First a Pandemic; Next up—a Hurricane

It's almost like someone doesn't want the Phillies to play at all this season. They've been shut down since last Sunday when the Miami Pandemics lost something like half of their team to positive tests for COVID. Two Phillies staff members tested positive earlier this week and the team has been shut down. Turns out the tests were false positives. Because 2020.

They've had no new positives, false or otherwise, for the last two days, and they were allowed to practice at Citizens Bank Park today. And then word came down that Monday's game against the Yankees has been postponed to give the team an extra day to work out, since it will have been more than a week since they've played.

So they'll resume games on Tuesday. Er, not so fast, according to the National Hurricane Center, which is saying whatever is left of Hurricane Isaias will be over the Philadelphia region on Tuesday. So maybe Wednesday? Unless a swarm of locusts descends on the ballpark. At this point, nothing would surprise me. 

This team can't catch a break.
