ESPN says approximately 1 1/2 hours left before the heavy rain rolls in.

The radar picture doesn't look too good either. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one rescheduled.

 

I think they'll get it in. There's one more narrow band of heavier stuff in the western burbs. Most of the bad stuff is north of the park.

Why in the heck was the X-Files theme playing during Eckstein's intro?

[Andy]

I'm calling Eckstein Harriet from now on. Stupid Ozzie/Harriet naming.

Was Maybin even born when Clemens started?

No they mentioned Clemens had 40 wins by the time Maybin was born.

Nope. They said he was born in 1987 when Griffey started. Clemens started in 84 or 85.

[Outshined_One]

Three straight curves to Pujols. Nifty.

Kendall leads off the inning with a HBP.

[Outshined_One]

I just heard Girardi drop the "clog the bases" bomb. Lovely.

[swordsman]

could we have a game status please?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And if Dusty had been managing, that might have set off a "wolf tickets" comment.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Marshall just can't put down a bunt
