Why yes, it IS hot out
The heat wave bites. Everyone's miserable because they're hot and they know that their electric bills are going to be through the roof in the near future. But on the positive side, the heat wave brought us this picture:
Oh, bless you, AP photographer. I think the point was supposed to be "Gametime temperature was 102 and these guys are dying" (there was also a pic of the home plate ump cooling off); the end result is clearly worth whatever motivated the photographer. Nothing like that to perk up my evening. This was before Brian was (very subtly) thrown out of the game for arguing balls and strikes--so subtly that nobody even realized he was ejected until after the inning was over and Chris Gomez trotted out to play second.
Still, I'm happy I went to last night's game. Sure, the temp was 100, but at least the sun was down. Also, the O's managed to win.

If I ever did that, the crap that I used would have smeared all up and down my face. Maybe they've had breakthroughs in eye-black technology in the ten years since i've played organized baseball.
Anyhow... cheers!
