CHICAGO -- It was too cold and too wet at Wrigley Field to play on Sunday, so the game between the Cubs and Braves was postponed. They will play a makeup game May 14 at 1:20 p.m. CT at Wrigley, which was an off-day prior to the Cubs' three-game series in Atlanta.
"Driving out again, it was remarkably bad," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the weather. "It's just the right thing to do. It's not about getting games in -- you want to be able to play the game at a Major League-, championship-caliber level.
"[Saturday's] game, we were fortunate it was played in its entirety, because that's how we won that game -- based on how badly the conditions were by the end," Maddon added.
