4/26 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Reds (DeSclafani), 12:10 CDT, WGN

Groundscrew workers are ready to pull the tarp off the infield.

 

i guess things are different in ohio, the last time i hired people for groundscrew i got in a lot of trouble

 

Was it at a swim club?

 

I met up with a friend in Dayton earlier this week and he suggested an establishment for us to visit. I had a couple hours beforehand, and googled the place. This is the first picture from their yelp page - I opted to just go to a bar instead.

Umm one of those women in the changing looks kinda underage, so it sounds like the perfect place for BeertownCubbie.

If one of our players gets Eli Marreroed because the Reds have a sellout I'll be pissed

Matt Snyder @MattSnyderCBS

Carrie Muskat @CarrieMuskat

Field was lined, but now they're covering it with tarp. Umps and #Reds officials went to check on radar. #Cubs

 

booooooooo

[Schwarber Fan]

Radar seems to be alright.

[DiamondMind]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[DiamondMind]

Umps went from #Reds dugout to check radar to talk to #Cubs Maddon. Organ is playing "You gotta have heart"

[DiamondMind]

They're gonna call it.

We might finally have some resolution. Grounds crew putting in stakes to hold tarp. Umps conferring w/ teams. ...

Felt like we were close to playing. Now not sure. Will long be remembered as The Great Cincinnati Rain Saga. Field took on a lot of water

[ctcf]

Must be the state the field is in because the radar looks pretty solid.

This is going to rob us of a game against Marquis : ( Edited April 25, 2015 by Brian

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, the radar is brutal unless they wait around til around 4:00 local time. But the field will probably have taken a lot of water by then.

 

But I'm just crazy!

[halplm]

So is it still raining or has the rain stopped? IF the rain has stopped and they say they can't get the field ready... that's some weak grounds crewing...
