Postponed?

[sfphillyfan]

I've never heard of a game postponed 10 hours ahead.

Snow?

[Leonard Tose]

17 degrees and 5 inches of snow on Coors Field, I'd say it's warranted

5 inches? I heard it was a dusting.


I'd love to see a game in 5 inches of snow though.

2 day games in Philly,but let's play at night at 5000'. The powers that be are douchebags.

From what I can tell, it was a move due to temperature and not snow.-----

" A cold front moved into Denver overnight, dropping temperatures into the teens with record lows for the date. Coors Field was covered with a thin layer of snow and ice Saturday morning and flurries were expected to continue through the night.
The National Weather Service said the cold front packed more punch than expected and easily broke the record low for the date of 25 degrees set in 1905.
“It’s not going to get as warm as we thought. It got much colder than we anticipated,” meteorologist Eric Thaler said. “We crushed the record: 17 today, 7:22 this morning. Up in the foothills it’s even colder.”
Thaler said the updated forecast called for temperatures in the mid-20s at game time, which would have been the coldest, by far, for any postseason game."

but we can't play a Super Bowl outdoors in cold weather

What a blessing this is giving Lee an extra days rest for game #4.I guess it's Pedro going on Sunday night at 10pm with Hamels in game #5 if it goes five.This bails out Cholly IMO for what I consider a major screwup using Blanton & Happ in game #2.We'll see how it shakes out.

[andrewaters]

guys it is MISERABLE in the midwest today. wind chill never got above 30 here in k.c. and they have snow on the ground all around us just not here.

WTH happened to fall. although it did make for great college football weather.

[MDFAN]

Actaully I think it's Happ Sunday!

[NoDakIggle]

Playing tonight would have been brutal. This is an early storm for them and somewhat unusual but they are still in the div series. By World Series time it could be brutal in Philly. And the dumbass Twins are building an outdoor stadium for next year. Imagine what that is going to be like on Nov 1.

[j-bird]

Just reading that it will be Happ on Sunday night which is great & Happ says the knee is a non-issue.Supposed to be @ 50 when the game starts getting down into the 30's later on in the evening.Not the greatest conditions but with this bullpen "situation" I'd have to say that Mother Nature is a Phils fan.
BTW NoDak,was reading about the new Twins Target Field being an outdoor stadium with no retactable roof & I agree,that's frickin crazy.Good luck bringing in FA's to Minnesota.Makes no sense to me.

Selig, for once, made the right decision. I would give him a , but then I would have to throw myself under a steam roller.

Even without snow, baseball in 20 degree weather would be a farce, showing contempt for the skilled athletes that play the game and the Colorado fans who have paid good money to attend a playoff game.

The postponement also certainly appears to benefit the Phillies. So we got that goin' for us...which is nice!

[NoDakIggle]

You know, they want to play outdoors; and I am with them on that, but put a retractable roof on. Unfortunately it costs too much. However, I am here to tell you that all those SOBs are going to want a roof when it is 30 degrees or 40 degrees with rain in the spring. Dollars up front will bring dollars later on.

[12dickau4pres]

We could literally have every team advance before the Phils start Game 3.

I hate Colorado

[NoDakIggle]

Agree 12. But I also have to say that MLB didn't do **** for the World Champions as far as scheduling goes.
