Brick checks in

Rain last night. Not good. Rain today. Not good. Rain, wind, and severe thunderstorms forecast for tonight...Well, that's a bit much for Brick.

Brick's therapist...yes, camels can have therapists...thinks that it is best to focus my rage at the weather, meteorologists, slow service at a restaurant, cable channels that don't work in hotels, PA announcers that give the wrong time to start games, vending machines that are only on the first floor of a hotel, ...

Sorry, where was Brick? Focus! Right! It is best to focus my rage into the ancient Japanese art of Haiku. So,

Doubleheader on schedule.
Ugly forecast threatens all.
Roudha, this sure blows.

Raindrops keep falling

Greetings, Rattler fans. Carl, the rain-hating camel here. Brick was getting a little...let's just say too much. Stay tuned to Rattler Radio for updates on the weather and the status of the games today. The team will be at the ballpark around 2:15pm and the first game is scheduled for 5:35pm.

Oh, and Mehring wanted me to pass along some actual news.

The Rattlers will be staying on rotation if we play today. That means:

Efrain Nieves and Cody Scarpetta in game one. Trey Watten in game two.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go get some microwavve popcorn for Brick. That is one of the few things that actually calms him down.
