Unless 5 innings have been played and they are losing.

Cancelling friday's game was the right call, as much as I wanted us to play. They had to err on the side of caution. However, whenever the storm has passed through, unless there's something wrong with both airports, the play should continue.

Saturday will definitely be out.  But if that storm gets all the way to Arkansas by Sunday as the NWS seems to think, unless there are serious problems in Houston, a Sunday game and maybe Monday DH is possible.

Obviously, this assumes no significant flooding or other damage. It may well be that the series has to be played at the end of the season. TTB thinks this is best, and he may well be right. I'd love to have Wigginton and Wandy and maybe even Matsui at full strength.

Footer was a guest on ESPN radio here in NY last night. She said the Cubs originally proposed playing all 3 games at the "neutral" site of Milwaukee. The Astros said "thanks, but no thanks." (and I don't think they were in favor of it before they were against it).

From her article on Astros.com:  LINK

During Thursday's discussions, the Cubs suggested the series be played at Miller Park, according to Astros infielder Mark Loretta.

"Initially, the first thing we heard was the Cubs wanted us to fly to Milwaukee to play," he said. "We didn't think it was a very good idea to try to evacuate our families and take off and leave them behind. That was quickly nixed."

Noting the close proximity between Chicago and Milwaukee, Loretta added with a chuckle, "Milwaukee's kind of a home game for [the Cubs], isn't it?"

I read elsewhere that officials from the Players Association were also a part of these discussions, and that it was likely that they would have nixed a 'neutral park' idea (related to issues of players being forced to leave their homes and families in the midst of a hurricane).

So I just got off the phone with my mother (she lives in Montrose) and she told me it wasn't even raining yet. Why didn't the Cubs catch their flight to Houston and play the Friday game?

They should've played one today and either on one Sunday or two Monday.

Looks like some people with the Brewers think it still may happen.  Just wishful thinking?

Loretta hit the nail on the head here as to what's more important than baseball: the ability of the players to ensure the safety of their families. Everything else is a distant, distant second.
