2nd verse, same as the first...

Once again, it was a rainout on City Island. After what seemed like a promising afternoon, the skies opened up putting Tuesday evening's game on hold. The only difference today was that we actually made to the ballpark. It was the first appearance of the season for the old rainsuit, probably not the last. It was a good turnout for the crew, though, withmyself, Alan, Doug, Izzy, Ryan, and Frank. It was Frank's first appearance this year for a game. He'd been tied up with long hours at work and has been a little under the weather lately. It was good to have the whole gang there together, even in the rain. We passed the time until a decision was made about the game, by continuously analyzing the radar and generally busting each others balls. When the actual gametime came and went, we, naturally, switched on the Pens-Flyers game and busted each others balls about that ,too. We did have a good time with one of Akron's bullpen guys who joined us in the weather analysis. We got into to an extended discussion about weather "windows", and that became the catch phrase for the evening. We had some musical entertainment in the form of the Middletown High School marching band. They had come to play the National Anthem, but ended up playing stand music and watching it rain. They finally called the game around 7:30, and we cleared out shortly thereafter. We're playing a double-header tomorrow with a 10:30 start. That should be interesting. i have the day off from work, sodoes Alan, Doug and Izzy, so we should be well staffed. Hopefully we can get both games in before the forecasted afternoon showers. Other than that, nothing else new or interesting. More tomorrow.
