5/15 Astros (Moehler) @ Cubs (Wells) PPD - Rain

The R-Train · May 15, 2009

So I'm at this stage where I've already called off for tomorrow (with note from doctor as well), but I'm actually feeling fine now, so I can just stay up all night eating chocolate covered pretzels and watching my DVD's of The Simpsons Seasons 4-6! Could life get any better than this?

Yes. Yes, it can, because the Cubs are still not in first place, but that's okay, for I am confident this win streak is not over yet!

I guess it would have been more to the point to say the win streak won't end tomorrow, since it's OBVIOUSLY not over yet, but, eh, what are you gonna do?

May 15, 2009

We're not even halfway through May (either by days or by games played) and the Cubs have already matched their win total from April.

May Cubs >>> April Cubs

Let's hope the May version sticks around for the next 5 1/2 months (in terms of play on the field, not the specific personnel).

What is the rule on rain delays moving games into the evening on a Friday? Is the lockout still in place? re: the Wrigley neighbourhood.

What is the rule on rain delays moving games into the evening on a Friday? Is the lockout still in place? re: the Wrigley neighbourhood.

I don't think so. I think if the gates open and the game is just delayed for a few hours there's nothing the neighborhood can do about it. I could be way off, here, but I really doubt they'd have to call the game because of a neighborhood policy. Or else extra inning games on friday would be a problem, too.

I agree with the extra innings because that is unavoidable. I think that the way that the arrangement is set up, they could likely have some pull if the game was delayed until 5 or something like that.

At least you user name fits better for this series than those vs. the Brewers :grin:

What is the rule on rain delays moving games into the evening on a Friday? Is the lockout still in place? re: the Wrigley neighbourhood.

Weather doesn't look any better this evening. Worse, in fact.

So if this game is rained out, would Milton be suspended for tomorrows game, assuming its not a double header or whenever they postpone this one to?

To the best of my knowledge, he'll be suspended in the next Cubs game - whenever that is.

If they play today, it'll be this game. If they don't play until tomorrow, he'll be suspended for that one.

it'd be good if they can get this one in, because milton would be sitting out with a wet outfield, which is a good idea anyway.

but yeah, judging by the radar, this ain't happening.

I wish the Cubs were more like the Sox and just call this game already. Its going to rain a good part of the afternoon. It does clear up a bit late in the day but redevelopment is possible

Bite your tongue, no matter what the context.

both teams have monday off. not that they definitely would put it there, but the chances are good. i'm going to be at that saturday game and was hoping to see bradley. also would be nicer to have him against oswalt than moehler.

Beat the soapdropping Astros.

Yeah, this ain't happening. I can't see how. That's one heck of a rain maker headed east.

I have good seats for today's game. I really hope they play it, but I don't see how. If it gets moved to Monday, I won't be here, so I could give someone a really good deal on some really nice seats.

5/15 Astros (Moehler) @ Cubs (Wells) PPD - Rain
