cst_cubsNo lineup yet. So what? They'll need an ark to play today. Solid slow-moving wall of rain falling since AM.

Ouch.

[Fro]

Pretty clear this game isn't going to get in tonight looking at the radar... dunno why people are even messing with the hour by hour forecast.

 

There is another line of rain building at the IN/IL state line as well

[weatherdood]

This game should get in. There'll very possibly be an early delay, but they should have no problem getting this game in.

Eh..questionable.

[jersey cubs fan]

weather.com's future radar feature shows it passing by shortly after gametime.

[Fred Hornkohl]

They must get this game in !!

It should actually be clearing out in the next 30 minutes or so. The question becomes how bad the OF is. 6-8 inches of rain in a matter of hours could potentially overwhelm even the best of drainage systems.

I assume that places Fox in RF. Has Fox played right for us this season?

This will be his 2nd start in RF this season.

I hope he celebrates by hitting a couple of bombs.

[Bote McBoteface]

I don't understand why they aren't playing Bradley now that he is hitting well, unless they're hiding a minor injury.

C'mon Fox and Cubs, thump these chumps but good! O'Malley's in the alley after the game will be out of control. Edited August 4, 2009 by coldsteel

cst_cubs says it's because Cueto is "A righty with good stuff"

He's a fragile dude that has had lots of playing time in the 2nd half, and the field is probably in bad condition.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-0 when Jake Fox starts at 1b.... 10-4 when Fox starts at 3b.... 0-1 when Fox starts in LF... and 0-1 when Fox starts in RF.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Officially, Cincinnati has only received about 1.10" of rainfall today.

I don't know how they missed it all then. It was one of the worst storms I have ever seen up here (usually that bad of rain is not accompanied with that violent of a storm as well), and it was equally as bad or worse in Louisville. I know SE Indiana also got hit especially hard so I'm shocked that Cincy would have received that little of a rainfall total.

[Fred Hornkohl]

GameDay says: 69 degrees, overcast.

Not to get all technical and all and get off topic -- but thunderstorms are very selective in where the heaviest rain is distributed. There've been many occasions in which the North side of Chicago will get next to nothing from a storm, while the South side gets pummeled, or vice versa. Many times, the heavy rain corridor is only about 2-3 miles wide, even less at times. So I guess, all things considered, Cincy got lucky.

Reds announcers say game will start on time.

[B-Diddy]

Oh no...I have to watch the Reds' broadcast with Brennaman on league pass.

 

 

 

Someone please shoot me. :shock:
