I know

But the threads automatically load prior to the scheduled game time, usually 5 minutes prior if I don’t set them to something different.

I just automatically make it an hour prior to starting game time, even if it appears there’s going to be a delay.

I just reviewed last night's last few minutes on mlb.tv.

I saw a couple of pairs of women shown in the crowd right before they cut to Just Shoot Me, but I didn’t see me and Lisa.

Not sure

I would have been able to pick us out, since we were both wearing rain ponchos.

I doubt they play today.

Looks like the low pressure systrem is centered over the Cleburne area. There is a band of rain being stretching from Groesbeck – Fairfield up to Corsicana on to Waxahachie and on into the DFW area. Unless the system move off to the west or southwwest the rain will keep coming.

Grrr
The sky isn’t as dark as it was, and the rain has slowed significantly. The grounds crew will need at least an hour to get the field ready for game action. A 4 p.m. start doesn’t seem at all realistic, but the Rangers are still hoping to get at least one game played today.

(Here comes the grounds crew now to assess how much work they have to do. It’s not insignificant.)

why is the rain swirling around the DFW area like a hurricane?

can someone with weather knowledge tell me why?

Im no meteorologist

But I believe theres a low pressure system sitting right on top of the area which makes things go counterclockwise. It pulls moisture up from the gulf on the eastern side which is where we are

Because there are two low pressure systems in Texas, I believe.

Rare event but it also happened in July 07 and it rained like a mother most of that month.

That system southeast of DFW is gonna wipe this game out. Can’t see them playing more than 3 innings.
