Today's Game

What do you think the odds are that they play today? It's been raining all night and looks to rain up until 2 or 3. Rain seems likely to be pretty heavy at times looking at the radar. Rain chances drop to 25% or lower between 4 and 8. That could indicate a break in the rain that they could squeeze the game into, but no guarantees. Of course, that's 3 hours after the scheduled start time. We've got tickets for the game, but with young kids it is a very long day when you're there for hours with nothing to do.

I have tickets to the game and kids and I'm leaving on a business trip out of BWI at 6pm. Pretty sure we're skipping it. Sitting through a long, wet delay, only to have to leave to fly out and have my wife drive the kids two hours home doesn't seem like a great idea.

You aren't a true fan then. Real fans make their wives sit in rain delays:)

2012 ALDS Game 1. My then four-year-old and I sat (and walked through shoulder-to-shoulder claustrophobic crowds under the stands) through something like a three-hour rain delay and then watched the first five or six innings before bailing many hours past his normal bedtime.

The older you get, the more practical you become. Sitting in rain delays aren't fun and with the fam, very hard to expect.

I don't think I'll even be leaving Bel Air to head down until 1pm just to see what the weather/plan is.

Both teams are off tomorrow...wonder if that means they will make it up then.

When I was 25 I'd have probably been leaving at 9:00 just to be there for the gates opening so I could run around the stadium and hang out and whatever. I sat through 2-hour rain delays at BaySox games and never left my seat. I sat in the airport for six hours overnight in Boston soaking wet trying to dry off in bathroom hand dryers after a Virginia Tech/BC Thursday night game in a monsoon.

Now I'm skipping 15 rows behind the plate at OPACY with no regrets.

Well, at least the rain makes your decision an easy one. Sorry about that.

I'm kind of hoping the weather stays rotten and they just cancel it in advance, but I don't know how likely that is.

They usually cancel late.I am going to leave about a half hour later.

Looking at the radar, it looks like the second wave of rain MIGHT stay just south of Baltimore. *fingers crossed*

I'd rather it rain out and get made up tomorrow.

Pen could use the rest.

I'd prefer this. However, when the Rangers game was rained out on the 17th, both teams had an off day the next day but they didn't play then. Not sure why but that leads me to believe they wouldn't make up the game tomorrow.

I'd rather it get rained out and be made up when Sale isn't pitching.

Might be a dry slot between 2 and 5.Still depends what the outfield looks like.
