any realistic chance for a rainout

and restart tomorrow in a double header?

What would have to happen

1. Crew chief calls rain delay before 4.5 innings have been completed.
2. Rain doesn’t stop and crew chief calls the game.

suspensions, etc. only apply after 4.5 innings.

I will be so dejected if the Cubs

don’t wint the Sept 19th game against the Cards. My bro and sis in law Cards fans are going with the hubby and I to that game. I will never live it down especially if it happens in our park. Mustnot think about that right now. Have to focus on the disaster at hand.

by love the ivy on Sep 5, 2008 7:25 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

meh, don't worry about it

the Cards have been overachievers all year and are currently worthless with nothing to get excited about for the future. Even if they do win, just point to the standings. And if they bring up other stuff, well, you don’t live in the past, so why should they, right? But if they somehow get hold of Matt Holliday, egads….

sorry for the ramble….

Oh, who am I kidding, I hope they win for you.
