Quite the downpour in ATL last night. After about two and a half hours of steady rain, they called it. Since this was Chicago’s last visit to Atlanta this season, you know they wanted to get this one in, but it was not to be. They’ve scheduled the makeup for August 30, the next off day that the teams have in common. That will give the Cubs a stretch of 23 games without a day off, and no I don’t feel sorry for them.
Things I learned during the Sports South rain delay programming:
Freddie Freeman is a serious student of hitting, and has quite the engaging personality.
