WASHINGTON - While attempting to fit in their Saturday doubleheader between raindrops, the Chicago Cubs are still wondering why their game against the Washington Nationals wasn't played on Friday night.
"If you want the true story, contact MLB," manager Joe Maddon said Saturday. "It was confusing to us, also. We played when we should not have and then not played when we should have."
The teams waited out a 1:21 delay to begin the game on Friday only to play 1.2 innings before the rains came again. This time, they stuck around for almost three more hours forcing a cancellation but curiously only after the rain ceased at about 11:30 p.
