’t feel too bad in the shade. St. Louis 95, everywhere is the devil’s (donkey) crack.

Boys of summer. Imagine the old days when there was no air conditioning in the locker room. They rode trains from city to city.

Not to mention flannel/wool uniforms.

At Busch 2 on that turf.
It's amazing they dd not have IV's in the dugout.

Well, now you went and done it.
I just went to the local United Dairy Farmers for pineapple sherbet and their one-and-only fresh peach ice cream. Whipped cream on top. Heat? What heat?

At least they had an air conditioned club house between innings.

We are sitting at a 'lovely' 107* right now in AZ!
....and that ain't nuthin' ... could be 117* or so next month or two!

Luckily, I don't do road work or work on roofs....

Go Cards!

97 today. Gonna see some effects.

[sikeston bulldog2]

I think today will be the last hottest day- still mid nineties rest of week. I think one cub day game, if memory serves.

Homeruns were not at issue in the heat of the weekend, so maybe the ball didn’t get any help from the weather.

Cubs- 68 homeruns on the road. Will heat help them.

[sikeston bulldog2]

97 today. 94 game time. 90 around 8:30 ish. Ball traveled well last night. Heat?

Around 96-97 next two games, including thursdays day game.

[sikeston bulldog2]

Ok last day of heat for the team. 95 first pitch, 97 mid game.

Cleveland- rain and thunderstorms Friday and Saturday. Temps around 80, that’s right 80. May see a rainout.

Pittsburg - cloudy and cool with drizzle. High around 80.

Much better.

[scoutyjones2]

Good morning.

You boys got your wish. No rain in St Louis. But how about 96 degrees.

Yep. 92 Friday, 96 Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday and 93 Wednesday.

This will be the teams first bout with high heat. Reds and Cubs.

Chill.

I think it's called summer...I could be wrong.
