Rain, rain go away

It's 75 minutes before the scheduled start of Game 2 and the tarp is on and rain is falling at GCS Ballpark in Sauget, Ill. The Wild Things' batting practice was cut short when dark clouds rolled in and rain began falling. Word is that every effort will be made to play tonight in order to keep a travel day between Games 2 and 3.

When play does start, Gateway will do so without shortstop Ryan Saltzgaber, who suffred a shoulder separation when Chris Sidick slid into him to break up a potential double play during the ninth inning of Game 1. Saltzgaber is out for the season.

Joshua, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. If you go up on a baseball blog, talk about baseball, and not about meaningless theories.

P.S. Anyway Chris, What is your opinion about Gateway's ballpark playing a big factor? It's very easy to hit a home run. It's interesting to see how the Wild Things go about it.

So far, the park hasn't given either team an advantage. Gateway had the home run that cleared the right-field wall by five feet in Game 1, but Washington has hit three doubles off the left-field wall in two games. All four of those balls would have been caught in Consol Energy Park.
