Go CUBS !!!

 

 

 

CubmanPi seems to be indisposed. Win, lose or rain he's back up to bat for Sunday's game

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm no weatherologist, but looking at the radar and out my window, this game is not happening at noon.

[kujay]

Yeah no.

 

Tomorrow is likely to be difficult too.

[bcl412]

So a one game series sweep of the Cards is possible? I'll take it.

 

EDIT: Both teams are off Monday so I would think they could one game to then.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sitting here in Effingham...... been raining most of the morning, but at the moment the rain has stopped and the sun is trying to peek through. No guarantee on what might happen over in St. Louis.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Home of the Flaming Hearts and my wife's first job out of college. And a freaky, giant cross.

And perpetual road construction.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Amateur weatherologizing again, but I think they'll be able to start this game by 2 or 3 p.m. Storm is moving pretty fast.

I should probably know this by now, but if the Cubs game starts at two wil Fox show the whole thing still?

[ctcf]

Freese is a late scratch.

I don't see why they wouldn't.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

DUI again?

[mul21]

Sounds like first pitch will be in about an hour.

That cross isn't so freaky.

One might say ??

 

One better not say it again, eh? :twisted:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

No more than an hour till the rain stops. I'm guessing 2:45 start time.

[SABR Gamer]

Boo, my girl friend is at work til 3:30, I was hoping to get to watch the entire game without distractions. Start the damn thing already.

[imb]

so they are going to get this game in?

[mul21]

Man, I live about 20 miles NE of downtown STL and it's just pouring right now at my house.

 

Looks like this is the last of it though. Should be able to get started by 2:00 I would think.
