Confession: I'm really scared that Dyson's comments are gonna come back and bite us. Normally I love talk like that this time I am terrified. I am also a huge pussy.

Those comments will have nothing to do with the outcome of the series, good or bad.

Not many of you know this, but in my spare time I'm an amateur meteorologist who does a lot of data analysis for the weather channel. If you have questions on what tonight may bring, feel free to ask me anything.

Baseball isn't a game that can be fueled by words imo. If pitching is good and defense is good, you're not going to score runs. The Royals have both. If anything guys would be overhyped and swing at crap imo.

I'm hoping for a rain called game with a Royals win to fuel Baltimore's butthurt.

Will the weather allow for a playoff baseball game in Kauffman Stadium to be played in its entirety ?

No. My data shows that there is a 100% chance of rain from 7 pm until 2 am.

NEXT!

One of the wettest Octobers in KC history continues. The rain is increasing and wind is in the way. There very little chance of the game!

Canary · « **Reply #27361 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:26:43 PM »

Eff. If the game gets played tonight, I'll be at the game tomorrow. Come on Halle Berry!

Looks like Mother Nature is the only one who can dampen the Royals hot streak!! (<--- has anyone else said this joke yet?)

Pete · « **Reply #27363 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:30:46 PM »

What the eff am I supposed to do tonight if there is no game?

ChiComCat · « **Reply #27364 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:31:47 PM »

I am hoping tickets get cheaper tomorrow if the game gets moved - I would consider flying out for a night to go.

mocat · « **Reply #27365 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:33:13 PM »

with this rainout thing, i just don't know what to expect. i need someone to get in here and lay out our potential starters

AppleJack · « **Reply #27366 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:34:23 PM »

Royals were -1.5 yesterday and now we're +1.5 for the game tonight.

The 3rd most popular bet on my sportsbook is the O's winning the series

Total Game odds:
4 Games +220
5 Games +250
6 Games +260
7 Games +260

I hate these numbers. I AM FREAKING OUT MAN.

I am also a huge pussy.

ben ji · « **Reply #27367 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:36:37 PM »

So when do they officially call the game? Do I have to drive out to the stadium and wait in the parking lot just to be sure?! I've never done playoff baseball before and I'm confused

ben ji · « **Reply #27368 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:37:27 PM »

Like, we all know this game isn't gonna happen due to the rain. Right?

But when will I know for sure?

ben ji · « **Reply #27369 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:38:15 PM »

Does David Glass and Buddy Selig just expect me to wait in my car for a bagillion hours until they make up their mind??!?

There will never be a rain-shortened playoff game, my goodness.

hey ben ji, you know that boat you're in? i'm in the same one.

ben ji · « **Reply #27372 on:** October 13, 2014, 01:39:57 PM »

Is there a 1-800 number I can call to see if the game has been rained out? Back when I played at 3&2 they had a 1-800 you could call and it would play a recording saying games were on or off. It seems like maybe MLB could do something like that?

Good thing its a boat because WE ARE GETTING LOTS OF RAIN!

But seriously, do I just go pound some beers inside a car at Kaufmann stadium until they make up their mind?!?

It won't #$%&ing stop raining.

I've had a lot of landscape projects I've wanted to get done this fall that I haven't even been able to touch because every freaking time I have a chance, it's rained.

So, based on my luck, and the fact that I sit next to a window and have checked, periodically, every ten minutes for the last five hours, we're not seeing an end to this nonsense.
