8/27 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Duke) - 11:35 AM CSN Chicago

[Drew Doughty]

Well that will probably happen then.

 

Accuweather.com says things will clear up around 7:00 PM CT tonight, but I don't think they'll wait that long, even if that forecast is accurate.

 

if this is there only shot to get it in why wouldn't they just wait it out?

especially since the Bucs are off tomorrow and Thursday's Cubs game back in Chicago (not exactly across the country) isn't until 7pm CST.

Be nice if people still made things like this....roles are reversed a bit from this one though: note Frank Chance in the water and Honus Wagner on the bow.

Thank you Bruce. Good to see Geo get a day off.

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least Marshall only pitched an inning last night,so if there is a long delay, he can take it from there.

Better to see Doumit get the day off.

Any weather updates?

Any weather updates?

 

According to weather.com its not raining yet.

[rawaction]

According to my window, it's not raining yet.

 

Looks like the game will start on time. No guarantees after that.

[kujay]

The weather.com radar looks bad and the storm goes pretty far back out to the west.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So if it came down to it, would they start it up, and if there was a delay would they wait until 7 to continue or would they just call it?

[UMFan83]

The good news is that this is the best possible pitcher to have on the bump should a long rain delay occur.

This is the only scenerio in which Marquis and Best possible pitcher can be used in the same sentence.

If this one is called, I would hope Lou would just skip Marquis until Monday.

I gotta say I've never been a fan of the "Reed Johnson batting 5th" thing, but given the circumstances he's probably the best one suited for it today. (Other than DeRosa of course) Edited August 27, 2008 by BigSlick

Yeah, something about Cole Hamels vs. Jason Marquis makes me feel queasy.

Yes, Marquis vs. the Phillies' lineup sounds like a scary proposition...

Theres no way hed risk thrwoing of the other pitchers rythm to get Marquis in, especially with a good team coming to town.

I also still wonder why KFuk sits against lefties when his splits aren't that much different vs. RH and LH

Im surprised to see Ronny in there today. Lou wasnt happy with him after that bunt attempt last night. I guess the W made it all go away.
