Opening Day Washed Out

The much anticipated Opening Day for the 2005 Red Wings was washed out last night. It's sort of funny that we don't get any rain for three weeks, some counties are beginning to ask for water conservation, and here we are with a rainout on Opening Day. It rained very hard for about 20 minutes about 4 hours before game time. That was enough to put 1st base under water and make the plate a skating rink of mud. The Wayne County Raptors come into town today for a 7:00 start, hopefully the rains will hold off for this one. The game tonight is sponsored by Gallagher's pub and the demand for tickets has been very high, so hopefully we can skip the rain, have a great crowd, and get a nice win on Opening Night!
