[varoadking]

Is that VaRK standing at 2nd base?

VaRK is heading to the parking garage...southbound and down...

[Natsinpwc]

Nah, we have a variety of stuff on 22, 26 and 32.

Looks like it has been on before but first I have seen it. I am sure it will be on again there.

Gotta get home before 10?

I can't remember a single year we had back-to-back rainouts twice in one season.  Could be a mindfact but freak it, I'm saying history is on our side.

That's not good.  I'm a Rams fan and if this game doesn't start in 30 minutes, I'm gonna have to watch the Rams play.  The freaking Rams.  Come on nature... do me a solid here.

Drinking this stuff. Gosh it's really tangy but I like it. With the game starting late I may have to switch to Diet Coke or iced coffee.

They suspend operations/training if lightening is within 5 miles

These are all places where I am apparently not allowed.

Back in the day, they jumped into lightning storms waitin' for the Marines to arrive.

The bad thing about this delay is there is absolutely nothin' on anywhere else "on the dial".

Watching LLWS qualifying

[bluestreak]

Highly unsubstantiated rumor of 9:45 start. I would give this a low degree of certainty given I heard it from the bartender. My news is usually better sourced.

Refresh. For whatever reason, Twitter initally blocks links but then allows on the refresh.

Literally never happened. Airborne was too busy pretending Europe was a hard battle

@Nationals

We are preparing the field for play.  We will advise you of a start time as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

Watching the Phils and Mets. Wall of Fame night for the Phillies. Paid tribute to three who died this year. Dallas Green, Jim Bunning and Dutch Daulton. I admit I teared up. Good to see some of the old dudes. Gary Maddux who is a Vietnam vet teared up during the national anthem. Most of the others have gained weight but he still looks like he could play CF.

Kruk and Mike Schmidt doing color.  They are terrible. Makes me long for FP.

[NatsAllThe Way]

So... triple header tomorrow?

It's a ruse to get people to buy more food and drink. They will cancel soon.

Think Kruk could play center field?

he could barely make it out onto the stage.  He is a funny guy but doing color commentary doesn't seem his thing.  Eating does.
