Slip-Slidin' Away

Last night it rained...

The game will be delayed a bit.
And rained...
On-field host Jon Eddy truly does not
have the sense to come in out of the rain.
And then for good measure it rained some more, only this time really, really hard...

Think we're going to need a bigger boat.
So, while Security Service Field at Mile High looked like a pond...

Hey! There's a wee tarp out in left field.
...the hail was so deep in the North part of the city it looked like a blizzard hit, Manitou waited on a "wall of water" to hit it and the city's weatherpeople got collective chubbies...

With his hand on his hip he's saying,
"I'm a fu*king weatherman! Kneel before my Doppler!"
...leave it to a couple of brave Sky Sox players, Lars Davis and Hernan Iribarren, to save the day by breaking out the tarp-slides!

LARS! No not the one from Metallica, DAVIS!
Lars Davis leaves the building while
Hernan Iribarren sprints onto the tarp!
Safe! And wet!

Great form! Hernan must have traveled close to 60 feet!
As you might have guessed, the game was bagged. Wet field and stuff. Doubleheader today! At least until the rain returns.

Is Iribarren doing the side-stroke?
