The cancellation of the Cubs/Reds game Wednesday night with the score 2-1 Cubs in the fourth inning gives me another chance to go on one of my weather rants.
First, look at this:
This image was taken from The Weather Channel website about half an hour after umpires finally threw in the towel on this game. As you can see, this large storm covered just about all of metro Phoenix for most of the evening, with very heavy rain.
This was forecast all day. It was clear that it would hit the area around Goodyear Ballpark around an hour after game time, which is exactly what happened.
