Hey, I got a
lot of real-world crap to do today, so I'll be brief.
I know this is a sports weather blog, but you may want to know that President Barack Obama's primetime speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night has been moved indoors to the Time Warner Center in Charlotte.
Obama campaign officials had been saying for weeks the speech would take place outdoors "rain or shine," but a strong threat of thunderstorms forced the move. (And, perhaps a lack of confidence by campaign officials to fill the 75,000-seat Bank of America Stadium.)
Here's where'd I'd like to throw in a joke about the cluelessness of Mitt Romney, but I just can't make it fit. This is a not-quite-ready-for-primetime-blog, ya know.

Ok, moving
forward to the sports stuff. It's been raining like hell at the U.S. Open in
New York, and it appears the weather will be a menace again today. Only two matches reached completion Tuesday. One being
Victoria Azarenka's three-set win over Sam Stosur under glooming skies. I love Azarenak, but I
really wish she stop with the post-match dances, unless she's dancing in a
downpour. I'll make that exception.
Maria
Sharapova, speaking of someone I'd like to see dancing in the rain, and Marion
Bartoli pick up their suspended match today at 11 a.m.
Oh, and you
may have heard, Andy Roddick will try to stave off career elimination tonight.
His match was rained out Tuesday night. It's sort of a big deal to a bunch of
tennis pundits. I love tennis, but I've never been a Roddick fan.
I keep hearing how great he is, but it seems every time I look at tournaments results, Roddick has lost in the second round. The excuse I keep hearing is he played in a tough era. Big deal. If he really were great, the era wouldn't matter. To be truly great, you have to get the job done no matter the competition.

Wow, I really
went off on a tangent there.
Didn't I say I
was going to be brief? Oh, well.
One more
thing: The NFL season kicks off tonight, and there's a strong chance of rain
and thunderstorms for the Cowboys-Giants matchup at MetLife Stadium. Awesome!
I know I said
more thing, but I got another "one more thing." Ok? Did you hear
there was a rain
delay in Toronto for the Blue Jays-Orioles game Tuesday night? That's
right. A brief, unofficial rain delay at the indoor Rogers Centre. Apparently
the retractable roof was moving a bit slowly… like Robinson Cano moving toward
a ground ball.
Ok, that's it.
Good night, everybody. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me. We're
have I heard that before?
