Rain Delay
Tonight's game is being delayed by rain. The good news is that weather looks better for Thursday night:
The teams may catch a bit of a break on Thursday, the day of Game 5 unless Game 4 is pushed back. Another front bringing potentially heavy rain is on the way, but shouldn't arrive until after Thursday night's game, Britt said.
"Tomorrow night we'll be between storm systems," Britt said. "There's still a chance of rain, but the chance at gametime doesn't look as bad."
Stay tuned.
Update: It looks like the game will start around 9:20 to 9:30 EDT.
Update: The latest estimated starting time is 10:15 EDT.
Update: The game was postponed until Thursday night.
I would guess a little later than that, closer to 9 pm central time.
The other good news is that ESPN Radio filled time by playing the top of the 8th inning of Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. Man, talk about a comedy of errors as a reminder that anything can happen in baseball and that you have to play every game until the last out.
Speaking of Cubs curses, did you see the report on Uni Watch that Bill Buckner was wearing, of all things, a Cubs batting glove under his 1st baseman's mitt in the 1986 World Series? I'm not one to believe in curses, but man, that's really rich.
