8/19 Cardinals (Wells) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 7:05 ESPN

[killthegoat06]

Let's win another, Cubs!

Please, don't let it get rained out. Z is going to be beyond pumped and I think he'd do really well.

[pitchcs]

The rain has stopped and it's getting lighter out.

 

 

And unfortunately there's still 8 hours until the game starts.

[Faceman]

is the game gonna get in tonight?

[Derwood]

accuweather.com has a window from around 9pm-11pm with no rain, so if they can get in 5 innings in that span...

Yeah, but if it continues to rain until 9pm, is the field going to be playable?

If they know ahead of time that they wouldn't be able to get the game in, wouldn't they just postpone it? I doubt they'd start a game knowing they could only play 5-6 innings max.

[JimSorgi]

ESPN keeps saying this is a three game series. On BBTN, they said the Cubs were going for the sweep and on the internet they said it was three games. Is it that hard for ESPN to check the freaking schedule!

[Cynosure]

It's hard for ESPN to do anything right really, especially hire good announcers.

[PrimeTime]

It's not the Yanks or Red Sox, so why would they care

[Andy]

Someone mentioned earlier this season that there's a provision in the CBA that there not be anything like a 24 in 23 stretch if it can be avoided. I'm sure MLB would put the game on 8/27 in that case.

[soccer10k]

I really hope this game isn't suspended. It would be the second Cubs-Cardinals game on ESPN to be suspended this year.

 

At least this time it would be because of the weather and not some idiot.

[rickrolled]

I'd hate to see this game called, but at the same time, the forecast is calling for some heavy rain tonight, I can't see how they're going to get this in. If they do attempt to play it, I have a feeling it'll be around 9 PM until we see it start.

[Cynosure]

So do you think we'll play a double header tomorrow if it's rained out?

[Alfonso Soriano]

So do you think we'll play a double header tomorrow if it's rained out?

Yes No Doubt.

Day/Night Double Header

[Alfonso Soriano]

^^Which could kill us since we go to San Francisco to play a game the next night

[Cynosure]

Nice, just what we need... to get screwed again.

[salukifudd]

So do you think we'll play a double header tomorrow if it's rained out?

Yes No Doubt.

Day/Night Double Header

 

It's going to rain again tomorrow which makes the day even longer with two games and possible delays.

 

By the by, I'm 3 miles away from Wrigley and it hasn't stopped raining all day. I truly doubt the field is playable, go get 'em tomorrow Cubs.

Yes No Doubt.

Day/Night Double Header

 

There's no way it would be a day/night doubleheader. Not with the Cubs having to go to SF after the game.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Yeah the radio said they would make this game up on August 27th when the Cards/Cubs both have an off day.

[inari]

Yeah the radio said they would make this game up on August 27th when the Cards/Cubs both have an off day.

 

So it's canceled?

[Cynosure]

No it's not, but if it is that will be the make-up date.

 

It's stopped raining now!

[Roast]

Yeah the radio said they would make this game up on August 27th when the Cards/Cubs both have an off day.

 

Sa-Weeeet. I'll be living in chicago by then and have nothing to do that day.........

 

 

But im still hoping the game goes on tonight.

[hawkcub]

No it's not, but if it is that will be the make-up date.

 

It's stopped raining now!

 

FWIW it's now raining in Eastern Iowa which is about 5 hours away.

[RyCubsFan]

Two and a half hours to go. Been looking forward to the game all day...really hoping they can play.

[Mizzou]

Ditto. I'm going to be kinda bummed if they can't get it in.
