I wouldn’t die for rain or kill for rain even though we haven’t had any in two months in Idaho, but I might rip my shirt off and run around in the parking lot to celebrate if it did rain. Instead yesterday they were predicting for Boise Idaho rainless 50 mph winds that would knock down trees.

Still thunder rumbling here in RO at Main and 696.

Meanwhile…

KC is leading Cleveland early. The Royals can move into a tie for 1st if they win tonight.

mlb.tv is showing pregame shows, so first pitch must be scheduled.

edit: well, maybe. tarp is still on the field, no sign of activity. boo.

They were interviewing Shelby Miller a few minutes ago about how great the clubhouse is right now and that’s been the only break in running a constant “This event is in Weather delay” video.

yeah, I thought the Shelby thing was me coming in in the middle of a pregame show.

It looked like about an hour ago the rain was almost done. In fact it did stop. Then it’s been raining pretty good since.  And now a huge thunder.  I’m thinking they’d won’t play.   I’m just reading a book on my kindle in my car.  Wish I had a beer.

They swept a DH yesterday from Cleveland. KC is for real.

Brown bagging it in a car in a parking lot…

if accuweather's radar forecast is to be believed, the rain will be gone in an hour or so.

[IdahoBert]

I don’t want Riley Greene playing in the outfield on wet grass.

That’s what it said an hour ago.  But this is the view west.

IDK, new rain still forming behind the original front. What’s the drop dead to start? 9:00? Might not make that. 

[IdahoBert]

[Begin rant] On the three or four minutes they were on with the pregame it was about .500 meaning something? This is a grand experiment! This is like a Jackson Pollock painting, throwing something against the canvas and seeing if it makes sense. This is looking for the northwest passage. This is the Vikings crossing the Atlantic and landing in Nova Scotia in 1021. This is a journey whose outcome you cannot predict. It’s better than a win loss ledger! [end of rant]

They're playing some weird game on Bally Sports. Kinda like wiffle ball.

It hasn't rained here for the last 1/2 hour. Scattered heavy showers.

IDK....something weird. They're talking about a league, they look like Americans...did that storm put me thru a time portal into another dimension? 😁😁

The rain has arrived in Cleveland. Delayed there.

Here's the score of this strange game;
