Rain to scupper game one?

by Matt Smith

“The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain”

The rain in Boston is mainly a pain in the rear end.

Game one of the World Series, everyone cannot wait for it to start, and the clouds decide to circle around Fenway. Optimistic reports suggest constant drizzle will make way for a heavy downpour just as the stadium lights are switched off. Others cast severe doubt on whether the game will go nine innings. Either way, it’s probably going to be a long night.

The rain doesn’t bode well for anybody, least of all for the Boston Pops. The world famous (admittedly, not in my house) orchestra are scheduled to perform the National Anthem before the game. That should make for an interesting “marks-out-of-ten” competition on Five! Normally the anthem is performed by the likes of Billy Ray Cyrus (singing his achy breaky heart out, of course), so this should be a bit different. Let’s hope the rain doesn’t drown them out.
