I've always wanted to try one, and hopefully a revitalized roster with some new faces can potentially help us get a W

This game is rained out due to Hurricane.

Feel free to make dinner plans with the wife and pretend you would rather be with her than watching the game and posting on the game thread.

Teams without an indoor field always have us at a disadvantage when the game is rained out. We don't get rained out, so our opponents don't have to travel or play a double header to make it up.

Looks like a double header tmw.

Maybe they can use this opportunity to skip a start from either Enrique or Claudio

how you figure?

Originally,

Friday- Miggy
Saturday -Livan
Sunday- Webb
Monday- EnGon
Tuesday- Vargas

Now it's
Sat- Miggy-Livan
Sun- Webb
Monday- Engon
Tuesday- Vargas
Wednesay- ???? Miggy on short rest? I doubt it.

They will either give a start to Cruz, or call up Edgar or Nippert for Wednesdays start.

Officially Post Poned

Well...maybe they will have to make up a game or two here in AZ

perhaps they will have a 5 game series against the NATS back here....LOL

So this officially guarantees that Gonzo will play both games (why do I even have to state that one), Counsell and Clark will start one game, and that Young and Quentin will play in separate games.

What does Melvin do? Does he essentially forfeit one game by running out the kids in the first game and the douche crew in the second game or will he make the lineup in the first game worse so that the douch crew can be a little better?

How long do you guys think it'll take until we see Drew, Callaspo, Jackson, Young, Quentin, Snyder/Montero all on the field at the same time? I have feeling that's not going to happen until next year.

I'm here in DC getting soaked. The flimsy el cheapo umbrella I had picked up in NY lasted about 5 minutes in the wind before it was a mangled beyond use.

Despite the forecast that predicted steady rain all day, I got a glimmer of hope at 5 PM when the rain stopped... so I headed on the Metro to the Stadium stop, but alas... it was back to steady moderate rain with occasional wind gusts. Knew that there was no fucking way this game was gonna get in.. so just turned around and headed back to hotel.

Only thing I was able to do was visit a couple museums I'd not seen before, including the Holocaust Museum. Highly recommend that one--very educational, and it wasn't too much for me (but I've seen a LOT of graphic film treatments, read quite a bit, and been to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem)... also ate at a great German cafe (unrelated to the museum).

No sleep since Wednesday night, so going to crash early tonight... hope that the weather breaks and let's us get in both tomorrow.

Good luck....I hope the weather breaks.

be sure to tell us about the DC experience.

Yes, we don't have latin position players (I believe Callaspo was though) but have you looked at the pitching staff? Lyon, Medders, and Webb are the only Americans. 7 from DR, 1 Cuban, and to Venezualans.

If they are serious about Montero for next season, then there is no way Estrada makes it back. A true LH and a true RH will be better than a SH and a LH.

I was just tellin' the Meat Head how those brown guys are really catchin' on to our All-American sport. Wink

i went to the holocaust museum with a gf once. it was eerily silent, and then she sneezed really really loudly. so i said, "gesundheit."

it echoed. we got dirty looks. i didn't mean anything bad. i'm just not really cut out for social interaction. that's all.
