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

[CubsNSkers07]

Berkman, you p***y!!!!!

 

Ok, the lightning was kinda bad there, but damn..... and that's game. No way it survives another delay.

 

 

21 over, 5 up on MIL and 5.5 on StL still.

 

so we don't get last ups? that is kind of stupid.

[E.J.]

Yeah, I'm going to bed now. I'm not waiting for this to get started again. The thunder is crazy right now. Someone needs to gif Sinatro ducking for cover and Berkman running like a girl. Very funny.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I miss good old fashioned rain delay theater...

[NonProfitCow]

berkman is such a [expletive]

I know, it's just a little lightning. :roll:

[SouthSideRyan]

Not that this game is gonna start back up again, but:

 

The only way the game gets suspended is if the Cubs tie it up.

 

Other ways a game can be suspended is if the visiting team takes the lead/ties it up in their half of an inning.

 

All other circumstances the game is over as long as 5 innings are done(4.5 with the home team winning)

Berkman hitting the freaking deck kinda qualifies.

Reed Johnson and Jim Edmonds laughing at Berkman is classic. What a wuss.

Berkman is yellow.

[rynefan]

I never liked Berkman, but man, now I've actually got a REAL reason to laugh at him!

[CubsNSkers07]

If this game does start back up I sure hope we don't go fake rally mode and lose by 1 have the game finish at like 1am and have to play at 1 tomorrow that might not be good.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Sinatro's reaction was CLASSIC. Now that was some funny crap.

[anabiono]

man, i wish i was in chicago right now, i love crazy storms!!!

[CubsBears29]

Ok, so realistically... how long will they wait?

 

If they can get it going between 11:45 and 12midnight, they'll try to finish it? And anything after, it'll get called??

He was definitely the most likely to get struck being on the grass in the middle of a steel stadium.

[rynefan]

Theriot, Lee and Harden should be fresh at least.

[Outshined_One]

The lightning is pretty insane around here at the moment.

 

I don't see them finishing this game up.

[Burtonbell]

This one could take awhile...

After that hilarious display, I can be OK with a loss now.

I figured Hawkins would be the most likely to get struck.

[rynefan]

man, i wish i was in chicago right now, i love crazy storms!!!

 

And this is a crazy one. I'm down in Joliet, and this round of storms is 30 mi. north and its lighting up down here like it's right above us. Totally nuts.

[OleMissCub]

Man, Berkman's behavior is funny and all, but it's just cowardly to do that in front of everyone like that. I know you are scared, but man up and don't be seen as a gutless coward in front of a national TV audience and your peers like that.

[manbearcub]

Did the lightning hit the top of the scoreboard? That is what it looked like on ESPN.

[Outshined_One]

Looking out my window, the sky is flashing white every two or three seconds.

 

This is crazy.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

And Reed Johnson pointing and laughing at Berkman was great comedy.

It would figure wouldn't it.
