3/11 ST Cubs (Guzman) vs. Royals (Bautista) - PPD (rain)

[otis89]

Cubs baseball is back on the air, baby!

[NCCubFan]

100% chance of rain today (it's raining now), with a predicted high of 52. 60% chance of morning rain tomorrow, with a predicted high of 56. This rain breaks a streak of over 140 days without rain in Phoenix.

 

Prediction: No Cactus League action today.

[Bruce Miles]

Lots of rain here. They'l decide by 10 local time whether to call this one. The Cubs' lineup:

 

Pierre, CF

Walker 2B

Jones, RF

Restovich, 1B

Murton, LF

Grissom, DH

Perez, SS

McGehee, 3B

Kopitzke, C

Guzman, P

 

If we get rained out, Maddux will start Sunday, with Guzman following him into the game.

[otis89]

Darn it. I was hoping to see Sing or Dopirak start at 1st.

[CheeseHead Cubs Fan]

What's up with ARam? infected finger doing better? When is he back in action?

 

Sorry NCCubbieFan, just had to rain while you were out there.

[Bruce Miles]

Game rained out.

[otis89]

Yesterday was the only game I was going to. Today I fly back home, so the rain isn't costing me a game.

Bruce,

 

Will they move the auction to tomorrow too?

Not sure of that one, with the Cubs on the road.

Arizona is good, even with the rain. BTW, Ramirez is back in there tomorrow at third base.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Thanks, Bruce.

 

Enjoy yourself and keep writing great articles.

 

BTW, loved the piece on African-Americans in the game.

man, i'm sure glad the days w/o rain streak is over. now that means it definitely won't rain when i'm there, right?

[CuseCubFan69]

Just call NCCF Rainman.

[stitchface]

hate to say it Abuck but the weather pattern seems to have shifted south. another system moving into the southwest next week for you (and me) - hopefully its not as strong.

[Bull]

Just call NCCF Rainman.

 

definitely.

 

I was at a rainy game in Washington with him last year. In fact, everytime I've ever seen him, it's been raining.

 

Just like that guy from "So long and thanks for all the fish".

i won't be there til the 18th...hopefully that business will be gone by then.

[Rob]

So I flew in last night for this game, and now instead of watching Guzman, I'm sitting in my hotel room instead.

 

Doh!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

No snow for you guys? We got some last night here outside LA (it didn't stick :()!

 

Hopefully it will be dry next weekend when I'm in the Valley of the Sun - I know the storms stitchface talks about will definitely keep it wet in LA.

[Rob]

There's a snow advisory in this county if you're above 2000 feet, but we're just under that.

 

On an interesting sidenote... I believe it had been 143 days since it last rained here... and the second I get here, it gets rained out.

 

God hates me.

[stitchface]

we're expecting snow tomorrow raisin - of course, it was supposed to snow yesterday too. we have the problem of no moisture but its plenty humid today. we are going to be in SD for the WBC next weekend though so that is what I was referring to. Right now, they are predicting the system to stay north of Phoenix with a chance of showers for SD on the 18th. We'll see.
