I see an end in sight on the radar, so I think they will play tonight, but possibly not until at least 8:00-8:30 at best.

You were only 30 minutes off. Not that bad.

Whatever time they get started.... it all clears out after that. We might play till 1 am but we should get the game in tonight.

I am NOT turning the sound up! Because I refuse to give a F. But what game are they showing during the delay? Is that Calvin freaking Maduro???? Is HTS ok with MASN showing their old footage? Mel Proctor and LO-LO on the mic....

Right after the strike ended and play resumed.

The first game after the strike ended and play resumed was the MLB All Star Game.  Ken Singleton homered.

A couple weeks later I was hanging out in the basement of a high school buddy's, and he said you want to see something cool?  He showed me this newfangled device I had never seen before, stuck a tape in it, and we were able to watch Singleton's ASG HR on it.  First time I had ever seen a VCR

Oh great! It's Keegan Akin on the mound! He of the 5.999ERA ans 2.347 WHIP!

Those numbers are made up but I'LL BET YOU they're not far off the truth!

 

Done before the game even starts...

[SteveA]

Eddie hit his 500th HR late one night at Oriole Park after a long rain delay, at midnight or so IIRC 

Cabrera starts the game with 498.
