Rainy weather, triple plays, and extra innings.

Incorrect grammar or not, someone certainly can't count.

Well, it didn't rain. However... I had to wear my jacket for the first time this season. In MAY. In TEXAS. WTH?

I had plate for two games Sunday with a record high of 95 in Austin area. Had the bases the third game and the temp was 52 with 10-15 mile wind. I was sunburn, shivering, and cold all at the same time. Got home and my wife asked if I was mowing the yard. So goes our lives...

My answer would have been, "Yes, Dear." Just as it is most times.... (no matter what the question).

PS - I celebrated 26 yrs with my bride just last week!

It rained in Tyler and it was cold, windy, and wet. Working bases, I wish I had taken my gloves with me.

I had a HS JV game called Tuesday of last week because of rain and the make-up was on Friday. I had a youth game already scheduled so I gave that one to my son so I could keep the JV game. I got my 2-0 game in before 6:00 and drove to my son's game. It started raining on the way over and I watched him work the last 3 innings in the rain. Well, I did let him use my dry jacket (that was only 2 sizes too big for him). To his credit he never complained.

I mentioned that the Tribune puts unique captions under their weather icon each day - these are always two words and often silly. I'm not certain where JM saw the phrase he mentioned but the Tribune is famous for messing with the weather page - Tom Skilling often makes it boring and they try to spice it up.

I'm sorry you were confused by what I wrote.
