Stewart

I guess needed to hit a grand slam instead last night? Or maybe into the third deck?

Second half run?

Too bad he isn’t, you know, playing.

I think I just need to accept

that I will never understand Clint’s lineups and just move on

Second half run?

I think

he draws names out of a hat.

Stewart

I can’t wait til Stewart gets traded, or leaves on his own. It will then be fun to watch him play, without getting jacked around. You’ll regret it Clint.

rain delay.

Tornado warning for Denver County.

I want one of these unis. I don't care what you say, it looks awesome.

Stewart

hitting over .500 against lefties so whats the reason Hurdle is playing his mancrush? And Torrealba basically sucks.

Hooray! Another tornado warning....

I can look to the north toward downtown and it looks nasty.

I doubt

the Nats did what the Phillies did last season when the tarp was put over the field:

So, any word on when the game is starting?

I don’t understand Clint. Why would you want to put out your best lineup? No, really, why?

by Squeaky on Aug 6, 2008 7:15 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

So, how many

here have gone to a game that eventually was rained out?

I went to a Tulsa Drillers game when I was like 9 that was rained out.

Back on May 9,

went to the Mets game because the Mets kept claiming they’d get it in. Ninety minutes after the scheduled start time, it was moved to the next day for a split-admission double-header.

On 27 June 2007, I saw Tom Glavine inch closer to 300 wins because the rain shortened the game to six innings, which turned out to be a 1-hour, 25-minute complete game shutout for him.

I've been to a snowout at Coors Field...

The beer vendors were walking the isles saying “Coors Light, official beer of the Iditarod!!!”

Have they even said when they HOPE to get the game started?

It’s a horrible lineup, but I’d still like my evening baseball, thanks.

I’ve never been to a game that was rained out, but there was one game last year that was delayed for nearly an hour and a half.

At least

this rain delay has allowed me to catch up on some reading. That’s what happens when you read five or six books at a time.

Please don't

jinx me with the rainout talk. I’m flying about 2000 miles (each way) to see the Rox this weekend. My first trip to Denver and it would only be my luck to have the first rainout in a million years!
