As a kid I used to spend summers in O'Fallon, Illinois. Not far from St. louis. Most miserable weather. By the time you showered and toweled off, you were ready to shower again. KC was just as bad.
I said earlier in the year it's the 'Brian Duensig syndrome". Everytime you look like your going to be sent down you have a decent (one more time) performance. It's amazing how long you can stick around and stink.
