Let's go pretty blue birdies!

“Curtis Granderson and his HoF bound cleats” I think that’s a stretch to assume he’s a lock.

Just the cleats.

he was just referencing that Grandy's cleats from Jackie Robinson day were going to be going to the HOF.

His cleats are a lock

This series will be easy to win.

Unless Granderson has another 10 WAR left in him, he really doesn't belong in the HoF conversation.

How bad of shape is the dome in? Sounds like this one might be in jeopardy?

[TBJ12]

Ice is falling from CN Tower apparently. Hopefully it melts real quick and we get to see a ball game tonight.

 

Edit: Sound like the ice has damaged roof of RC.

[Grant77]

"The earliest in the season the roof has been open occurred on April 16, 2002, when Toronto played the Boston Red Sox. The game-time temperature was 27C."

That has to be up there on the list of craziest reasons a baseball game has ever been cancelled...

The weather is so f***ed this year. I can't believe this s***. I have seen heavy rain, hail, freezing rain, and snow all in the same day.

That's about every other day in Alberta this spring.

 

Calgary is getting 20 cm of snow today

[Effit]

I’m convinced that we won’t be seeing another Jays game until May. This is nuts.

[Smokinitup420]

Damn I understand safety concerns and all but I'm going through some serious jays withdrawal

[G-Snarls]

Love the early GDT

 

Dying for baseball

[Abomination]

I wonder when the last time was that a game got postponed in a dome? Sounds like this one is in real jeopardy. All these postponements really suck

G12 protests I think

[Terminator]

What's the weather like now? Any updates on if this is going to get played?

[Jonn]

I wonder if the roof got damaged badly enough that they had to play Baseball elsewhere for an extended period of time where they would play. Would they go play in Montreal despite the horrendous turf or would they play neutral sight games. I guess they can't because the weather is just as bad in New York and Detroit.

I would imagine if the roof is actually damaged it would be nearly impossible for them to fix it right now. Its raining in Toronto and the conditions are extremely icy. We are going to get an update any time now.

Just slide some plywood over that bad boy and let's play some ball !

couldn't they try covering it up with a piece of wood or something from the inside? To me the main concern is the chunks of ice falling from the sky. Hopefully everything is cleared up for tomorrow seeing as I got tickets xD

[Terminator]

If the ice stops falling they could play. Just close the entrance where the ice fell (just in case) and make all the fans enter on the other side of the building. There's got to be something they could do from inside the stadium to help fix that hole, or at least something to prevent the water from falling on to the field. Looks like it might stop raining around game time anyway. I bet they play.

I actually sent the picture to my Dad who does repairs to buildings. He said the issue really isn't covering the hole its being able to access the roof safely. They wouldn't assign anyone to do that job in these conditions. Especially if its currently raining. But yes they could easily plug that hole quickly. And than repair it when the Jays leave town.

[Jonn]

 

This guy doesn't realise how lucky he is to be alive right now.

[Effit]

Damnit CN Tower, keep your ice to yourself.

[Dr. Dinger]

 

Jesus Christ, that's a huge hole. Definitely getting cancelled. FML.
