    Don't blame them. Ratings on a Tuesday afternoon would not be good.

    Although 5pm would not be great either. I assume that was only the time because of a potential dodger game later...

    In the regular season its the home team not the umps that decide if they play or not. Then once the first pitch is thrown its all up to the umps as far as delays go.

    Not sure if its different for the playoffs.

    Cubs obviously would want to play today, but they would be better off not playing at all than playing a couple innings. Unless they are banking on putting up a bunch of runs early vs Roark.

    Executives and managers for both teams in a meeting in the nationals clubhouse right now.

    Expect a ppd announcment shortly...and probably a similar start time tomorrow with the Yankees and Indians playing prime time.

    Cubs benefited from the weather last year.

    Blew lead vs Indians, rain delay allowed them to regain composure.

    Seems like forecast has changed. Earlier in the day it looked like rain all night. Storm may be moving faster than expected.

    Or they want a bs delay before the ppd to sell more beer and hot dogs.

    From Rotowire...


    Washington Nationals at Chicago Cubs
    5:38 PM ET

    Likely To Be Delayed Or Rained Out
    According to Forecast.io, it's expected to be 62° F and with a 75% chance of rain and 16 MPH wind blowing in in Chicago at 5:38 PM ET.

    Hourly Forecasts: Weather.com Forecast.io
    Rain showers will likely delay, and possibly postpone, Tuesday night's NLDS matchup at Wrigley Field. If the game is played, strong and gusty winds will blow in from center field throughout the game.

    SBNATION
    Of course, the game can’t be called in the middle no matter what, as Bud Selig decided back in 2008. So if the teams decide they’re starting this shindig tonight no matter what, it can’t end at only six or seven innings — they’ll have to wait the rain out or play the leftover innings on Wednesday. Which isn’t ideal.

    So ridiculous. It's obvious that once the rain hits it will be basically continuous all night. What's the point of delaying. I would heavy chalk they never start this game today. Sucks.

    i would bet the opposite. did you see the radar. the storm has come and gone in peoria in about 3 hours...........it will hit chicago in an hour and then be gone at 8:45eastern

    perfect time to get the game going. no rain after that either. guaranteed they play tonight
