That's three more than me. Ten games scheduled, ten games cancelled.

We have started our Travel games down here. I worked yesterday and we are talking about 45 or so degrees. The only games cancelled were today because of the rain. Other than that it has been baseball weather.

I don't have a game tomorrow so I am going to get in a round of golf in the afternoon. Temp is supposed to be in low 70's. We actually had a light dusting on Friday night, first time I ever remember in April. It was measured at 0.13" at the airport and it was all gone by 10 am. But it was back to low 60's by Monday.

I'm cancelled tommorow due to snow. Saves me a 2 hour drive at least. Hoping to worh a DH on Monday when it may hit 50 degrees.

I am working in Sacramento this week and right now Madison is getting hit with snow. 6-ish inches.

I worked 5 games between 3/24 and 4/1.

Last week I lost Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday due to COLD WEATHER.

I have college DH scheduled Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Looks like THESE are now in jeopardy.

AAARGH!

Join the club, Rich.

I have games scheduled almost every day in April, with only Thursdays off so I can do observations/evaluations. I lost games today, this past weekend, and several days last week. Tomorrow's going to be very doubtful with the snow and rain we got today. 2.5" of snow around the western burbs, then another inch or more of hard rain on top of that.

Everything's either under snow or water--or both.

3/4 of the country is in a deep freeze, with April temperatures in many places colder than have ever registered since records began being kept in the 1800s. So much for the BS that is "Global Warming."

Had my first weather-related cancellation of the season today. Lost 1 game of a varsity DH to rain. Not bad considering the season started on President's
Day. :p

Ump,

I would post to give you an honest explaination, but it would get deleted, because it is scientific and factual and not related to baseball but weather.

UMP25 Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:39pm

You can always PM me, but if it's more of the same BS disguised as "Global Warming," you'd be wasting bandwidth.

I understand. Facts are such a nusiance when one has his mind made up.

UMP25 Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:20pm

Trying to pass off untruthful claims as "facts" is always a nuisance to those of us who have common sense on our side.

Got about that a little north of you Rich.

Did you see the D3 game on Monday when they had a snow delay of 45 minutes? Players had to shovel and sweep the infield to resume.
