If I didn’t know better, I’d think Major League Baseball and the commissioner’s office had something against the Cubs.
That’s a provocative statement, to be sure, but I make it because the way the constant rain in Washington this weekend was handled by MLB couldn’t have been worse from the Cubs’ standpoint.
The constant rain in the D.C. area from Friday through Sunday wreaked havoc with the three scheduled games. Obviously, no one has any control over the weather. But they certainly could have handled it better. Friday’s game should never have been started; it was pretty clear to anyone with a smartphone and a weather app that the “window” for playing was less than an hour.
