    Do people still tailgate before the game in the rain?
    Just wondering cause I haven't been to any games yet where it rained?

    As long as I don't get any water in my beer I'm a happy dude. Although damp pyrotechnics tend to suck.....

    There's always Captain Morgan to keep you warm in the rain.

    ok, it is raining hard as hell--sorta like a cow pissing on a flat rock but i recall a couple of years ago snatching a win from chicago, coming behind in the rain thanks to benny.

    the tent appear to be beyond hope but i'll see what i can do to jerry-rig it.

    however the rain came in about 5 hours earlier than forcast, so maybe it will blow out earlier than expected as well.

    i think today may call four bourbon and brandy.

    Got that game on DVD. Too bad it didn't turn around our season either.

    Can someone who's driving bring a TV so that we can watch the Belmont Stakes? It is somewhat important in the grand scheme of things... and it's on NBC so it can be brought down over the air.

    Of course Rob, I agree with you. But one win does not make a season, as much as we need it to tonight.

    I'll see all 10 of you at the game. It's raining like hell right now. Sucks. At least I'm going to a gunshow today too. I'm bringing the keg so you bastards need to drink up to forget it's raining.
    As we used to say in the Army, "just walk between the rain drops."

    Man it's pouring pitchforks and midget babies but I'm on my way to pick up The Captain for the game. See y'all there soon. I wonder if you'll be able to tell where the Mighty Anacostia ends and Lot 8 begins......

    See you guys in Lot 8.

    This weather sucks. I just went to the Home Depot to buy a poncho and some clamps so I can jerry rig an umbrella to my monopod. I hate shooting pictures in this weather, but if I'm under an umbrella, it shouldn't be too bad.
