It's a wet one

McKechnie Field is covered by tarp, and most of the Pittsburgh Pirates are lounging in the clubhouse.
I'm John Lembo, sports writer with The Bradenton Herald, and I will be here on this cold, rainy and windy Sunday as the Pirates are set to host the Detroit Tigers at 1:05.
Justin Verlander is throwing for Detroit aginst the Pirates' Jimmy Barthmaeir.
The game is still a go, and according to weather.com, the rain should be out of here some time after 11 a.m.
OK, so this is not a perfect day for baseball. But if you haven't boxed up all your heavier clothing, throw some on and head to the ballpark.
I have a hunch good seats will be easy to find.
