Not for a Braves fan.

For a change the wind came from the weather instead of from Braves bats! The ump let them play after the storm because it would otherwise have been made up in 100 degree heat tomorrow afternoon. Cards website reports 30 injured fans at the park from the weather, 5 of whom were taken to the hospital (2 back injuries, 1 dislocated hip, 1 dislocated shoulder and 1 seizure unrelated to the weather.) The storm also wreaked havoc throughout the new park, shredding parts of the field tarp and destroying the plastic sheeting in the press box. The FOX studio was tipped over and demolished. Cards still won 8-3 behind Carpenter in spite of him learning before the game his house was out of power and his family had fled to a motel for the night.
