It was alot worse outside for Game 2, and everything seemed to work out fine.........

looking at the radar theres a line of storms in/getting to chitown right now and nothing after it for a while. there is another cell moving our direction but it too isnt very big. this game should happen.

True, but I wonder if MLB will be as patient with game 1 of 162 as they were with the World Series?

I know the other side of that debate (more on the line in the WS), but I'm just curious how long they'll wait with an off-day tomorrow (not to mention that Monday was the original date for the opener)?

My guess is it'll be played.

If today got rained out, is there any chance Tuesday becomes the home opener?  I guess they would just do it Monday night.

It never rained here where I live downtown.  Also just checked the radar and it looks as if it is all broken up and went right by downtown.  I also do not see any rain in the future.

 

That is music to my ears! I am from the north suburbs and am leaving for the game in 1 hour!

We got some rain in Bucktown, just a wee bit north o' downtown.

 

National weather service put out a statement just a few minutes ago that a wave of thunderstorms will come through the area around later afternoon.

 

Tom Skilling is saying scattered storms, some severe, throughout the afternoon and evening. Temps will hover from 50 to 65, depending on where you are in the area (50 north shore, 65 SW burbs), through the afternoon.

Even a worst-case scenario today sounds better than the 34-degree thunderstorm during Opening Day of '03.

oh man. I only wore a jersey to that game because it wasn't too bad at my house when i left.

 

I think i was sick for the entire following month.

Scott Reifert gives us some insight from Roger Bossard:

 

Weather

 

According to Roger Bossard, we will get another wave of storms/rain before the game.  After that, the radar currently is clear, but he is afraid more storms may pop up as they often do in April.  It may be a long, cold, rainy night, but does it ever really rain when you are World Champions?

 

(I did call my house and tell everyone to dress very warmly.  You should, too).

April Fools day is a curse. First the Dan Ryan closes down (HA HA, MOTHERf***ERS!), and now bad weather that threatens to ruin opening day for a team that just won the Series for teh first time in 88 years? Damn...

It would take a decade of non-stop bad weather to ruin that. ;)
