Not sure I wouldn't rather start Brown in Game 5. At the moment, I trust JV only slightly more than Smith. But if JV were to start that game, hopefully the plan would be to have Brown come in at the first serious hint of a rally. Guess I know better, but let me have my dreams. 

too early to be this drunk 

[Chuckie Finster 22978]

It’s good for them.

Good for Philly fans as a whole. Pretty shitty for the ones who have to pay for parking, concessions, etc. for a game that everyone knows isn’t happening.

Again, lulz fuck them, but just more bush league shit from the commish.

Absolutely zero reason for him to go in Game 4, get the full rest and go game 5 

Game 4 in a ppd scenario would be full/normal rest.

and even scarier, could make him available on short rest for a possible game 7

Yeah, but then you'd also be a fat, hairy douchewaffle who deserved misery, so.

Other than the Philly fan part I resemble this remark.

Factually correct, I was more going for "extra rest" and said it poorly.

I just see no reason to skip Javier when he's been lights out

Why am I getting Asian Porn comic book advertisements all over the place on Surly?  I have never visited graphic novel porn in my life, nor Asian porn either (NTTAWWT). 

[Scraps 13745]

I always find these situations funny because they could easily be avoided.

Yes this alternative sucks, but everyone knew 3 days ago about this weather so they could have just started the game at 3 pm and got it in.....and that could have been told before any team even left Houston so both teams were prepared. I know $$$ talks and this would have never be done though.

You already said it (money talks), but Mastercard didn’t pay for the “ I stand up to cancer” gamebreak at 4pm instead of 8pm.

No weeping here for Philly fans.

[texashorne 1185]

There's a major system that should push through by game time. Problem is, there's another even larger one behind that. I would imagine that what the meetings are about

Did you pay extra on your membership this month or something?

Not official but this seems to be what’s going to happen and I am not gruntled

It makes economic sense not to have it. That's why they don't. It would be a waste of money.

[runthebone 8322]

These fuckers are trying to fuck us, and I say fuck you because that is just going to piss the Astros even more the fuck off.

 

Fuckers.

[Ichabod 185]

This worst part about weather delays right now are the constant puns about roof talk. It gets annoying. There’s not a roof, there won’t be a roof, just quit talking about a fucking roof.

I do not agree.  The Yankees spent 2.3B on their stadium.  They absolutely could have put a retractable roof on it for that money.

Anyway, if you want to delay tonight, whatever, but the travel day has to go.  People make plans to attend Games 6 and 7.

I was pissed, but now, you know what, let's just space the games out so we face Nola and Wheeler for all 7 games.  Why not?  We aren't having problems with them, and it allows us to skip Verlander.

[Ichabod 185]

Postponed, fuck this. 

[TonyTexas 10683]

There it is

Probably. But I wouldn't expect any new baseball stadiums in that part of the country to ever have a retractable roof.

You’re Tree Fiddy membership has probably lapsed. This site bombards with you ads if you’re not Tree Fiddy.

[runthebone 8322]

Cocksuckers

[David Dennison 19441]

I really hope this reaction is because we want to see baseball tonight and not because we're skeered of an extra day off for the mighty Phillies.

[WBT 20884]

Adding the extra off day is bullshit.  The playoffs need fewer off days not more.  Teams should be rewarded for having deeper pitching staffs.

Philly could theoretically now go: G1 Nola, G2 Wheeler, G3 Nola 3 days rest, G4 Wheeler 3 days rest, G6 Nola 3 days rest, G7 Wheeler 3 days rest.  

I don't think they will but it shouldn't be possible.

Even though the game was postponed today, it feels like a loss

We shelled Nola and Wheeler. It would be awesome if they pitched this way.

I didn’t think this was Asian but when I clicked on the link to see if this was what I thought it was it said Asian. I think it’s the first add I’ve ever clicked on. 
also- now I get to watch without the trick or treat, but son of a fucking bitch the fact that we’ve played 9 games in the last 28 days is absurd. 

[David Dennison 19441]

If they want to bring their guys on three days rest, let 'em.

Fuck Manfred and Fuck MLB.  The only additional game I will be able to watch is tomorrow.  I will be able to watch some of the Wednesday night game in the Centurion club, but with a flight at 10:05 PM, there will still be a lot of ball to play when I go to catch my flight.  Sigh.

Yes, economic sense is why the Yankees didn't include it in their 2.3 billion dollar stadium. Financial constraints and all.

Oops too late.
