7/5/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Pirates (Gorzelanny): 11:35 AM CDT

[hawing]

Wow that stinks.. guess I'll leave work around 1 then.

 

Don't you leave, Sgt, until you've done your mench talk.

[Lil Dummy]

As much as I love getting my daily Brewer fix, I'd be happy with a rainout today, as long as it didn't spoil Sheets and Gorzelanny for Friday starts.

[whizkid]

Does anyone know if the pitchers started their warmups before the delay?

[sgtcluels]

Mench??? BOOOO! Prepared to be Menched. I predict, 3 GIDPs and 1 Looking strike out to end the game by Mench.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Bob said that neither starter had begun warm-ups.

[Menotti80]

Next Update on AM 620 is at 12:35. unfortunately, I wont able to hear it, but I'm hoping they say it will start around 1.

If anyone hears an official word, please let us know.

From the National Weather Service radar, it appears that there should be another half hour or so of heavier rain (orange), then diminishing over the next half hour.

I guess it's still raining pretty good over there.

 

I highly doubt this game starts at 1pm.

I hope the stretching/loosening doesn't cause any problems, if they eventually get going.

Go for the radar. Stay for the dancing alien in the sidebar ad.

Just pack up and head to Washington. Get out of this house of horror.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Agreed mikevan. I'm flying to DC for work in the morning and actually have a ticket to the game at RFK on Friday. I'd much prefer to see a Sheets start over a Bush one...so I'm a tad bias for personal baseball watching enjoyment reasons.

 

If FSN Wisconsin shows a guy sitting along the 1st base baseline wearing a Miller Beer Pen Blue Ringer T-see with the 1980's Brewers road hat on...that me!

[BCZF]

Will you bring a "circle me Bill" sign? :b

[jhart05]

For those who can't get AM620...

 

Still raining.

 

But Bob said they are going to do everything they can to get this game in today.

 

No time yet when the game will start. They're going to get another update from Pittsburgh at 1:30.

[crewcrazy]

Anyone know what time the Brewers were scheduled to leave Pittsburgh for DC? I'd hate to see the Brewers end up getting to Washington late at night and end up coming out flat in the series opener.

[BCZF]

Why so important to squeeze this game in now? Don't we go back in August or something?

[patrickgpe]

we go back in september and there is an off day between the pittsburgh trip and the next city, so we could loose an off day and avoid a dh.

Thanks JHart, could you keep the updates coming for us out of reach of radio folks. Much appreciated!

As was pointed out the other day, the players have a right to veto that game if they so choose because it would interfere with their right to a day off every 20 days. Don't know that they would choose to veto it, but they have the right to opt for a doubleheader instead

[fondybrewfan]

Well it atleast looks like the rain will be done within the next 20 minutes or so. But then again I am now George Graphos

Good question. I think the Pittsburgh to DC flight is just a little over 1 hour total in the air time. So thankfully the Brewers arent like in Houston or on the West Coast. Unless the game doesnt start until around like 7 o'clock tonight...they should be fine tomorrow...especially considering its a night game in DC.

[uwbufu24]

The only threat to getting this game in is now some little cells of rain in central Ohio. I expect this game to be underway within half an hour.

[hawing]

But then again I am no George Graphos

 

Ahh, you've taken me straight back to my Green Bay days in the early 1990s!
