68 degrees in Boston?

Lucky them

Base umps had their windbreaker jackets on; Won't be seeing that anytime soon at Comerica Park; Too damn hot!

84 and sunny here


Temps near 90 and humid this weekend at Comerica

And I bet the umpires won't wear their light blue shirts despite the hot weather either


Morons!

Congrats to Verlander on a great game!

Too bad he couldn't pitch nine


Go Justin!
