Oh yeah, there’s a ballgame tonight. Easy how everyone has forgotten about that, considering all the draft hoopla.
The bad news: A violent thunderstorm has delayed the start of this game. The good news: The rain is subsiding and the tarp is currently being pulled off the infield. Figure it takes a good 30-40 minutes to get the field ready, but we should have baseball around 8:50 p.m., according to the grounds crew and umpires.
