Uncomfortably Dumb

No Game Today! In consultation with the BABL, it's been decided that, while not dangerous due to a wet field, it's not too bright to be trying to play while so cold and windy.

                         Temp. Feels Like
 9:00am            44 °F   37 °F
10:00am           47 °F   39 °F
11:00am           48 °F   41 °F
12:00pm           50 °F   43 °F
  1:00pm           52 °F   46 °F

Same time next week!

Plan to Play!

2pm, Saturday: puddling behind 1B but the mound and plate are tight and this field drains very well. It's likely to be chilly and windy, but that's October baseball!

2am, Sunday: no puddles, no crackheads. All infield is tight, but lumpy. Grab a rake and bring it or get there and grab a rake.

We're still on ... unless it's too stupid-cold. Charlie's bailed. Maybe he's the smart one? Email if you're out. BABL, get at Paul.

The question is the temp and winds (45 mph gusts, windchill.) A final determination will post between  8am and 8:15am.
 
    Time             Temp. Feels Like
 9:00am            44 °F   37 °F
10:00am           47 °F   39 °F
11:00am           48 °F   41 °F
12:00pm           50 °F   43 °F
  1:00pm           52 °F   46 °F

Find the long-johns. Popups will be fun!

No Drought on Sundays

... so no game this week. While we did have the numbers for today, they're too low to try to pull it together for the Monday holiday.

Gather your loved ones, decorate the house for Columbus Day, sing some traditional Columbus Day songs, enjoy a traditional Columbus Day feast ...


We've got 3+ more weeks to see if we can beat Mother Nature.

Yep ...

... we've hit 14 confirmed by Wednesday night which, over the last couple of months, seems to be the magic number to get us to 21 or so by the time Game Day rolls around. The rain seems to be coming late Saturday day and clearing for our game, while the hurricane is heading out to sea. So we're looking to go on Sunday, and not the Monday backup plan.

Update, noon on Thursday: ... and just after posting, we got to 15.

Mother Nature Wins Every Time

No game. With a mist still in the air and the field soft in several places, it's a good day to stay in and watch QB34, as Big Papi takes snaps for the Patriots.

We'll do Our Regular Thing next week and look to reschedule with the BABL after that.

We'll See

... in the morning. Forecasts still show the rain ending. The field drains very well. Both will be rechecked in the morning and the game will go on if the field can tighten and conditions made safe.

The notice typically goes up around 8:15am but will likely be earlier this week.
