any realistic chance for a rainout

and restart tomorrow in a double header?

i still don’t fully understand the rainout/suspension/postponement/cancelation/restart rules

by joeschmitt on Sep 5, 2008 7:04 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

if it goes five, it's official

Don't we do that regardless of how we're doing?

yes

and that goes for the Cards too… unless of course they are playing the Brewers

Might be good for him...

He’ll be stronger in his next start. He obviously didn’t have anything tonight, and we have plenty of fresh meat in the bullpen. Why force it?

He's the one who was late to the park today.

Wonder if he’ll fine himself?

Why couldn’t he take the plane with everyone else?

The rain is pretty much east of Cinci and nothing west

This game will go the distance, unfortunately!

How disappointing to find this, just out of the gate.

He had the one bad start in Cincy in May, and that put him in Lou’s doghouse.

by hmlee on Sep 5, 2008 7:24 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No

I missed 3 games and they lost all of them. I thought maybe that was the problem. Appears it doesn’t matter if I am watching either with the results so far night.

nope

this team is beat right now. If you’ve been there all season, you probably are as well. Let it go for the weekend and come back fresh. Nothing wrong with that.

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.

"That guy is a gamer." said Ron Santo of Reed Johnson on 07-25-08

by love the ivy on Sep 5, 2008 7:25 PM CDT to parent up   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.

Took them 8 hours to get from Chicago to Cinci?

by Mapmaker on Sep 5, 2008 7:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Resilliancy

Has been the mark of this year’s Cubs team and shortcoming of so may previous ones. Right now I’d have to say the the jury is out.

HoffPOWER might show better power than DLee

Cedeno might play better than Theriot.

I don’t see much of a downside.

find a way to get Johnson and Fontenot in the lineup.

Lou and Sinatro.

or

I think Lou lost that game in Chicago

when Howry came in, DeRo was asked to bunt, and McGeHee pinch-hitted in a tight game.
