The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals are currently in a rain delay. They have not yet officially postponed the game, but I could almost promise you that the game will not be continued. There are storms in the Gateway City, along with some tornadic activity, so there is no way this game will be picked up today. I actually have no idea why this game was even started. But, the Reds were off to a good start it looked like. Drew Stubbs reached, and stole 2nd, then the count was 1-1 on Brandon Phillips, and that's when they decided to delay the game.
Now there is talk for some reason that the Cardinals manager, Tony LaRussa, had something to do with this. They say he changed the radar, and messed up Marty Brennaman's radio phone lines, which is bogus. I am not sure what all this means, but on 700 WLW they say that Tony LaRussa had something to do with this. If he messed up the radar, to where he would keep fans at the game, and there is dangerous storms, then he could face criminal charges. But who knows, I dunno what's going on really. If you have been listening to WLW, please leave a comment on this article and tell me what's going on.

I HATE THE CARDINALS
ReplyDeleteWhy is this still posted? The home team controls the start of the game. Once the game begins the umpires control delays and postponements. LaRussa saw that a storm would probably hit the stadium around the time the game was to begin. He told the Reds he was going to start a relief pitcher in place of the schedule starter. After the delay he brought in the starter while the reds brought in a relief pitcher. LaRussa did nothing wrong and if the Reds were on the ball they could of and should of done the same thing.
ReplyDeleteBoth teams have access to real time radar.
