Cubs on WGN, so 6 straight hours of baseball to watch! Hopefully the Braves can show some life, and thank god this is in atlanta, otherwise this would be an almost guaranteed sweep for the Cubs.

Cubs and Braves rained out tonight. Doubleheader starting at noon tomorrow.

[crewcrazy]

Cubs/Braves has been rained out -- they'll play a day/night double header tomorrow. Tonight's scheduled pitchers will pitch the first game.

 

Edit: wibadgers beat me to it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif It must've been really bad in Atlanta if they didn't even bother trying to wait it out.

[2008 world champs]

Good news for the Brewers on the Cubs rainout. Let's get a couple of 12 inning ball games in tomrrow in the very least Braves.

[sargennm]

Two HRs, 6 RBI for David Ortiz ... in the first inning! Holy cow. Wow.

[diesmitty]

According to WGN it will be Marquis/Morton in the first game and Harden/Campillo in the second game, so the pitching matchups will change. Good luck tonight guys, hell of a run you are on.

[RightFieldCoder]

The Cubs are delayed from rain

Reds/Pirates with nothing to gain

Cards try to fish

Beat Marlins to dish

Ortiz gives Texas some pain

[sargennm]

Hanley Ramariz just went deep on Loshe 4-3 Marlins! Wow, once the Cards went up 3-0 in the first I thought the game was over. Kyle Loshe really regressing to the mean the past couple of starts. Maybe someone remeinded him he was Kyle loshe.

[wibadgers23]

Not that they're too close to us or anything, but I wish Houston would just winning so much.

8 run 4th for the Rangers.

 

Rangers 10

Red Sox 12, Mid 4

[ELCABALLO45]

Papi just misses number 3 on the night.

 

Youk homers.

 

Rangers 10

Red Sox 14, Bot 4

[logan82]

Is the Marlins/Cards game through 5 or in the middle of the bottom of the 5th inning?

[ELCABALLO45]

It was the 5th when all that happened.

 

Now its 14-11.

[marquettefan13]

Is the Marlins/Cards game through 5 or in the middle of the bottom of the 5th inning?

According to Gameday, there was one out in the bottom of the 5th and a 1-2 count on Hanley Ramirez when the rain delay began.

[marquettefan13]

Since I accidentally double posted, I'll edit this one to say wow - that's quite the game in Boston tonight with one team having a 10 run inning and the other an 8 run inning. The fans who like offense are certainly getting their money's worth http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

[wibadgers23]

Following the Boston/Texas game on gameday makes me wish I had the extra innings package.

[datrain711]

wow texas takes the lead. just watching this on gameday is exciting

[ELCABALLO45]

Rangers take the lead.

 

15-14. Going to the bot of the 6th.

[marquettefan13]

Following the Boston/Texas game on gameday makes me wish I had the extra innings package.

 

I agree. That looks like an incredible game tied at 14 in the top of the 6th and still only one out. Ok wait - while I typed this message, Texas scored another run and now leads 15-14.

It actually hasn't been bad here in Atlanta. It's been raining relatively lightly, but steadily, since late afternoon, but it's supposed to keep going through the night with possible thunderstorms. They probably canceled because it would simply suck to make fans sit through bad weather the entire game.

There was a nice tribute to Skip Carey on TBS, though.

Fish hold off the Cards, 4-3. Hopefully we can hold on and extend the wild card lead by a game.
