Damn rain delays. Dbacks best pitcher will likely not be able to return after long delay.
I know Florida is getting a new stadium, but MLB really screwed the pooch by not requiring expansion team to have signed deal for covered stadium back when they got the franchise in the early 90's.

Agreed. And they should only build the stadium to seat about 15,000.

There are people that maintain that real football can only be played outdoors.
I wonder if those same people hold similar thoughts about baseball.

That there are.
Florida needs what they are finally getting - an umbrella type structure for the frequent rains.
