Today: Occasional showers. High near 46. West northwest wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Tonight: Showers likely, mainly before 8pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 35. West wind 5 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

They should get this one in. But it will not be a very pleasant game.

Rainout 2 days in a row?

Do they ever play triple headers? LMAO

Again...get a roof for your stadium you gang-bangin, slum living, car building pieces of shit.

All northern teams or rustbelt teams should have retractable roofs like Milwaukee.

Couldn't agree more. Like I was saying to someone else yesterday, it hot as hell in Phx. Hot enough to postpone games in the summer. What did they do when building a new stadium? They took that possibility out of the equation by adding a roof. It's an open air stadium when it needs to be, but it's a dome when it needs to be too.

If it rains every other day for a quarter of your baseball season where your team is located...get a ****ing roof.

I'd never seen a retractable roof on a baseball stadium before, that is ****in' awesome!

Exactly

Minute Maid Park in Houston is a restractable roof stadium as well because Houstons summers are notoriously hot and humid.

Great looking stadium too!

According to Wikipedia, there are 6 major league parks with retractable roofs

:LOL:

Royals Baseball! We played 2 games in 6 days!

Here's to hoping they play some baseball tonight!

Poor Mendoza. He probably feels like he'll never pitch again
