MLB Postpones Game 2 Of Cubs vs. Marlins Series Because Of Rain?
OK, so yeah it’s going to rain at some point (maybe) Thursday in Chicago, but whatever rain falls should clear out pretty fast by 3 p.m. or so. However, MLB has decided to postpone Game 2 of the Cubs vs. Marlins series at Wrigley Field because of the weather.
Game 2 has been re-scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday.
Today's Cubs game has been cancelled, @670TheScore has learned. It's 100% weather-related.

Again, it might rain, but it should go away by about 3 p.m.

The only thing that makes sense is that MLB doesn’t want the players just sitting around if there is some delay today because of rain and I guess it’s better than this happening to the Cubs with Yu Darvish starting Game 2 for the Cubs.
I will say, nothing would be worse for the Cubs than starting a game today, hitting an hour plus rain delay, and losing Darvish after like 2 innings.

So, Game 2 now on Friday and hopefully a Game 3 Saturday.
There’s a chance Friday’s game will be at night.
MLB releases official word of today's Cubs-Marlins game being postponed. It'll be 1:08 central tomorrow unless it's the only game of the day, then it will be at 6:08.
