The new site...
is pretty, and I like it now that it has an option for wide screens, but it sure sucks up resources more than the old one. I've already had it lock up once

I asked this at the bottom of the other thread
What exactly is the rainout rule before the 5th? Is everything before the rainout null and void? I remember they changed the rule either last year or the year before, and it's got me all sorts of confused.

Looks like it will last a while
I think they'll get this game in but by the looks of the radar it looks like it will be about an hour and a half before they start again.

Well the good news is...
That will be about the time im just getting home. Though we may walk down to a bar first.

Is it the server
or the number of posts that locked up the thread?

I have a feeling it might be the server
but this will be the experiment that proves or disproves that theory.

If my memory is right...
...the home team gets to make the call and you have to figure they'll make sure they get through 5 and a half, right?

No
Once the game starts, it's the umpires' decision. Before it starts, it's the home team's.

Zambrano having a middle finger injury in Chicago
Can't tell exactly what's going on, but I think they're pulling him out after 6 2/3.

Does anyone have a radio feed of the game?
When are we expecting to start up again? I know the radar looks grim, but my Extra Innings is just playing music with a thing saying the game is delayed.

The good news is that this is more or less the heaviest day of traffic for the whole network, we're learning a lot and planning ways to avoid future downtime.

I would think so for both starters. Break for COL, Francis wasn't going to last much longer anyways...

Yes, besides being a diehard Fins fan, I'm also a diehard Cardinals fan. (Also a Nets fan, but we'll keep that one quiet as they struggle to even make the playoffs in the terrible East).
Ironically, it was me stumbling across Viva back in '05 that made me aware of SB Nation. But I never posted until the '06 playoff run, kind of as a stress relief during the games. Then I saw the kind of community that was here and inspired me to contact SBN and see if they would give me a shot at running a Dolphins site.
And for some reason, they liked me. lol Go figure!

I was hoping that game would be rained out today
so that, should the Pirates lose tonight and we hold this lead...we'd be alone in 1st place for atleast 1 day.

I believe he was the only one
in ST that was performing half decently.
I could see the Cubs being in a month long slump offensively like we were last year. The question is, can Lilly, Marquis and Hill keep them in games again this year.
