I would’ve preferred seeing Eaton, Soto and Robles since it’s our most likely outfield next year.

Is the tarp on the field?

FP says that when a team is going into another park for the last time in the season that’s when MLB takes control of the start time when it’s raining.

He is also still talking about "you gotta knock out the champ" This team has been knocked out on the canvas for two months

We got Robles, we got Doo, we got this game.

Looking to the west Bob? It’s cloudy, cool and overcast with no rain here.

Back to Flip or Flop.

  my grass cutting crew is here (ole!)  so why is the tarp still out?

[DCFan]

Christina is hot. There I said it. On to the next episode of Flip or Flop.

Because this organization is amauterville

They’re cutting the grass when it’s wet? Talk about amateurs.

Wet? This is the land of milk and honey out here in western Fairfax. Besides my guys know how to endure little hardships. They can ford rivers, climb hills, and can do so with very little. For them they can sing Ole! because they are the real deal.

The closest red line station, yikes. Probably Union Station? Seems like a long walk. We've taken the Circulator bus there before and after a game, but that's worse than walking to Cap South and transferring at Metro Center.

Might try walkng it some day when the weather's nice and it's not dark.

Edit: 35 minutes according to Google Maps. Cap South is 18, so it's about the same distance again.

I walked from Union Station to one of the hotels by the stadium last month for the M&G.  Not too bad of a hike.  Would've been better if it wasn't mid-90s, humid, not a cloud in the sky, no breeze and I wasn't lugging a suitcase.

Hampton Inn. Right across the street from the park.

It’s raining again here and based on the forecast I just heard on wtop it doesn’t sound like we’ll be seeing baseball this weekend.

[spidernat]

just cancel the rest of this season already!

[spidernat]

forfeit the rest of the games and end the season with 69 wins!

[spidernat]

the cubs wanted to play because they need wins and they know this team will roll over once they already stated they didn't want to play since they have nothing left to play for anyway

[Slateman]

Yet another reason the park needs a roof

[Slateman]

forfeit the rest of the games and end the season with 69 wins!

Nice
