April 30, 200322 yr it is pouring right now, the game may not get in. According to weather.com there is a 2 hour window from 7 to 9. I'm in Hillside and it's clear as can be moving towards the city. Sing it with me boys... "rain, rain go away.... "
April 30, 200322 yr Come again another day (Preferably when we are getting our butts kicked in the 3rd inning of some game)
April 30, 200322 yr Author I live 10 minutes from the Cell and right now it's 5:23 and its clear. It hasn't rained since approx. 3:00 CT. So, it looks like this game will be on schedule. If it does start raining, guys who are going, stick in there, cuz this game will be played!
April 30, 200322 yr SF1, you live 10 minutes from the Cell? I lived that close I'd be out there at least every other night. I live 2172.24 miles from the yard. I couldn't imagine living that close!
April 30, 200322 yr Author SF1, you live 10 minutes from the Cell? I lived that close I'd be out there at least every other night. I live 2172.24 miles from the yard. I couldn't imagine living that close! Yeah, for the trillionth time, I live 10 minutes from the Cell. I try to get as many games in as possible but Im only 13 and I am the only one (including my 9 yr old lil sis) that doesnt work. I get weekend games in all the time though. Weeknight games depend on if my dad gets home at or before 5:00. My mom works till 1 in the morning so she is excluded. So, yeah, I live 10 minutes from the Cell but I cant drive (which will be different in 2 years). When I get the chance I go, but the age and parent thing sucks! But hey, maybe 1 weekend, all of us that post here that live in Chicago (or in the area) can get together and bye tickets for 1 game. We could sit together and stuff. That would be fun!
April 30, 200322 yr Author It's 6:35 and the weather is clear and the ground has dried up. Not 1 drop since 3:00. Look's like that 30% chance of no rain is kicking in. The game WILL start on schedule!
