Bah. They better get this in. It would be just my luck that it'd be rained out on a day where I can actually watch it.

[Jon]

Haha, look one post up.

It looks like there will be small pockets near you that could get some pretty severe storms a little later.

 

Still, looking at it's path, we may get lucky. Either way, it's going to be close.

It should start raining in the next 30 minutes or so and probably won't be out of here until around the scheduled start time or a little later. The back end will probably produce thunderstorms, as well.

 

So while it'll be wet, the real threat to whether or not they play today is what's currently in central Missouri. Let's hope it stays south.

 

Right now it's barely raining here, but humid as all hell.

Just wait a few minutes.

I'm across the street from the Hancock and its slightly more than a drizzle.

 

I was out this morning with a long sleeve t-shirt and a windbreaker and I was a bit hot.

Win cobs.

[Jon]

I'm a couple of miles north of Wrigley and it's relatively dry right now, but it should start raining any minute now.

 

I'm glad they were able to get in the Ernie statue dedication.

will there be a chat?

 

Feh, lets all use the game thread so it's recorded for prosperity! It's pretty much like a chat room in here anyways.

 

Isn't that supposed to be posterity...... or posterior..... or something ?? :wink:

 

Watch it, Grandpa, or I'll break your hip.

[moorecg]

Any recent word on likely start time?

Mother Nature, Please don't rain in Chicago from 1:20 to 4:30.

[VanceJergins]

I have so very little in my life to make me happy...If the game gets rained out, the weather will match my emo soul.

I dont know...The cell is moving northeast. Theres still a lot of rain to come...

[CubmanPi]

At least Z is rested after Lou pulled him in Game 1.

I lol'd.

[Jon]

I'm more optimistic now than before. The northern half of the second wave has been breaking up a bit over the last hour and it still looks like there's a good chance it'll miss us to the south.

 

First pitch may not even be delayed that much, either.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Some Cubs stuff during the WGN news now. Dempster looks thinner.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Skilling makes me very optimistic...

[CubInOK]

WGN just said the rain at Wrigley will end soon and there will be a window to get the game in!!

The jokes really just write themselves, don't they?

[Guest]

I better not have gotten up early for nothing so they better get this game in.
