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.

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.

Not to mention flannel/wool uniforms.

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? :lol:

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

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.

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.

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.
