Baseball depends on Global Warming

I just checked the weather for Denver. It will be around 53 degrees on Saturday and 66 degrees Sunday. But they aren't playing the damn games during the day. No, in search of the almighty revenue dollars, the two games will be played at 8 PM Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Make that somewhere around 6 PM local time--just about sundown. Nighttime lows are forecast to be 39 degrees on Saturday and 42 degrees on Sunday.

And if the game on Monday is needed, the daytime temp will be 69 but the night low: 43.

Thank goodness Global Warming has been kind to Denver.

I hope they all have those little heat packs in the back pocket so they'll be able to grip the ball to make a throw.

On another note. Remember the Cleveland Indians--the team that beat the Yankees but lost to the Red Sox? Remember? They get to open their major league season next year on March 31--in Cleveland--on the shores of Lake Erie. Lake effect, anyone?
