Any word on the delay?Or do i have to do my own research...

I did my own research and according to accuweather it looks like the last weak cell is finally passing through. That information comes with every caveat known to mankind (and crabkind)

 

I also know a half hour ago, the Baltimore Orioles tweeted out a cryptic message suggesting there would be a ballgame at the end of the rainbow.

 

Isn't it funny how certain sportswriters will tweet out things during a game like "Mauer RBI single!" that the whole world knows, but when you need real information during a rain delay, there's nothing.

They're saying first pitch in about a half hour; 8:35 Central.

Thanks!

 

Yeay, the rainbow ends in half an hour.

FTFY

Ha, I laughed out loud at that one!

 

I'm heading over to the bright side of the road.

I may actually get home by the first pitch if my phone can stop ringing.

I paused a moment before clicking, because I was looking for the "Like, but made squeamish by..."  button.

Hey Bark, I didn't see you out here for a while.  You must be back from Kerguelen Island (which I had to google).  

But while there, did you run across any Kerguelen Shags?

No shag like a Kerguelen Shag, I always heard.

Bark you didn't kill the bird, right? I mean he's just resting, right? He'll get up won't he?

[spinowner]

I haven't been watching because I was afraid they'd show that stupid Rick Dempsey rain delay schtick.

[twinsnorth49]

Ahhh, the dulcet tones of Dick Bremer finally comes through my TV................time to hit mute and enjoy some baseball.

Hey Lil' North. Of Course I didn't kill him. He is just very sleepy right now. He'll be chirpin' at your window when you awake from your evening slumber in the morn'.

[David HK]

Maybe he's just stunned.

[twinsnorth49]

Buxton and Sano in the lineup together for the first time!! I'm giddy!!

 

Go Lookouts!!!....................I mean Twins!

[David HK]

And as long as the game is getting underway just as I head to class, (fk), I'll make a rant/plea: 
Hopefully, this freefall can be slowed, and the season can finish with a lot of the kids up and learning and playing well.  But for the love of God, can we at least finish above the White Sox?  That will make it a successful season for me, at this point.

Uneventful first leaves a scoreless game.

 

Hurray for the second inning!

why wasn't there one of those of A-rod for the Yankee series?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Ah, so that's what good bunting looks like...

 

Nicely done, Senor Rosario!

 

Bases loaded, no outs, what will happen?!

 

(suspenseful, no?)

Apathy, Alcohol and a Dead Spirit.

Hunter and Suzuki come through, and we have us a lead. And still none out for the Escobar!

[howeda7]

Hunter had a decent AB and Kurt Klutch comes through. We're comin' now....

[Riverbrian]

 

and blue?

 

blue crabby?

 

I love bad jokes!!! 

[Ultima Ratio]

How many runs will we need to protect this lead from our BP/general pitching snafu?  I think we need 7.
