Cold + Rain = I don't think this game is going to happen.

But we'll see.

No return trips to SF this year, so with a rainout we'd likely have to play two on Sunday. The rain isn't there yet, but storms all around the Bay Area.

 

Use this radar to track the systems if you wish

Any word on how Miller is feeling? I hope he didn't get the "bug!"

[DHonks]

I wouldn't expect this postponed. Bay Area weather is very odd. I remember one day walking to class and it was 75 and sunny. During class it was absolutely pissing outside. Once over, I walked to my other class in 65 and sunny conditions. During that class it absolutely pissed. Then after class it was nice 80 and sunny. It was like having 5 weather systems in about 2 hours!. Some days the systems just come flying in off the ocean at a great speed.

 

Of course ,others systems just stall. One year we had a Seattle-like stretch where it rained 50 of 60 days, and not cool rain, but just a constant depressing mist.

 

With the radar that rain-free, I'd be tempted to think they'll play this game unless things take a turn for the worse

A DH would be cool, it would allow me to watch the entire first day of the draft, uninterrupted. However, the radar SBS showed makes it look like there won't be that much rain in the SF area by gametime.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Miller said the dizziness was from the lack of blood sugar. May be held out today as a precautionary measure? Let's get that guy a protein bar or something. I'm kinda eager to see this Miller in the 2-hole line-up again.

[burniebrewer]

No Miller today. Hardy has moved to the #2 hole.

Brilliant! So like last night Neddy is keeping Spivey at 6, Jenks 3rd and Nintendo 5th. The Muscle is back and hitting 7th with Moeller batting 8th.

Nintendo should bat third.

[Brian the Automator]

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Hardy in the 2-hole. He's not going to get pitched around at all, so either this will be a catalyst or a really bad idea.

[ja002h]

This game is also only scheduled for 1pm, so they can wait around for quite a while if they don't want to do a DH tomorrow.

[brettac1]

I think it's bound to change soon. With how much contact he makes, hits will start to happen, just because of luck.

[badgerfan.tgf]

I'm afraid JJ hitting in the two-hole will mean a lot more double plays if Clark can get on ahead of him. I swear 75% of the time JJ makes contact its a weak grounder to short.

[DHonks]

wow, first Ned listens to someone about putting Miller 2nd (just proposed by someone the other day) and flips Jenks and Overbay. Now today he's listening to my suggestion w/Hardy.

[rwa12]

don't think JJ could have hit that one much better...

[Ando Calrissian]

did anyone else just lose the internet feed for the game?

[JoeH33]

Finally, it looks like Jenks is starting to come around. Two walks yesterday and a few hits the last couple days.

[bsglorydays]

Ooooh.... first error for JJ Hardy. Looked like the ball came up on him a bit, but a play that should have been made. Oh well, get the next one.

[brewerjamie15]

Defensive woes continue. Man oh man.

[DHonks]

my prediction for the day...Capuano gets a hit

[bsglorydays]

Off topic but worth noting...

 

The Packers just selected Brett Favre's successor, QB Aaron Rodgers from Cal.

[bsglorydays]

Production from Jenkins and Lee... Gotta love it!
