The Colorado Rockies are having a physics problem. ESPN reports that in what appears to be an attempt to reduce the laughable number of runs scored in their mile high ballpark, they have take to storing game balls in a 90 degree room with 40% humidity (compared to the regions normal 10% humidity). While runs per game are down, physics professors seem to suggest that the heat/humidity combo would add distance whereas cold or cold/humidity would decrease distance. Dumbasses...

Obviously I'm making this up as I go... Gratuitous rants to follow...
