Based upon the Doppler Radar it’s hard to say when this one will resume. Or even if it will resume.
And the Reds down the Cubs tonight. 4-0 Cincinnati your final at Riverfront Stadium.
I guess I will tune in to the DBacks and the Doyers from Doyer Stadium here momentarily.
And as I suspected might happen the game is in a rain delay.
The big pile of green stuff moved southeast instead of east.
Milwaukee and Pittsburgh also rained out tonight at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Reds lead the Cubs 1-0 at the 7th inning stretch. Elly May Clampett a dong for Cincinnati.
Taking a gander at the meteorological conditions for tonight.
All appears clear according to the Doppler Radar about two hours before first pitch. There is a big pile of storms/rain just northwest of St. Louis but I can’t tell if it’s going to just move east and miss downtown St. Louis or perhaps move southeast. If it moves SE it could impact the game.
And of course this is another STUPID AppleTV game so I will be forced into watching the Cubs and Reds from Riverfront Stadium tonight.
And din-din today was indeed Catfish Fiddlers out at the Amish restaurant north of town on the lake.

My din-din today almost got out of control.
I was about to grill a ribeye on the porch and squirted some gas on the coals so they would burn some more and get plenty hot. The gas shot back towards my little mustard bottle that I use to squirt gas on the coals. Next thing I knew I dropped it out of my hand and there were little bits of fire on the porch. And the mustard thing was burning about a foot high. I kicked it off the porch and then ran around the side of the house and turned the hose on. Disaster averted. Steak sure was good too..:)
And there are some scattered storms and rain in the St. Louis area as I type this. The guy on the Weather Channel said St. Louis and southern Illinois may very well see some storms tonight.
We will be lucky this one gets played tonight. I already consider myself lucky once today.

Checking the weather situation about an hour before first pitch.
All seems to be clear in the greater St. Louis area. There are some scattered showers and storms just south and east of the St. Louis area but they should not be a hindrance. They are, however, starting to hit us here in SW Indiana. Tonights game should not be impacted.
And din-din today was the weekly trip to the Gasthof, the Amish restaurant.

Brewers up 8-2 now in the 7th inning.
This one is history.
At least tomorrow (Wednesday) is the Gasthof, the Amish restaurant, for din-din.
3-2 in the bottom of the 6th inning now.
Cubs up in Baltimore 3-0.
Reds trail at home to Philadelphia. 3-1 Phils in the 8th and they have the bases loaded and one out. Schwarber his 31st in this one.
3-0 Milwaukee now.
This five game series against the Brewers is going to be the doomsday point of the 2026 season.
Still all clear weather wise. Some scattered showers in southern Missouri and southern Illinois but the greater metro St. Louis area appears to be dry as 007’s martini.
Currently the Doppler Radar shows all clear in the midwest. I expect this game will be played with no problems. But, as I’ve said twice before, when it gets hot and humid during the summer those little popup thunderstorms can occur in a moments notice. We had them on both Saturday and Sunday.

TV or not, this one looks to be clear of any atmospheric difficulties. Should have no problem getting this one in today.
And since EVERY game today is on Peacock I will not be able to view any of them. Might have to throw in an episode of Barnaby Jones this afternoon.
And din-din on this fine Sunday will once again be a ribeye steak on the grill, a few jumbo crinkle cut french fries, an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew, a piece of apple pie and a bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream.

Game is now underway.
And the other weatherman, Weatherholt, leads off with a big dong.
1-0 in the top of the 1st.
As I type this according to the Doppler Radar it looks like Chicago is getting pounded by rain. And according to the Doppler it appears to be a slow moving cell as well.
This one might be postponed altogether. Stay tuned……
That line of storms has intensified and is now zeroing in on Chicago. Probably within the next couple of hours the Windy City will be hit by alot of wet stuff.
The only hope is the tarp is on the field and this cell moves out fairly quickly. We may very well see a delay in this one.
There is a line of storms/rain about 100 miles west of Chicago as I type this. Probably near the Rockford area. Too early to tell if the high pressure system in the upper midwest will negate any meteorological impact this system might have on tonight’s contest. Which, of course, is seven hours away as I type this.
And din-din today will be a Hungry Man’s Fried Chicken TV dinner, an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew, a piece of apple pie, and some Turkey Hill Homemade Vanilla ice cream.

Astute observation LACardFan!
The Doppler shows alot of green stuff in the Chicago area. Not sure if it will eventually clear out in time to get this one in at some point in time today.
Stay tuned……
Taking a gander at the weather conditions today.
First, here in SW Indiana as I type this we are having one of those popup thunderstorms that can happen when it gets hot and humid. It’s been low 90s this week and very humid.
And from a Wrigley standpoint there is a line of storms/rain just west of Chicago as I am typing this. Of course first pitch is 2 and 1/2 hours away yet so not sure that will impact the game or not. Stay tuned for further meteorological updates.
Din-din will be a ribeye steak on the grill today. I am sure Whitey Herdog will get a few bites.

And a quick looksee at the only game being played this afternoon.
The Reds and the Brewers from Miller Park in Milwaukee. A highly anticipated pitching matchup between Frank Burns from the Reds and Jacob Mazeroski from the Brewers.
And thanks to an error by Brewers 1B Bauers the Reds are currently out in front 6-2 in the 7th. Mazeroski gave up five runs in five innings but only one has been earned.
And I just got done mowing the yard. It’s about 93 and sunny here today. I am hoping there won’t be any effects such as heat exhaustion.
Time for din-din……
Taking a gander at the meteorological conditions tonight in central Georgia. All appears to be clear but, as I said yesterday, when it’s this hot and humid those popup thunderstorms can occur in just a matter of minutes.
Its about 93 here today in SW Indiana. I am about to jump on the John Deere and mow. Then grab din-din which will be a Hungry Man’s Fried Chicken dinner, an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew, a piece of Apple Pie, and a bowl of Turkey Hill Homemade Vanilla ice cream.
Me and Whitey Herdog will be on the couch later tonight for this one. Then late tonight we’ll be tuning in to the Padres and Doyers from Doyer Stadium. Along with a couple of 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigars.
