Start time about midnight according to the radar... no mutual off days though so they'll have to wait it out They won't start a game at midnight. The Pirates are looking unlikely to make the playoffs, so the game will just be cancelled unless they're within half a game of the wild card, in which case they'll make it up on the day off before the playoffs. Less than an hour away from my midnight... :hello: It's only 2200 here. Don't get any callouses from patting yourself on the back, eh?

I rearranged my whole schedule to take in this game...... they'd better play it !!!

Hasn't the rain stopped yet ?? [/whine]

Start time about midnight according to the radar... no mutual off days though so they'll have to wait it out Football should be over by then, eh?

We face righties for each of the next 7 games, at least. Mather has expired. Why all the Mather hate? He's slugging .575. Oh wait, that's his OPS. Who or what we're facing is irrelevant. As long as Jackson, Sappelt, and even Campana are available, Joe Mather should not be taking up playing time. I show only 3 lefties the rest of the way (Pomeranz, Abad, & Skaggs) ......
