Can we get a rain dance up in this piece?

as long as rains lightly..... we dont want the game to be cancelled... or do we?...

When is the rain date? Wednesday?

I'd prefer that.

A cancellation gives Schilling another day of rest... as well as Rivera.

Let's play this damn thing.

Agreed. Get Schilling in there circa: now!

Worst case scenario:
They play a few innings and it gets canceled in the 4th, and we lose Schilling.

Best case scenario:

A big rock falls on Sheffield, Matsui and Riviera.

"Game 4 ended a little after 1:30 a.m. Fifteen hours later, I was sitting in my same seats in section 116 with my father, glancing around and wondering if we ever actually left. Apparently we did."

"I ended up at the Baseball Tavern, just hoping I would run into somebody I knew. Wouldn't you know -- I wasn't there for 10 seconds before seeing my old college buddy Strollin' Jim Nolan walking towards the entrance. It was that kind of night. We ended up sucking down four Miller Lites in about 10 minutes, shaking our heads and using the same words over and over again("incredible," "unbelievable," "incredible," "unbelievable," "incredible," "unbelievable"). Basically, that game turned us into the Hilton sisters. Then Pedro's favorite little person showed up -- Nelson De La Rosa, the 30-inch Dominican -- wearing a mini-Red Sox jersey and a cap. People cheered and lined up to take Polaroids with him. Somehow this all made sense."
