Yeah, but by rule, I think they have to wait at least 90 min on the first delay before they can call it off.

Every hitter on this team not named Lee is streaky, no? I don't think Hairston is that bad. He does find a way to get on base, even when he's not hitting. I didn't say anybody was bad.... just streaky.

Why does Cedeno get to go to first base ?? He didn't hit the ball !! I'm so confused [sigh].

CUBS have scored more runs off Willis in 5 innings tonight than they scored all week in Atlanta. Must be the ex CUB factor, no?
