Heatcheck: Week 9

I've decided, for now, to keep Heatcheck Wednesday alive (though this week's installment comes a day late).

Week 9 of Heatcheck Wednesday, a permanent feature here at Ballpark Frankness. The idea behind this post is to track the past week's Rays home games and wonder how tolerable they would have been, had they been played outdoors.

Five home games since last Wednesday. Temperature was never really a problem. But rain was. We had heavy rains most all day Saturday (though actually the rain stopped around game time) and Sunday as well.

So after 43 homes games, 53 percent of the home schedule, here are our up-to-date standings:

How you feeling? Hot. Hot. Hot. ---- 1

Hot, but nothing a cold beverage couldn't cure. ---- 5

Take me out the ball game. ---- 37

Rain delay (Rain plays a minor factor) ---- 2

Rain out (Rain plays a major factor) ---- 1
