And rightly so.

What does your weather acumen tell us about what will happen with the World Series?

Yes, I've just heard that as well. I hadn't heard that before.

More of an immediate interest is NBC getting their way to get the gymnastics and swimming finals for the Beijing Olympics moved into the morning so it is in prime time for you guys.

This is quite a telling quote:

Quote:

Maradona briefly coached Argentine provincial club Deportivo Mandiyu in 1994 and the more prestigious Racing Club the following year. He enjoyed little success in either post.

But I guess if your Honduras, you'll try anything. After all, they're not anywhere near the big two/three in CONCACAF, are they?

I'm guessing it would be the first Major League game ever to be played in November?

They did have a bit of sucess in the run-up to WC 2002 and even beat Mexico. But, no, they dont have anything near decent facilities or money. And their players dont play in the big leagues.

Even Mexico has started sending its players to Europe.

I believe so. If tonights game gets rained out and it goes 7 with a travel day game 7 would be Nov 1.

Maybe because the workers get angry and are constantly leaving.

Yes that is certainly one of the major reasons for the delay.
