Rain delayed the start of the Cubs-Mets game Wednesday night at Shea Stadium.
For the Cubs, it would have been better if the rain hadn't stopped.
Cubs manager Lou Piniella sought an explanation for the Cubbies 8-1 loss and found it in the pitching of Rich Hill.
Having solved Carlos Zambrano's pitching troubles (the now-famous early revelation problem), Piniella must next solve Hill's troubles. If Piniella fails, Hill may get rained out permanently.
Hill's problems lie in the fact that he's walking batters and then letting them steal on him. These troubles may be more difficult to solve than Zambrano's early revelations.
It's now 3:25 PM, Thursday, in Chicago, and the Cubs just lost to the Mets by one run.
Bring on the rain.
