Smizik is way off base on that one. And a dude named John and myself have both already written emails to tell him so. Where the Pirates erred was NOT in playing the game. It was in DELAYING the game. There is no way in HELL that game should have been delayed and I know of at least 4 people who would totally agree with me right now.

I totally agree with you. You could barely feel that rain, it was ridiculous.

We must have said it about 20 times that night . . . if the game had started before that rain started, there is no doubt they would have played through it.
