Relief pitching did the standard "give up runs" thing yet again. At least they're consistent...

There was natural grass and I always thought turf and AstroTurf we're the same. Was Astroturf made from the Jetsons dog originally? Then George trademarked it? 100F

I'm old enough for Ch17 during the 1970s then Prism 1980s. They would show the vet turf showing the heat coming off of it and place a big ass thermometer out there which reached 110-120F on the outfield turf. Just hit 100 F here...

Phils daytime game today should be fun....

90F/DP 78 at 9:25am

77F/DP 75F at 6:05am *Philly at 79F...won't go below 80F tonight.

Still 90F/DP 77F at 8:20pm...

AccuWeather really going to bust on overnight lows...

Chris Sowers (Winter weenie) is back in Philly after a short move to Fla. And on FB.... https://www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/local/2026/05/14/philly-weather-guy-chris-sowers-is-returning-will-he-be-back-florida-6abc-west-palm-beach/90074898007/ Upcoming heat wave:

Boy, this worked out well (cha-ching) for PECO workers w/the impending heat wave and possible power outages. Bargaining chips... 80F/DP 69F https://6abc.com/post/peco-workers-go-strike-july-4-ibew-local-614-officials-say/19380766/

Was thinking the same and almost guarantee Philly will stay above 80F for overnight lows for at least 1 and probably more nights...

68F/DP 67F at 10:10pm AccuWeather cranking highs to start off July...drought friendly.
