Being fans of a team from the Midwest means we are quite accustomed to rain delays. In fact, the Viva El Birdos crew once spent several hours waiting out a rain delay while drinking mudslides and dancing at a particularly memorable VEB Day. The players do not have the luxury of Kahlúa, however.
Or... maybe they do. As the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs show here, you cannot let a little rain get you down!
I have questions, the biggest of which is WHERE DID THE CUBS RELIEVERS GET THOSE MASKS?
