That had to be the first time that a game has been postponed for rain when it wasn't raining. The field was just sitting there uncovered. I was completely pissed at first too because it wasn't even raining for the first 1.5+ hours of the delay. However, if the game had started at it's normal start time, the game would've been stopped probably in the 7th inning and the band of rain was pretty wide so it would have been delayed for a while. The rain did eventually move in so the only thing they could have really done to get the game in was move the start time earlier and that wasn't going to happen. It started raining in Ann Arbor a little after 9pm so at that point I knew they wouldn't get the entire game in anyway.
The Cardinals/Giants game got delayed in St. Louis last night because of rain too, but their game started at 4pm so they had plenty of time to finish the game at a reasonable time.

Seriously... Yeah, I get it. The reality is, even if the teams were willing to play, which they wouldn't be, there wouldn't be many fans left to watch the thing.

10:15am here and it's currently a light rain here in downtown Windsor and downtown Detroit. 4:00 game this afternoon? Who knows at this point? Hopefully it clears up and the field is dry enough to play on.
