I swapped my Sunday tickets for Saturday because the game was moved to 8:00.

The ability to exchange tickets is probably the single most important benefit if you're a SPH, IMO.

And that's why I find it frustrating that some of my partners can't figure out how to do it or just don't bother and prefer to complain instead.

I hope they don't change the 9/2 game.

You have to admit, the Access portion of the Nationals.com site is not well organized. It took me quite a while to figure out this was under "Extras." It's almost like they don't want you to use it.

Agreed. It's not that easy to use the site but I figure once you learn how to use it then you're good. These are partners who've been using this site for years and don't know know.

Especially on a Sunday for a subway usin' attendee.

Ready to head out to the game knowing chances are iffy.

Those 24 ounce beers take the edge off of a rain delay.

What's the worst that can happen? I hang out with my son and have something to eat and drink, right? If it's a complete washout we just might see the new Deadpool movie.

Tarp coming off. I decided to get cheap tix off stubhub at the delta club. Not a bad place to stay out of rain.

After all the dire forecasts it was a beautiful night.

Tonight is why I never believe the forecasts.

weather.com for the Tuesday of the ASG currently calling for high 91/low 73 with 50% chance of PM thunderstorms (up from 40% the past few days). Hoping this prediction will decrease in the coming days, both for the sake of the game and for my flight, which leaves at 17.40.

Updating on 14th July: weather.com has chance of PM thundershowers increasing slightly to 60%; temperatures essentially unchanged at high 91, low 73; Capital Weather Gang has also increased its chances of thunderstorms from 40% to 50%.

Your ASG and my flight - I'm hoping for a proper start to both.

OldChelsea · « **Reply #293 on:** July 16, 2018, 08:54:26 am »

Further update: per weather.com, 100% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow evening , with principal chance of occurrence through 19.00.

What is the weather policy for ASG? Do they bump it a day (that would really annoy a lot of players, I'd bet)? Cancel it altogether? Make it up as a double header with the Nats game Friday?

What if they only play 3 or 4 innings? Lots of ticketing questions, I would guess.

The Tuesday Forecast now is for thunderstorms till 3:00, scattered thunderstorms till 7, and clouds the rest of the night. They should be fine by game time.

I think that's a Slate "meme" (misspelling names) when castin' aspersions on a person he has issues with in the sport's world .... same with RGIII and others.

BTW That's just my observation. It's not based on any first had knowledge so I felt I could post it.
