We're in the midst of a rain delay. Bob says that the radio broadcast will check in at 2:00. And Craig said that they sent the rookies across the street to pick up coffee.

The radar's pretty green. I would think they can get it in today but not till tonight.

[stalton]

So I saw the rain delay, and my sleep deprived brain came up with this gem. "Wain, Wain, go away. Don't come back another day"

Waiting for a Nelson start, after the rain delay? Let's rock...

I figured a visit from the Brewers would be sufficient to cure whatever it is that ails Wainwright this year.

Another day, another loss to the Cardinals

Jimmy is basically the 3rd best starting pitcher that our farm system has produced in the last 25 years. Think about how sad that is.

[1992casey]

Well, we have 4[space][/space]1/2 innings in with the home team in the lead. We can't be saved by rain now. But we still can be hurt by it.

[The stache]

One would think a guy named "Gunnar" should be able to throw the ball pretty hard.

 

Sign him up.

Actually, that's Matthew. My bad.

[pacopete4]

Just so many double plays today. Hard to overcome that offensively.

That really is both astounding and depressing.
