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

[ctcf]

It's getting awfully close to game time. Are they gonna try to see if they can just delay it for forever and then get it in?

[ctcf]

Sori

Riot

Fuku

Lee

Hoff (RF)

Soto

Font

Scales

Wells

 

Now it has to get rained out, Miles isn't in the lineup.

[Little Slide Rooter]

My lineup prediction

 

1. Soriano LF

2. Theriot SS

3. Fuku CF

4. Lee 1B

5. Hoff RF

6. Soto C

7. Font 2B

8. Scales 3B

9. Wells

 

nailed it.

[Yeti]

wow the radar doesnt look promising

[Keener98]

So for those of us not in Chicago, hows it looking? Any chance?

[Little Slide Rooter]

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.

 

But if they start the game, and it doesnt make it past the 5th, then is he out for the next game or when they re play this one?

Looks bad, about to get much worse.

NOT promising. I bet it gets called soon.

I would have to think that it would be this one and the conclusion at a later date.

[TruffleShuffle]

just call the damn game.

good luck with that

[Careless]

Looking at the path it's taking, it looks like that entire several hundred mile long storm will pass through Chicago

 

come on, truffle, tell us a cold front is gonna knock it to our south in a few minutes

tomorrow should be nice.

[CubInOK]

Bobby Scales is really likeable. It's good to see someone like him finally break into MLB, and then take advantage by putting up decent numbers at the plate.

PPD

 

officially?

 

this is so dumb. it was obvious 2-3 hours ago, just based on the radar, that the afternoon was going to be a complete washout. instead of postponing the game early, they wait until right around when the game is supposed to start, meaning that lots of people have left work or traveled into the city for a game that was never going to be played.

 

[tinfoilhat]maybe it's a conspiracy by public transit, local parking folks and wrigleyville bar owners to make money on a day the cubs aren't going to play. [/tinfoilhat]

[badgercub]

it is odd that they would postpone it so early. usually they like to get as many people into the park as possible and let them hang out for a couple of hours so as to boost concession sales.

to be made up July 30

One less game for Aramis Ramirez to miss (hopefully)

Damn. I really should have gone in today. Oh, well.

[Andy]

Damn. I really should have gone in today. Oh, well.

Now you can start tomorrow's thread instead. :D

[The R-Train]

I thought that Len said Wells would start tomorrow, but the Cubs website is showing Marshall?

[Twiggy]

Site probably hasn't updated yet.

[Keener98]

Wells is starting tomorrow, and Lou is happy as hell because now he can skip Marshall and have him in the pen. Yea lets skip the guy whos pitched really good this year, for a kid making his 2nd career start.
