"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and..
sometimes it rains." From Bull Durham.
Anyway mother nature wins today as tonight's game is a rain out. A doubleheader at 4:35 Wednesday as Justin Hedrick makes his first start of the season in Game 2. With that start time there'll be a hundred or so people tops for the first pitch and Harrisburg will be on the road by 9 PM.
Lance posted the Senators 2008 schedule under the comments section of yesterday's post. Take a good look at those starting times. Hopefully the Defs will use similar times next year.
Proposed starting times are the subject of a poll on the Defs web page as we post. It's kind of one side sided since the only choice to vote for starting times for night games is 6:35 but actually that's the time I want anyway for the whole season. For Sunday's my vote is for 1:05 and for Memorial Day 2:05.
PS--MORE weekday day games please! Especially for getaway games for visiting team in for weekday series. I also like a couple of 10:35 games thrown in; nothing like a morning baseball game--great way to start the day.

I've always advocated keeping start times for night games at 6:35, but looking at it practically, isn't a 7:05 PM start better for the working person?
I'd also like to see all April games, except Fridays, played during the day. I don't think it would hurt attendance and might actually help. Start a few games at 12:05 PM and call them "a different kind of nooner or noonsie!"
As for Sunday start times, 1:05 makes sense, but from a selfish point of view, I'd prefer the 2:05 to continue.
