An hour before the series finale between the Cubs and Cardinals at Busch Stadium was scheduled to start, the home team announced that first pitch had been delayed Sunday.

It was still raining, and forecasts suggested that it would continue for at least the next hour. The teams did not immediately give an estimate for the new start time.

The skies over downtown St. Louis opened up four hours before game time Sunday. The torrential downpour pooled on the tarp, warning track and outfield at Busch Stadium.

Well the route from the visitors clubhouse to the batting cages/dugout is flooded here at Busch Stadium.
