Raining pretty heavily in Queens.

Maybe we'll get lucky and get rained out, then we can move up the rotation again.

NJReds · 05-09-2008, 02:48 PM

We're supposed to get over 2" of rain today. I doubt that they get this game in unless they're prepared to sit out a lengthy delay.

The weather guy on WLW this morning doubted it.

This is the National Weather Service forecast for New York sounds like it may end by around 8 so if that is right may be able to get it in with a delay.

Quote:

Late Afternoon: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. Steady temperature around 52. Northeast wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Tonight: Rain, mainly before 8pm. The rain could be heavy at times. Low around 47. Breezy, with a north wind between 15 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

They just changed that forecast now it is supposed to rain until midnight so this is looking like a rain out.

Double header in the next two days at all?

Hello Homer?

Play in the rain....wimps

If the game is called and no DH is scheduled, both teams have an off day on 7-31 as the Reds have a 3 game series in HOU Jul 28-30 and the Mets are in FLA those 3 days. The Reds are going to D.C. on Aug 1 and the Mets to FLA.

Matt700wlw · 05-09-2008, 04:58 PM

I would imagine if it's called, a DH will be played tomorrow...

They usually don't schedule DHs this early in the season.

They are going to have to.

They don't go back to Shea.

They do go to Yankee & Philly, but the schedule doesn't work with the Mets.

There's an unwritten rule that states that the Yankees and Mets never play on the same day in NYC unless it's against each other.

I am hoping for rain out, you all know as well as I do, that I need one them "mental days off"

Matt700wlw · 05-09-2008, 05:17 PM

Unless the field is completely unplayable, I think they'll play.

When? I don't know....reports now saying rain chances tonight are only 30%, so it's just a matter of this rain getting through.

It's rare, but it does happen.
