[Gilby]

So it was pointed out on the Score that the forecast doesn't even have rain in it until like 11...lol

Had to be a desperation move to get more time to help accommodate the facility inadequacies they faced on opening night. I'm sure they've all played in colder weather, this really is a joke of a postponement.

 

Yeah, it has that feeling. They had the off day yesterday, so you'd think they'd be more prepared, but cancelling six hours before the scheduled first pitch due to a forecast of 40 degrees and a slight chance of rain seems sketchy. I also haven't seen the 'sub-freezing wind chills' forecasted anywhere.

I think the Cubs will simply take any excuse they can to push games to later in the year right now.

 

They'll make more money and play with a better roster.

If this happens again tomorrow, however, I will probably actually die.

Foggy, raining very lightly, and 40. I like it, but no one else will

 

admittedly, I wouldn't want to hit in this.

One of the highlights of opening night was a Cards fan in line behind me talking about how our lineup was filled with nobodies: "Chris Coghlan? Never heard of that guy."

 

I turned around and said, "You know, he was ROY a few years ago." Blank stares.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh cool, I get this game. For all the moaning about how non-Chicago fans would be ruined by this, I personally suddenly get a lot more games on TV rather than having to stream them.

Yep, they did a good job making deals around the area. Every game should be on tv this year for me, whereas there were times in previous years where I didn't get the games on WCIU.

No such thing as "too hard" for this one.

Between that ostentatious scoreboard and the weather its like all the buildings just disappeared

Come on guys, you know the iconic Chicago skyline of mid-70s Uptown apartment high rises!

All too well, which is why that jumbotron is a terrible idea. We'll never see them again.

Fans in Wisconsin got boned.

They got boned by life when they started living in Wisconsin.

Quad-Cities here, with DirecTV. I get all of the ABC 7 games but, from what I can tell, none of the 45 WGN games. Not enough IMO to warrant buying MLB.TV, unless this team is going to contend.

 

I used to get every game but the handful of WCIU ones. Oh well. :?

You wouldn't be able to watch the games live on MLB.tv anyway. That's my problem. I live inside the blackout zone but the games aren't carried by any station I can get. The only games I get are the CSN games.
