Rain rain go away

After the driest winter on record, mother nature still found a way to rain-out our latest game. Snowpack in the Sierra is at 29 percent of normal. Forecasters are talking about drought. Then suddenly around 7PM Wednesday night, it starts to sprinkle. By 9:30 it was raining. Small drops, but steady rain. The game starts, even as the officials in blue make grumpy little faces that say "we desperately want to call this game off." Many Slugs refuse to sit on the bench. It's too wet, so they camp under a tree (thankfully this was not a thunderstorm). The drops grow more robust. We make it through an inning and a half, then just as Dan is about to get up for his first at-bat, the officials call it. The Slugs are rained out. I'm generally agnostic, but perhaps in this case God didn't want us to take on the *itten *ats without Erin and Chris.

I haven't heard from the league yet, but the ump was saying something about it being re-scheduled for sometime when it's 105 degrees and painfully sunny. It should give the "Neurotic D-Leaguer" to write-up a full scouting report.

Up next - 7:30 PM 05/10/07 Beer30 VS Slugs... rumor has it their captain got in a fight with one of their officials...so who knows what to expect with this one.
