They found a hole!

[HitInAPinch]

Flash Flood warnings ....

[KirbyHawk75]

Wow, Destini Molitor.  Now that there is a rain delay, what is the deal with her?  She is much younger than Paul.  

[ashbury]

What did the Strat-O-Matic dice have to say about the threat of rain?

[Riverbrian]

 

What's the word on Hector Nolasco?

 

Jeez

 

You mashed them together.

 

That can't be helpful for us. 

[Aggies7]

Wow, Destini Molitor.  Now that there is a rain delay, what is the deal with her?  She is much younger than Paul.

 

Is this a real question?

[Danchat]

 

What did the Strat-O-Matic dice have to say about the threat of rain?

Ummm, yeah, there's no accounting for that. 

 

I'm not sure if I should continue playing... if the game is canceled, I'd rather finish the game today... what do you guys think?

[kydoty]

 

Wow, Destini Molitor.  Now that there is a rain delay, what is the deal with her?  She is much younger than Paul.  

 

Yeah, I'd say he's done pretty well for himself since his last marriage.

[HitInAPinch]

It's a pretty large storm cell and it's coming down hard. 

[ashbury]

You Minnesota guys might need a submarine to stay dry in a few minutes. Look at all the red on that radar!

I thought Minnesota was a Blue state.

[Halsey Hall]

It's still going strong up here, lightning and thunder and rain just won't stop.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I'm just going to whistle on my way by this because I've stopped too many times.

 

I'll just say that I honestly do respect everybody's opinion and right to those opinions.

That's good too.

 

I am believer in and frequent exerciser of my right to be wrong.

 

Part and parcel of doing my own thinking...

 

Oh, and sorry i am late to the game thread. What i miss?

[ashbury]

That's good too.

With the rain delay, you'll have plenty of time to peruse and ponder.

 

I hope Chief didn't get wet on his walk.

Mrs. Chief dragged Chief outta the house.  Hasn't been seen since......

Concur.

 

Hope Mrs. Chief doesn't get rained on either...

 

Is it a big enough umbrella?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mrs. Chief dragged Chief outta the house. Hasn't been seen since......

And i see we paused the game for them.

 

Do search parties bring their own disco balls?

 

edit... spelling... difficult...

[Platoon]

Wow, Destini Molitor.  Now that there is a rain delay, what is the deal with her?  She is much younger than Paul.

 

I think Molly went over his pay grade!

[Danchat]

Since it doesn't look like the game will resume tonight, would you guys like me to finish the Strat-o-matic game? Or should I save it for later?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes please.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Ummm, yeah, there's no accounting for that.

The rain delay was when your mom said "Dinner's ready."

[KirbyHawk75]

Is it true that she was a stripper in Milwaukee?  I do not really care, as she seems to be a great person who does great things, but I know friends from Milwaukee have said that.  

[Danchat]

 

Yes please.

Alright, here's the 3rd inning.

 

Top of the 3rd

Kemp grounded out to first.

Springer struck out swinging.

Bregman singled past SS.

Altuve struck out swinging.

 

Bottom of the 3rd

Dozier struck out swinging.

Grossman singled to left.

Sano hit into a fielder's choice - Grossman out at 2nd.

Plouffe struck out looking.

 

Santana has 7 strikeouts. I think I need to modify the numbers of Ks...

[KirbyHawk75]

I cannot see this game being resumed.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Any news about the delay?

 

What do we do now?

[Vanimal46]

Are we letting Erv go the distance here? What's our pitch count?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Are we letting Erv go the distance here? What's our pitch count?

I am strangely comfortable with 7K in 3 innings...

 

Quick, we need to finish 5 to make it official.

[Danchat]

 

Any news about the delay?

What do we do now?

You wait for my updates, of course! 

 

Are we letting Erv go the distance here? What's our pitch count?

Yeah, since I'm the manager [of both teams], I'm letting Santana go as long as he can. I don't track how many pitches he has thrown. I imagine he's thrown around 40-45 pitches.

[Vanimal46]

I like the aggressive move Danchatty. I'm used to calling the managers Kelly, Gardy, and Molly. It's habitual now.

[Vanimal46]

We're letting it ride until Erv's arm is detached from his body! Let's get him some runs.

[Danchat]

My real name is Danny, so you could call me that.
