Week 2 Options:

Okay, I’ve been looking at the forecast even though it’s a day earlier than I normally do but the storm could really impact us.

Right now, the storm is expected run to the East of us but it will be raining – Weather.com is forecasting “squalls” from 9-11 on Saturday with winds around 25mph. I’ve never seen it forecast squalls so that’s something new.

We have three options:

1) Play on Saturday despite the fact that it will likely be raining the entire time and throwing the ball more than 10 yards against the wind will be nigh impossible.
2) Cancel the game this week.
3) Play the game Sunday morning.

I generally don’t support moving the game around but this week might be a good week to do so. Sunday has chance of isolated thunderstorms with winds around 14 mph. That’s a lot more what we usually play in when it’s ugly out.

We don’t need a decision Thursday night be we need one on Friday and we need the parameters around which we’re going to make the final decision (if the forecast changes because the storm shifts more towards Louisiana, for example we could play Saturday as normal).

One thing I’d like to suggest is that if we play on Saturday and it’s expected to rain and be really nasty, we play at Round Rock. They have more fields so if we screw one up, it won’t be as big a problem. This weekend’s game is unlikely to be really great anyway so why would we want to jeopardize our arrangement with McNeil? Same thing if we move the game to Sunday – we should play at Round Rock.

The only way we should play at McNeil this week is if the storm ends up missing us.
