I heard that Rick Porcello keeps lighting a candle (praying for rain) and the rain keeps putting it out. Ironic!
Apparently Heather Nabozny, Head Grounds Keeper was injured and had to be helped off the field. Hope she's oK. Winds are ripping threw/through/thru/throo here now.
Wow. It got pretty intense here for a moment. So, doing the sensible thing and ran out back and checked out the storm. The winds were wicked and the clouds were low and black and then the lightning started slashing all around me, so I ran like hell and a sissy back into the house. The end.
