03/11/06 - Angels at Brewers (Capuano) CANCELLED

[Jim Goulart]

The pride of West Springfield, Massachusetts, LHP Chris Capuano, faces new Angels starter Jeff Weaver in a game that will be available with Bob and Jim on WTMJ with Wisconsin's NCAA basketball loss Friday night.

 

At noon Central, Jim Powell will host a Talkin' Brewers according to the WTMJ site, for which we'll post a separate thread.

We have rain out here for the first time in 4 or 5 months by the way, and it's around 9 Wisconsin time.

 

We have a good chance of T-Storms all day and it is a bit gusty out there.

Brewers have been doing pretty good in the spring training games. Lets keep it up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Go Brewers!!

Frankly, a spring rainout is worth it if it means that Arizona doesn't turn into a dust bowl this summer.

Games cancelled for today.

And they're saying rain is likely tomorrow, which is a bummer. It's supposed to be the first televised game of the year.

I was really looking forward to Long Wong's tomorrow to watch the game and the ncaa selection show. BOOOOOOOO if it really does rain tomorrow

I'm heading to spring training on sunday. Does anyone know what the weather is supposed to be like for the rest of the week?

[Arealbaseballfan]

I just looked at the forecast. It's suppose to be back up in the 70's and really nice all of next week.

[pitchleague]

I know some of you are disappointed but we Arizonans REALLY need the rain.

 

I'm especially looking forward to the weather, since it is supposed to snow! Yay!

[IslandsAC]

I'm headed out to AZ on sunday too, but I can bet the rain was needed. I've heard 50s tomorrow, 60s for most of the week and then 80s on thursday, friday.

 

i'll take that.

It will actually be MUCH NICER because of the rain. The desert will be very happy. The Maryvale groundskeepers will be happy. Everyone should be happy about this.

Just don't let it rain tomorrow, I want to watch the game.

Arizona needed the rain big time. Phoenix hadn't seen rain in 143 days...it is getting quite dusty around here, especially with the wind that has been howling makes working outside quite unpleasant.
