Rain delay musings

There’s weather in Detroit. The tarp is currently on the field, and both teams are lingering in their respective clubhouses waiting for a break in the clouds.

We’ve been delayed for 2.5 hours. It hasn’t rained for two hours. It’s now 30 minutes past the last possible start time we were given. Still no word when this game might start, or if it will be played at all.
