I have a Q for you Willie Bee. Any way of getting ACCURATE (pre-game, obviously) info on the roof being open or closed for Arizona home games? The info at MLB.com is often wrong, in fact in my experience I would say that if MLB.com says the roof will be open, it's more often than not closed, and vice versa. Sometimes of course, what MLB.com says does wind up being true though.

Anyone else notice this? Nothing more frustrating than capping a game for a closed or open roof, and having it turn out to be the opposite.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 12:09 PM

HG, I called up the stadium and got transferred to their media relations department. And since you and I both know that the media is controlled by the liberals, there's no telling if the information I got is valid

Anyway, according to Morgan -- She sounded about 13-yrs old -- the roof will be open tonight as it was last night when it was 101° at first pitch. However, I'm not sure Morgan has looked at the weather forecast for today that shows a 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms, tapering off as we head towards game time. Winds 5-10 MPH out of West (from LF corner to RF corner).

A number to keep handy for this info or just if you want to talk to Morgan: 602.462.6500.

I can give you Braves weather updates if needed. 90 degrees with 50% humidity with no wind which means Lowe will be sweating a lot. He hates the heat.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 12:17 PM

I can break into a sweat drinking a cold beer sometimes. In the winter. It's a gland thing.

MrMonkey · 06-25-09, 12:20 PM

Willie, don't remember your avatar looking like that! At least I know his weight gain wasn't from roids! Keep up the good work! Will Sammy or Bobby call Morgan first?

Deuce · 06-25-09, 12:23 PM

According to the image, that is 515GMT which is 315EST.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 12:26 PM

Nationals Park, DC

Red Sox at Nationals, 7:05 ET
Temps in the mid-to-upper 80s at game time, 30% chance of thunderstorms, WNW wind at 5-10 MPH (from LF towards 1B).

Think that would be 12:15 p.m. Eastern.

I meant the opposite.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 12:57 PM

PNC Park, Pittsburgh

Indians at Pirates, 7:05 ET
Showing a 60% chance of rain in the Steel City area for the day and night. Low-80s for start time temp, wind out of the SW at 5-10 MPH (RF corner across to LF corner).

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 01:24 PM

Dolphins Stadium, Miami

Orioles at Marlins, 7:10 ET
Steamy 65%-75% humidity in Miami today, cloudy will keep the temps down a bit, first pitch around 80°. Looking at a 50% chance of t-storms after dark, wins SW at 5-10 MPH (1B to LF).

Deuce · 06-25-09, 01:45 PM

Starting to look like we're doomed Willie. We will see a break around 6pm it states.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 01:50 PM

I'd like to have that system NE side of Erie camp over our part of Texas for about a week.

VERY sorry to interrupt the Michael Jackson stuff, but you see what I mean Willie Bee?? MLB.com right now says roof closed for the game.

This is great info though, I will definitely call Morgan in a pinch if I need to. I will explain to her that I MUST know about the roof because I am very sensitive to heat.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 07:14 PM

What's the URL of the site you're looking at HG? THIS is where I'm looking from my home computer and it says OPEN for tonight.

"Gameday" from my computer, still says closed:

Ok, I see it also says 79°, and there's no way they'd close it in Phoenix in late-June when it was 79° unless there was a threat of rain. If it really is 79°, they thought it might rain.

Willie Bee · 06-25-09, 07:41 PM

I should call Morgan back tomorrow and ask her if it rained. We should have a mass infusion of calls from SBR asking for Morgan on Friday.

right, the 79 refers to the temperature inside the dome, the temp outside is at the very bottom, to the left, it says 92.

But as I said, this gameday link that I use is often wrong in Arizona, and ONLY in Arizona - for the others, it's rarely if ever wrong.

In fact, based on my experience, I predict it will be wrong tonight, I think the roof will wind up open. It was open last night when it was hotter, I think the roof will be open again.

I didn't see the outside temp, just that 79/closed. Sorry about that, but you might be right when you say the game ends with the roof open. I specifically asked about this however when I called. They do that in Houston a lot, start the game with the roof closed, AC on and then about the sixth or seventh, open it up.

Do we have any posters going to a D-backs night game in the near future?

The HG · 06-25-09, 08:59 PM

yeah, open roof now reported, in the first inning, just as I suspected.

COMMON MLB.COM! GET IT FUKKIN RIGHT! GUYS GOT FUKKIN DIMES ALL OVER THE PLACE RIDING ON THESE FUKKIN GAMES!
