The Cubs should postpone Monday’s home opener... now

Here’s the weather forecast for the area around Wrigley Field on Monday:

Monday

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. High near 49. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Yuck. Not conducive to baseball. That’s the National Weather Service forecast. Other forecast models generally concur that Monday will be a raw, wet and windy day in Chicago, with temps in the 40s and no real window to play baseball.

The Cubs should be proactive and postpone the game NOW and make it up on Thursday, an off day. This would give people time to plan, instead of hemming and hawing and trying to squeeze a game in on a day not suitable for baseball.
