weather in Chicago is really cruddy today, so an understandable
call. But, as a bonus, it gives the Wrigley folks another day to
try to deal with the bathroom issues.

That's a nice benefit, but I'd still rather have been able to
watch a game yesterday.

Now I can focus on the B'Hawks and the Warriors.

That is a rather foolish statement. Castro's contract is an
excellent one, and would be considered an extremely valuable
asset in a trade.

the five worst defensive outfielders in baseball he catches it
easily, compared to the full on sprint Starlin would have had to
make on a ball over his head in left field just to get a diving
chance at it that probably would have crippled him and Coughlan.

Agree. If Baez occupies 2B and Bryant occupies 3B, then I think
Castro will need to be traded, but neither of those conditions
is certain at this point.

Is it due to rain? or due to the bad press from the bathroom
lines and the need to bring in a crap ton of Portable bathroom
stations?

It's due to weather. They said it was going to be raining with
sub-freezing wind chills.
Because of the rain out, they have re-ordered the rotation.
Arrieta will go tomorrow, but Wood will still pitch Friday in
Colorado, followed by Hammel on Saturday and Hendricks on
Sunday.

I would have preferred not to have Arrieta pitch in Chicago this
early, but I suppose Denver weather isn't much better.

Denver is going to be in the 70's this weekend, but Arrieta is
pitching tomorrow if the game gets played. Bring on all the
rainouts until Bryant gets called up.
