I was set to go to the double-header this week.  Unfortunately, we're getting heavy rain all week long, so we can pretty much guarantee it'll be cancelled.

We got dumped on today coming through Alabama, and the interstate traffic slowed to 35 mph.

Typical southern stuff...

"From running around Hammons Field as a kid to calling walk-offs in the Southern League, Max Gifford is making a major name for himself in professional baseball. The current Biloxi Shuckers play-by-play announcer Max joined Javik Blake this season — and son of legendary former Springfield Cardinals GM Matt Gifford — joins Ned Reynolds and Scott Puryear on The Starting Lineup! We dive into his Springfield roots, his time braving the elements at Syracuse University, and what it’s like broadcasting for the most stacked Double-A lineup in the Milwaukee Brewers system."
