Okay, maybe not.

Rays are building an outdoor stadium, FWIW

In May we had a few sunny days in the 80s but it's been rainy and 60s the whole month of June besides yesterday. And it looks like there's no end insight.

Come on, dog. The Giants went on a road trip this month that included stops in DC and Florida.

Every single game in these two cities were either rained out, delayed by rain, or outright shortened.

With the unbalanced schedule, any of those games would have had to be made up at the end of the season. You want to compare that to earthquakes?

That's straight Fail-boat.

I was SOOO mad at that road trip cause of the damn rain delays

Over 13 hours

Global warming could lead to more indoor or retractable facilities in the far, far future for outdoor sports.

i suffered through the ridiculous 5 1/2 rain delay @ Yankee Stadium. then to top it off, i found out Dukes wasn't starting, and had to leave in the 5thinning only to find out my flight had been delayed 3 hrs. easily one of the most exhausting days of my life.
