I am the weather demon. If I’m doing the recap for a certain day (that is, one that I’ve initially slotted myself for), it’s gonna get postponed. It’s now officially a rule. I’m 3-for-3 already and we’re only thirteen games in. And for that, I am sorry. It is not a power I want; I was unknowingly chosen by the weathergods to bear this. But it is something that we must all prepare for. I am a big boy, I can take whatever vitriol you throw at me. I deserve it. I expect it. It is my curse.

No word yet as to when today’s game will be made up. Jordan Bastian mentioned a series in mid-July (18-20) or mid-September (12-14) as possible make-up date windows.

And since today was Jackie Robinson Day, it will be observed tomorrow.

Oh, and Michael Bourn is back and Nyjer Morgan got sent down. Not quite sure what sorcery was used to keep Elliot Johnson up on the Big Boy Club, but he’s a crafty witch.

    Wins in April count just as much as wins in September… Why oh why did they send Nyjer Morgan down!

    You’re the Corey Kluber of baseball bloggers.

  • The Doctor says:

    ugh. it’ll take bourn 30 games to walk as many times as morgan did in 9. as i mentioned in the tribe tidbits post, i think this would be an ideal time to call the mets about bourn, given their OF injury woes.

      I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t even ask for much just to get that contract off the books. The Mets are not (or at least were not overall lately) a good baseball organization, but I can’t see even them biting on this.

  • Jeremy says:

    Chris, that’s a tough burden to bear. However, we once had the Human Rain Delay in an Indians uniform, so it just makes sense that we would have the Blogger PPD on our side as well.

  • D.P. Roberts says:

    25% of MLB games were postponed today. That seems like a lot.

    And shouldn’t we assume that Eliot Johnson will get sent down when Giambi gets activated this weekend? If so, he & Morgan are only separated by a few games. If not, does Blake Wood get the boot, or what?

  • Ghost of Joel Skinner says:

    The Bourn contract is awful, just…awful.

    Guess we can all go back to watching a strikeout to start every single game.

  • Weston says:

    Ugh. Hindsight is 20/20, but wouldn’t we all just love to have Nyjer Morgan on the cheap , and Bourn’s money spent on Kazmir?
