They SHOULD be able to get this game in…if it starts. With the Cubs…the parking and beer are probably all they are worried about. Rain hasn’t been heavy enough to make the field unplayable…and any periods of heavy rain over the next several hours should be rather brief.
There's almost NO
parking anywhere near Wrigley…
Free your ass and your mind will follow.

Thanks for the update Thunder...
I was wondering if they were going to get this one in or not. And as I type, a double for Laroche!!!
Home run milledge!
now they even have a bigger reason to boo him haha
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
Good thing we get a few early on Samardzija.
I was afraid he’d completely shut us down (ala Homer Bailey).
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89
anyone else's
mlb.tv crap out?

Most certainly
Used to be one of our biggest problems

damn rain
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
This will ruin my record prediction
Damn you Cubs, you have to twist the knife one last time, don’t you?
Cocktails, re: my e-mail
It’s a fun thing to do if you’re on the sending rather than receiving end.
If we don’t get this game in, I’m assuming it doesn’t get replayed, which means we only have to win one more game to avoid a 100 loss season.
HA!
I’ll bet you are right…
I don’t think the rain is gonna last – it isn’t raining at my apartment, and I’m only 11 stops north of Wrigley.
Thunder, care to chime in here?

All this weather rolling east
means we’ll have a rotten weekend in the People’s Republic of New York.
Figure...
rain ends around 9 pm CDT or so…then probably 60 to 90 minutes before the next rain. They will get an official game (5+ innings) with a little patience. And if they aren’t going to have patience…they shouldn’t have started the game to begin with
Correction:
Massive thunder & lightning here @ my apt.
So if our Thunder is right, we should re-start in about 35-45 mins.
See you all then.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.
There’s still the new guy.
Or if we want to make a push for the second draft pick, there’s Bautista and Bootcheck.

Baltimore won...
so there’s still a chance. I would like to see what the new guy has though. Plus you forgot about Dumatrait. He should be on that list too I think.
It’s not time for Dumatrait yet. His role is to keep left-handed batters from beating us by walking them.

damn this rain sucks
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
very nice.
at least get enough in for the game. love to take 3 of 4
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
And I wonder, still I wonder,
when will stop the rain? (probably no one old enough to recognize what song lyrics I’m bastardizing)
CCR?
tune sounds right, words don’t lol
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
knew having to sit through oldies before i got my license had something of a reward
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
OLDIES!!??
grrrrrrrrr….. of course you missed some classic bands like KC and the Sunshine Band and Air Supply as well.
haha yes but I still know quite a bit of them.
I don’t mind “oldies” as much as one might think a 20 year old would.
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
Most people...
didn’t miss KC and the Sunshine Band this year…sure were enough ads before their Skyblast concert. But I’m guessing half the people on here weren’t around when they were originally “popular”.
i know one song of his.
and thats it. i believe that and jo dee mussina were the only concerts i missed. Foreigner put on a helluva show
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
uh....yes....
but we’re not wondering who will stop the rain, we’re wondering when the rain will stop…..
Looking at radar...
when…isn’t an issue. Radar says that the rain has moved into Lake Michigan. They should be able to get through at least 5 innings before it rains again.
Is it actually not raining there right now? I couldn’t tell. The announcers on the Cubs feed seemed to think they would be playing eventually, but had no idea when.
says rain shower
on lameday
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
Well...
if they don’t get started in the next 15 minutes or so…loading up the bus wouldn’t be a bad idea…unless they want the game to end at 3 am.
Here for the long haul.
I can stay up that late.

So can I...
since I start working midnight shifts tomorrow night. Not sure how the citizens of Wrigleyville will feel about it though.
We've moved on
to the Daily Show.

11:05 ET and still no game
Guess I’m going to have to stop using Bucs Dugout as my main weather source.
Just more proof
that the Cubs are one of the worst run franchises in MLB. This was and is just plain stupid.
Can't TOTALLY blame the Cubs.
It’s the last trip in…the Umpires control the show. Problem now…is the more time they waste with no water falling from the sky…the less chance of getting through 5. Frankly…if it doesn’t start in the next 15 minutes…I’d say they are done.
are they stuffing wads of cash into the umps' hands?
by BlindSquirrel on Oct 1, 2009 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions
are they doing anything to get the field ready at this point?
all i have at my disposal is lameday
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
mlb.tv
isn’t showing anything

I'm sure that the Cubs are thrilled.
They’ve been able to allow the fans to get blasted on beer for the last 4 hours. The concessionaires must be making a mint. Looking at the radar…before it went down…any heavy rain had to have stopped roughly 45 minutes ago.
Considering...
they posted before anyone else…at least they got it right that there would be no more baseball in Chicago tonight.
man tis would happen
obviously the pirates can’t take 3 of 4 from superior teams consecutively. worlds not ready for it
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
so what becomes of the game?
Lost game..inconsequential game?
Yahoo has already deleted any hint of a game.
by BlindSquirrel on Oct 1, 2009 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions
It's looking even better
for the PBC to not lose 100 games.
I wish Jeff Samardzija had stuck with football. I understand him taking the millions the Cubs offered, and the possibility he could have a much longer career in baseball than football, but I really thought he could’ve been a dynamite WR in the NFL.
Right
All we need now is one more rain out and we’re home. Pray for rain In Cinci on Sunday. I’m sure glad we are not playing San Diego.
