Our game got rained out today. It was supposed to be the Detroit Tigers hosting the Texas Rangers for a 1pm game in Comerica Park. I was already concerned about the weather when I checked the forecast a couple days ago. We've been really fortunate so far on our trip to dodge the rainy weather but this time it got us.

We were able to get in the ballpark before the game started. It was still sunny and hot(82F), but 30 minutes before the game started, the groundskeepers put out the tarp to cover the infield.

And 10 minutes later, the sky went from partly cloudy, to a dark gray and the rain started pouring. And it was pouring for more than an hour straight. Just when we thought the rain was going to let up, another surge of heavy rain, thunder and lightning hit us. Then the game was called and postponed for a doubleheader on September 11. At least we got in the ballpark and sat in our seats for a few minutes and had our lunch before the game started. I had a Kielbasa and a Muchos Nachos. Good stuff but this is the first day I went without a beer.

Thursday's plan - Drive to Cleveland and watch the last game of our trip. Its the Cleveland Indians hosting the Oakland A's.
