For all the Fuck-The-Cubs banter that I willingly participate in, I really didn't hate this Cubs team so much until the Showboat pickup.  That shot them right back up to Fuck You level very quickly.

You should hate the Cubs strictly because their fans are a bunch of slapdicks if nothing else. I don't nessecarily all hate the players on the team, but putting on that C (is for Cocksucker) hat makes you the enemy.

Erstad couldn't handle Dumpster's fastball there. Bases loaded and 2 outs, top 4. Q in a hitter's count now.

Its been difficult for me to hate the Cubs, considering the immense amount of entertainment their fans have given me (at their expense of course) over the years.

That one has expired.  New warnings just north and just south of town.  And i mean just.  In any case, lots of very heavy rain.  If the game is delayed for hours, do the Astros win since it's past 5 or do they try to finish it tomorrow?

k.  thanks.

1.5" of rain in 20 minutes and 70mph wind gust at a sensor 15 miles north of the stadium as this thing rolled in.  Fair amount of stratiform rain behind it.  I'd guess 1.5 to 2 hours of moderate rain.

I didn't get that impression - it seemed to me like dad thought leaving baseball was a poor decision, but thought it was his own decision to make.  I suspect the first Mrs. Sampson isn't a fan of that piece.

Chris mentioned that he will be 'hard' on his son just like his father was 'hard' on him. His father spent a lot of time trying to support his son to his dream, and a woman (Chris's first wife) comes along and almost ruined it. That's why it was also mentioned they discussed his new wife and made sure she would support his dream.

Apparently a bit of a fracas in the brewers dugout... apparently the pitcher Parra got between Fielder and his skyline chili.

BBTN says some (?) people have been evacuated from Wrigley due to tornado warnings... yet the game has not been called.

Joba just left the game against the Rangers after an emergency visit from the trainer. Seemed to be pointing at his shoulder, but I haven't heard any official word yet.

I guess the BBGs actively watch SportsCenter.  This afternoon they had a five-minute "discussion" on whether Joba deserves the Cy Young this year.
Don't think twice, it's alright.

The "fans" have just voted Bucky Walters (???) as the third greatest Reds player ever, according to BBTN polling. Made me laugh; I feel bad for Karl Ravech, who I like, but ESPN deserves it.

Had never heard of him, but wow, pretty interesting career it looks like. Played 184 games at 3B and pitched 428. Not a bad Series for the Reds in 1940- 2-0 with 3 ER in 18 IP. Also 2 for 7 with a homer and double.

Could you imagine what would happen if a player was struck by lightning after the umps ignored all the warning signs?

of course, the astros were/are the last ones on the field.

I was wondering what would happen if a bolt hit the metal stands.

For a very religious man, Lance is unusually scared of thunder and lightning.

Lightning is fuckin' scary. I head for cover, too.

The metal would actually protect them, same as a vehicles metal would protect you in your car.

Don't ask me to prove that theory, however.

5 1/2 hours is long enough to try and get in a game.

Day game tomorrow (fucking Cubs).  They can't keep this going too long, can they?

Raul Mondesi batting for the 2nd time in the same inning for the Mariners... Hit a granny his first time up, and has the bases juiced for this one too.

Only Fernando Tatis has ever hit two grand slams in one inning before.

Q did the same.  He started walking off and waving his hand in a manner that simply said "This shit is over."

Apparently, he's wrong.
I didn't notice Lance, but Q definitely jumped up and sprinted off the field. FWIW... the final lighting/thunder combo sounded like a damn bomb going off. I'm not sure I've ever heard anything that loud.
