Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 26, 2006 I know the usual media schlubs are saying they have to get these games in... but, there's a possibility for snow in Detroit this weekend. And a slight warmup during the week. So, postponing games in shit weather like this isn't the end of the world. Except for FOX, possibly, which I guess is who matters most here.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Any word on when the game might start? I'm not turning on my tv unless there's baseball on. They said the storm would be out of the area by 9:30, with the game starting shortly after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 If they don't call this soon this game won't end until 3 am EST, counting all the pitching changes. If tonight is rained out do you think STL moves up Weaver for Game 5 depending on if they win Game 4? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Plaschke's blaming the weather(in part, at least) for low ratings. He says the season schedule is stretched out too long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 I'm surprised he didn't blame it on the fact the Mets got eliminated, thus we were robbed the sight of Paul LoDuca playing in the World Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 It has nothing to do with the season, and everything to do with the expanded playoffs. The season has been 162 games for 45 years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 I think it has more to do with the fact the Cards are a 83 win club, and probably the least dominant division winner, playing against a team that lost their division lead in the final few weeks, the Tigers. It screams "Lame Duck" vs "Lame Duck". I am surprised that neither the Tigers' dominance in the postseason or the Cardinals' nice playoff run isn't turning the fans around on them.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Cold weather works for football. Not for baseball. The coldness drastically affects velocity, and how far a ball can travel. Not to mention footing issues when the temps will dip below freezing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention footing issues when the temps will dip below freezing. Cold weather, to me atleast, makes playoff baseball more intense. Just something about the players wearing long sleeves, freezing their asses off. It may not be prettier baseball, but it does have that big game feel.

Guest Smues Report post Posted October 27, 2006 I still hate Mariotti, but as long as he's been on the show I've always thought Plasche was the worst regular. (If Jackie McMullan was a regular my opinion might change.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
