Heatcheck: Week 12

World_cup_temperatureWeek 12 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. And it was hot. We rated Sunday and Monday's games "Hot. Hot. Hot." The rest of the week came in "Nothing a cold beverage couldn't cure."

So after 55 homes games, 68 percent of the home schedule, here are our up-to-date standings:

How you feeling? Hot. Hot. Hot. ---- 3

Hot, but nothing a cold beverage couldn't cure. ---- 8

Take me out the ball game. ---- 44

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

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

way too HOT to be sittin around for 3-4 hours!

methodology always seemed very subjective but particularly now with rain outs, location and design all in 'play'.
