We need some more breaks from the umps in this one too.

[gscottar]

We got just as many bad calls as the Cubs did last night. The umps didn’t lose the game for them despite what their “entitled and spoiled” fans think. :o)

Here is tonight's #Cubs starting lineup.

We could really use Jack on his A game tonight. I’m thinking 7+ innings, a few scattered hits and 10+ Ks. If anyone on this staff can do it, it’s Mr Flaherty. But the bats have to give him some support as well.

[Brian Walton]

Baez scratched with a recurring heel injury. Russell starting instead.

New lineup: Schwarber, Bryant, Rizzo, Contreras, Heyward, Russell SS, Bote, Almora Jr. , Quintana

[Brian Walton]

Three solo homers and the Cubs are up 2-1 after two innings. Rizzo, Goldschmidt, Heyward.

[David]

We’re tied, Jack needs to keep the ball in the park

[David]

Quick 1-2-3. Good pitching, now let’s take the lead,

[David]

I foresee a big inning this game but it may come later against the bullpen.

[Brian Walton]

Hopefully the rain stays away…

[David]

I think in a perfect world, the rain delay last just until the Blues game is over.

[PugsleyAddams]

Dave….Brian….stlcard25….good evening gentlemen. Anyone know if we’ll be playing any ball this evening? As our esteemed new friend, Dave, eluded to, if ever there might be a lengthy rain delay, tonight would be the night. Blues winning?

[PugsleyAddams]

Geeesh…..this place is dead. Looks like this baby is washed out.

[Ratsbuddy]

Yahoo/MLB says game will start again at 11:00 St. Louis time, or thereabouts.

[PugsleyAddams]

11pm? Brian and about 50 other hardy souls may be the only ones in attendance. What a beautiful opportunity to snag a foul ball….which brings up a slight issue. By next year when the netting will be extended to the foul poles, that’s going to result in almost zero foul ball opportunities. MLB should save themselves some nice $……like they need it.

Watching a lot of “Cannon” tonight, Rat?

[Euro Dandy]

Slight change of plans. Weather permitting, we expect to resume tonight's game at 11:20 pm CT. https://t.co/mFQjBcOKmu

Sweet! Looks like its just me, Euro and Rat. Our new friend Dave must be counting sheep…..rookies!

[Euro Dandy]

Gyorko fouls out to get us back to action, pinch hitting for Flaherty to lead off the 5th for the Cards.

[gscottar]

My local Fox affiliate is not showing the game now that it has resumed. What channel are you guys watching on?

[Euro Dandy]

Wieters puts the Cards up 3-2 with double, driving in Ozuna who had singled. Chatwood in for the cubs.

[David]

I’m streaming the game on reddit

[David]

Nothing like a 3 hour rain delay to get our offense going.

[Euro Dandy]

I’m watching on my MLB Extra Innings package.

Fowler singles to drive in Wieters, now 4-2.

[Euro Dandy]

Dave is on to something about the delay. Wong doubles to drive in Fowler, now 5-2. Cards feasting on Chatwood.
