I half expect Maddon to suddenly start Lackey and yell "Ha, fooled you!" only to have the Nats go up 7-0 in the first three innings.

The Cubs are starting arguably their worst defensive OF configuration on a day it's supposed to be sopping wet with the wind blowing straight in. :ohdear:

Apparently the Nats are taking BP right now and the grounds crew is prepping the field so it sounds like they're at least going to try to start on time.

It's gonna be awesome when they burn Arrieta for 2 innings and then bring in Lackey when play resumes.

Maybe if Lackey starts in the 3rd inning we skip his first and second inning woes and go right to him not giving any more runs up for the rest of his outing.

Lackey giving up a million fly balls with the wind howling in sounds ok to me

Good job refusing both clubs' requests to start the game at 1:20, MLB.

I hope you enjoy waiting for infinity. The chance of rain is only going up the rest of the night. I wish MLB would have just checked the weather and made a sane decision.

Mainly gently caress MLB for depriving us of a 1:20 playoff game at Wrigley.

you'll probably get one tomorrow if they delay it since they aren't going to want the teams traveling late Thursday for a Friday G5

MLB is incompetent as gently caress, news at 11.

Gonna be really annoyed when this one gets cancelled and we have to face Strasburg instead.

Hockey is that sport that gave Chicago more championships in the last decade than the other three sports combined.

Also it keeps me in shape, which allows me to stress-drink gallons of beer from the bleachers with limited effect on my belly.

I'm hearing now it was TBS that vetoed the early start time and not MLB. You'd think MLB would have the final say though.

Thats what the score was saying before they went to pre-game.

TBS doesn't feel like dealing with a bunch of ad make goods because way less people watched the game at 1 ET

Seriously though, how the hell is it the networks decision to not change an MLB playoff game time if it is clearly obvious that the game wouldn't be played otherwise?

They don't give the league a fuckton of money just for the hell of it.

They either need to call this poo poo right now or just say gently caress it and play through it, because the rain is only going to get worse and forcing both teams to sit around with their thumbs up their asses isn't doing a lick of good.

I humbly request that if the game is in fact called and played tomorrow, that MLB tells TBS to gently caress off and lets the local crews broadcast it instead as penance.

Good idea but the $325 million the league gets from TBS also makes a convincing argument
