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

[CubsNSkers07]

What's the curfew for games? I remember one Yankees game ended at 4 am last year(or this year?)

 

I don't think there is a curfew for National League games.

 

FWIW, they just said on the radio that 1am is the latest an inning can begin.

 

 

I don't think it'll take this storm til 1 am to get through Chicago. Should be through within the next 15-20 minutes I would think..... or hope.

That can't be right. The Rockies and Padres(?) game earlier this year was being played at like 2 in the morning their time wasn't it??

I think so... do they abide by city curfews?

I got caught when the second wave hit full force about a mile from home (walking) and the thought of death seemed distinct and waving at me.

I'm a big weather guy, and I think storms like this are awesome when they aren't interfering with the Cubs game.

 

I love a good storm and this was beyond good. It was a lightning show like I have never seen before. Now, get the game started and lets punk the Astros for a late win.

But that was extra innings not because of a delay I think that was the difference?

Normally I do too since typically if I get caught in them something is always open near by and I can find cover in, but after 11 at night by St. Michael's off North, everything is closed. I was tempted to pound on the doors of the Twin Anchors and demand sanctuary and ribs.

Except I live in North Dakota, where there's no such thing as "downtown."

I think it ended shortly after 1 a.m.

You should spend a spring in Oklahoma.

But then I wouldn't get the blizzards and winters with high temperatures of -10 during the day. :D

2-RBI single. Boo.

Has a player ever hit two grand slams in the same inning before?

Or just East in NWA...

"The Interruptor" on Conan. I'm good to wait this out.

[CubsNSkers07]

Man watching all these teams score runs so easily. After the delay hopefully the Cubs were watching these in the dugouts and score some runs of their own!

Fernando Tatis is the only player. Big surprise he did it for the Cardinals, huh?

[CubsNSkers07]

Is the radar lying or was the ESPN guy just an idiot because he said the only issue is the lightning is still nearby right now..... the radar shows heavy rain still....

[RedFlash]

Dear Cubs;

 

The baseball gods have given you two stoppages to let you remember that the Astros suck. Please take advantage.
