8/4 Astros(Moehler) @ Cubs(Demp) - 6:05 WCIU/ESPN

[Soul]

I can't do it guys & gals. I'm gonna need to be getting off to sleep soon.

[bcl412]

I can't imagine they'll delay it again. They'll fight through it or they'll call it.

 

LET THEM PLAY! LET THEM PLAY! LET THEM PLAY!

[CubsNSkers07]

I can't imagine they'll delay it again. They'll fight through it or they'll call it.

 

There are some more severe looking storms building on the backside again so Gaudin needs to throw strikes and get out of the inning so we have a chance to tie it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Newhan, pinch hitting for Byrdak, grounded out to second, 4-3

[Irrelevant Dude]

We need to get out of this inning and score 2 runs in the bottom half so that they can't call the game but have to suspend it or whatever they would do.

Yep, if the Cubs can't score a single run through 7, they can't really complain about the game being called after that.

Gaudin!!!

Two very nice innings by Gaudin.

[haubrich91]

Go-Dan!

[Careless]

When Len said "a nasty lightning strike just hit to the north" a few minutes ago, it hit a building near me, out the window next to the television. That was weird

[Outshined_One]

This definitely has been one of the more unusual games I've seen in awhile.

 

And wow does everyone at the game look smashed.

[Soul]

I'm starting to think we might have fleeced Beane on that trade.

[CubsBears29]

If the Cubs don't at least tie this, this inning, after those 2 innings by Guadin... I'm gonna whip some azzes!

[chuckywang]

Wow, when did Michael McKean grow a white beard?

[CubsNSkers07]

Just two walks or two hits then a PH 3 run bomb from Reed :) That would be nice. Or even a 2 run bomb i'd be happy tying it right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Geary in to pitch for Houston

The beer vendors were able to keep selling through the delay. Great day for them.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto singled to left field

[CubsNSkers07]
