Also on MLB.com right now it says delayed for the game. I'm not in Baltimore, so I don't know the weather right now, but hopefully it won't be for too long.

The rain just started, and there's a lightning delay that forced all the fans in open-air areas to seek cover. This game's not starting very soon.

Not only is the weather bad, but so is the TV announcing team--Hunter and Martinez...it's a good thing they don't have to entertain us through the rain delay like announcers did back in the day.

Ahh ok thanks. That gives me time to go get food then, so I went won't miss anything when it does start. I remember having that rain down here Sunday night. The thunder and lightning was crazy.

The radar looks pretty bad. This could last more than an hour.

[Hank Scorpio]

No rain up here in Hanover, PA.

But, there is in Hanover, MD.

But, there is in Hanover, MD.

...Which is slightly more relevant, given that rain tends to go SW to NE.

Precisely.

I'd be surprised if they postponed the game. I think they'll be good to go in like an hour or so.

[bumblebee]

I wish yesterday's game had been rained out.

[baseballnelie]

I doubt they will postpone the game. The Braves/Nationals game last night had a 2 hour and 10 minute rain delay before its 1st pitch.

Just our luck.

anyone have an update on game time?

[Hank Scorpio]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't started by 8:30pm.
