!@#$%^& Rained out

[TheBenjamin]

Damn it all

[ryno4ever]

I know... I hurried up...mowed the lawn, did the dishes...and just ordered pizza to sit and watch the game.... ugh.

[Jason]

I am really pissed, I was really hoping they could get this game in tonight, I had my delivery pizza and 12-pack ready to go!

:mad:

The WGN weather guy said it was looking to clear up in an hour (at 7pm)...

[TheBenjamin]

comcast people said they wouldnt be able to play til about 930 at which case another shower would be coming

[Jntg4]

darn... When is the make-up? It should be a double-header!

[ryno4ever]

No make up date announced, yet...and Z has been pushed back to thursday with Demp getting the ball tomorrow.

[VanMan]

I would think the make-up could be the Friday of the series at the Cell, but trying the same thing that the Mets and Yankees did a few years ago, play game one at Wrigley, and then game two at the Cell as a split-stadium, day-night doubleheader.

[TheBenjamin]

any of those weeked games would work id think

[Jntg4]

ESPN 1000 reported earlier on Tuesday afternoon that the game would likely be played on one of two mutual off days for the Cubs and Sox in September.

[TheBenjamin]

ugh

we dont need to lose another off day

[Bockstock]

yep, last year was definitely our year.

[ryno4ever]

Can you IMAGINE the intensity a September Cubs/White Sox game would be if both of the teams are in the final stretch of a playoff run?

There is rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow as well.... we may see both a game in september, and a split venue double header if Mother Nature doesn't cooperate one or both of the next two days. However, being a day game, they have ALL DAY to wait it out... but i'm not sure if/when the city ordinances of night games in Wrigleyville go into effect...if it was supposed to be a day game but doesn't start until after a certain time.

Well, assuming it doesn't rain much on Thursday, why don't they do the doubleheader then? The Cubs are at home the next day, so they don't have to worry about travelling, and the White Sox only have to travel to Cincy for their game on Friday which happens to be a night game, so they would have plenty of time to rest up. Plus, the Cubs shouldn't have to sacrifice an off-day and possibly giving up playing a game at home to play somewhere else to make this up.

It amazes me sometimes how MLB handles stuff like this. There's a pretty easy solution, but of course they're going to find some way to make things harder.

I couldn't agree more, hell that is what I assumed they would do in the first place. Right when it got called I thought 'well doubleheader thursday.'

I agree with you ageeing with Scuba :cool: :D

We don't want to lose any more off days. We have what now , three make up games ?

[ryno4ever]

Off days in SEPTEMBER nonetheless... assuming we are still in "the hunt" in September, they are going to need all of the off days they can get. I don't see a DH on Thursday, tho... I'm sure they would have announced it by now so people who have the tickets to be used could make arrangements.
