Griffey says he's willing to do the little things

but if he really wanted to help the team win he’d save his home runs for when the M’s really need them.

It was too hot out there

But I had a blast.

It was nasty

We were sitting in direct sunlight for about 45 minutes before it finally went down before the game started, and it just stayed hot – it’s not the hot part I mind – it’s the swamp-ass humidity we’ve been having. I love AZ heat because it’s dry, but this is stupid.

It's going to keep on, too

I just watched the news, and it’s supposed to be like this into the weekend. Yoiks!

I'm telling you.

It’s why Jr had three extra base hits.

C'mon down to Portland!

85 and thunderstorms on the menu for today! Whee! Humidity is AWESOME! Especially when it falls from the sky as rain!

84 + humidity is gross no matter where you are.

84 by itself is not too hot unless you are a whiny person.

by Matthew on Jun 2, 2009 11:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

Personally, I'd argue that 84 without humdity is tolerable, while 84 without is not.

But 84 is comfortable only when there is a nice breeze to go along with it.

Also, I am at least moderately whiny.

*84 WITH humidity is not.

I’m an idiot.

I agree, I hate hot weather.

Seattle is generally very livable, but sometimes it is both hot and humid. I hate that.

by Sinking Away on Jun 2, 2009 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

San Diego gets pretty muggy.

I don’t think there’s a better city than Seattle, but when when it get muggy here, we natives complain big time.

by Sinking Away on Jun 2, 2009 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

San Diego is more mild.

We have a few weeks of annoying heat, but we don’t get any of the cold winter.

by Teej on Jun 2, 2009 11:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

I guess.

Although the sun’s ALOT more intense at that latitude, as I learned to my shoulders’ dismay a while back.

by Decatur on Jun 2, 2009 11:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

It seldom breaks 90 here.

I find pretty much any heat to be obnoxious, but compared with other cities, San Diego is very mild. I’d rather live in Seattle, but when it comes to consistency in knowing what the weather’s going to look like when you wake up, it’s tough to beat San Diego. It’s either sunny or a little more sunny.

by Teej on Jun 2, 2009 11:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Boy, that kind of forecast would be nice.

We get sunny, partly sunny, cloudly, sprinkles, showers, rain. all in one day. It’s a little hard to know what to expect.

Speaking of which:

I read this book by Cliff Mass called The Weather of the Pacific Northwest and it was fantastic. Best thing I read about Pacific Northwest weather since I found Wolf Read’s The Storm King website.

by Decatur on Jun 2, 2009 11:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cliff's book is a bit more rigorous that Steve & Scott's :)

but they both point out that it is hell to forecast around here.

Nice piece about Mass here

Nope.

I feel as though I do, though having listened to him on KUOW for years — and I use both his blog & Sistek’s when feeding my winter weather paranoia.

He was on channel 9 today

Apparently Seattle has one of the driest summers in the nation.

by Milendriel on Jun 2, 2009 11:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Portland's climate is warmer than Seattle's

in the summer it’s typically about 10 degrees warmer here than there, and we don’t have the Sound cooling us down so we get humidity as well. Not Northeastern or Southern humidity, but still.

Jak is a rookie

The backpack is full of either medical supplies or snacks for the bullpen (I think the Hello KItty one is snacks, the princess one Jak was wearing is medical stuff). They burn it at the end of the season. I would gladly take the HK one….

Damn

Decatur beat me to it with a shorter answer. haha!

I'm longer-winded. :/

Well thanks to both of you.

I was sort of hoping it was some mark of shame. But rookie hazing is always good.

So Ibanez hit two more two-run jacks tonight (19 on the season)

Has he been worth more wins than the entire Mariners team put together?

by johnbai on Jun 2, 2009 10:57 PM PDT reply actions  

His 2009 UZR fell from 6-something to 3 something in only a week!

He must’ve had a Raul-esque week in the field.

Also, I wonder if FanGraphs will create a feature that let’s you track UZR data-week by week over the course of a season – that would be sweet.

Speaking of bears...

if you ever wondered what Mark Schlereth would look like without the razor and hair gel, I give you Dan Schlereth
