RAINED OUT!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

GUH

[Zvon]

yep.
And so it goes.

[Frayed Knot]

The game will obviously be made up on Friday - although they've yet to announce the start time.

What they DID announce is that Game 1 tickets will be honored on Friday, and those w/Game 2 tickets who were set to attend Thursday's game will still do so as planned.

[Willets Point]

Rats. Well at least there's an ALCS game.

[seawolf17]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO rain.

[Valadius]

At least it gives Cliffy an extra day of rest.

[Guest ABG]

So now Carpenter can go in Game 2, and for Glavine to come back in Game 5 he'll have to do so on short rest.

Grand.

[soupcan]

I'm behind the loge section waiting.

I've got beer.

Where is everybody?

Hello...?

[Guest vtmet]

The series should have started yesterday, now the Tigers will have 2 wins before the Mets series even starts...Tigers will be probably waiting around getting rested for 3 or 4 days before the NL is determined...

[Gwreck]

[soupcan]

Double post.

[stevejrogers]

See you Friday night...maybe...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

They should have listened to what I said yesterday afternoon:

]The thought of a rainout on Wednesday is worrisome. The makeup game would probably be on Friday afternoon, with the series resuming as scheduled in St. Louis on Saturday. That would leave the Mets (and Cards, of course) playing on five consecutive days. Which means they'd either need a fifth starter or they'd have to send Glavine on three days rest in Game 5. I'd probably go with Glavine on three days. The alternative would be Darren Oliver making his first start of the year? Or do the Mets replace Ring on the roster with Williams tomorrow morning if the weather forecast looks like rain is likely?

Word I heard on ESPN earlier (around 7PMish-est), talking to LaRussa, is Carpenter will still stay in originally planned rotation spot.

Ive had a hectic day/evening here-with one eye and ear on the TV , but I think I heard that right......

[Guest KC]

Had a nice heart attack meal at Virgil's with KB and then hung out some
more there watching the rain and endless ESPN loop of plane crash news
and headed on out ... only to find out about five stops out to turn back. It
took me ten minutes to remember that the Queensboro Plaza station has
two stories - duh, the trains are going the wrong way?

Is it really Friday? That's too cool for me, hope it doesn't mess anyone
else up.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'd definitely prefer an evening start, otherwise I'm gonna get sick!

[A Boy Named Seo]

]Ive had a hectic day/evening here-with one eye and ear on the TV , but I think I heard that right......

You heard that right. La Russa said he'd think about it more, but will likely keep the order in tact, and said he likes the idea of having Carpenter go a potential Game 7.

I see his point, but he's putting a lot of faith in the other stiffs that they can even get to a Game 7.

I was very happy to hear this news.

[Willets Point]

You gotta love LaGenius. Maybe he'll give Ankiel another shot while he's at it.

Me 3.

This also gives Rolin a chance to be in better shape.
That worries me a tad--
but everything kinda worries me in post season.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I'm hoping for a 4 p.m. start on Friday. I'm working from home anyway, and I can just knock off an hour or so early.

[Frayed Knot]

So what exactly is causing them to be still unsure of the time of Friday's start?
Choose a frickin time and announce it!!

No shit! If I have to ask for time off, I need to do it ASAP! I'm really nervous that I won't be able too. Half our office is out on Friday and I'm thinking that will make my boss less inclined to approve anything.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Any healin' time for Rolen is also applicable to Cliffy's tendon and Beltran's ab.

Lo Duca's thumb and maybe Hernandez's calf, while I'm at it. Maybe.

Maybe Juan Padilla can take advantage of the off day to get in game shape.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Well, the delay in the start of the NLCS won't have any impact on Orlando Hernandez unless there are still more rainouts to come, and enough of them to postpone the start of the World Series.

---

It's almost 8 o'clock on Thursday morning, and Friday's game time is still TBD. Unbelievable. Yesterday afternoon, the network suits and the MLB suits and the Madison Avenue suits should have scheduled a conference call and said, "If tonight's game in New York is postponed, what time Friday should we play?" And then when the game was called, they could have made the annoucement immediately.

I'm going to be able to be in front of my TV regardless. But this shows a complete disregard for ticket holders who may need time to juggle their schedule.

[Guest cooby]

You know it's up to FOX, not MLB, don't you?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Yeah, I know. But I figured they'd have MLB in on the call as a courtesy.

[Guest cooby]

They'll be the face making the call, FOX will be the head.
