TM>It's not designed to eliminate stoppage of games due to rain.  It's 
designed
TM>lessen and shorten those stoppages, so all you have to worry about is the 
ra

orld
TM>still only handle so much water, but again, the idea is not to eliminate

     So with a hard rain fall and they stop the game.  That when the
rain stops that they use this drainage system to quicken the amount of
time to dry up the field.  That is not a bad idea.
TM>Looks like you were more right than wrong.  The Cards couldn't even beat 
the
TM>Braves, with a 3-1 lead, so it's doubtful they could have handled the 
Yankee
TM>any better than the Braves did.
    Yeah but i would still put dollars on the Cardinals in the world
series over the Yankees.  The Braves just made me turn away from the
Cardinals than to go down with the team.  And root for the Braves in the
world series but that didn't do much did it.  So this year i am rooting
through the good and the bad of my St. Louis Cardinal team.  By the way
did i mention that i live in another state.  So i am far away fan.
TM>So in other words, you're a fair-weather fan, and root for teams only when 
y
TM>think they'll probably win.  I rooted for the Braves when they were losing 
1
TM>games a year.
      No i am a die hard St. Louis Cardinals fan, just that when it came
down to what the Yankees were doing.  That since i hate the Yankees that
i wanted a team that can beat them.  And when the Cardinals failed to
put the Braves away in their series.  That i did something that a die
hard fan shouldn't have done and that was root for the other team.  And
when the Braves lost in the world series to the Yankees that i realized
that i made the wrong decision and paid the price.  Since i should have
gone through the good and the bad during the series with the Braves and
Cardinals even if the Cardinals would loose out in the end.  But a die
hard fan must be there for his team through it all.
