Friday night’s Cubs/Nationals game started over an hour late due to rain, and they played one inning and part of a second and then it poured again.
Nearly three hours after that, the game was finally postponed:
You know, I’ve written about rain delays at Wrigley Field that I thought were poorly handled, but this one was about the worst I’ve ever seen, and I wasn’t even sitting in it. This game should never have been started; the “window” to play lasted less than an hour. I don’t know what Nationals management or MLB — the latter supposedly in charge of this game since it’s the last series between the teams this year — were thinking in trying to get this game in.
