Below are some possible Hurricane Irene related playoff scenarios. Of course this all depends on Irene’s final track. It’s important to remember these are the same computer models that pick the BCS National Champion – so take them for what they are worth. 
Pawtucket has the possibility to miss a game or play one or perhaps two double headers. Will this help or hurt us? The bottom line for the Pigs seems to win and be in – despite any possible weather related issues.
TH 8/25 @SYR T-storms 30% FR 8/26 @SWB Sunny 10% SA 8/27 @SWB Isolated T-storms 30% SU 8/28 @SWB Rain 70% MO 8/29 @SWB Mostly Sunny 10% TU 8/30 @ROC Possible Showers WE 8/31 @ROC Partly Cloudy
Gwinnett seems to fare the best of all with what appears to be limited hurricane effects to their upcoming schedule.
TH 8/25 vs.NOR Clear FR 8/26 vs.NOR Sunny SA 8/27 vs.NOR Sunny SU 8/28 vs.NOR Sunny MO 8/29 @DUR Mostly Sunny TU 8/30 @DUR Chance of T-storms WE 8/31 @NOR(DH) Sunny
The IronPigs also stand a strong chance to play a DH with SYR at Coca-Cola Park. I know head groundskeeper Bill Butler will do everything he can to see to it he field is in shape but short of building a dome Sunday is not looking good at this point. We all know very well the Pigs aren’t their best in 7 inning games.

A tad too early to tell exactly how, if at all Irene will affect the IL Playoff Picture. Also, there is not way to predict any travel problems that may result in a scheduling “adjustment/nightmare”. However, it is something we should all keep an eye on regardless. Everyone be safe out there and hopefully we’ll be back at CCP with our life preservers (and umbrella hats) soon enough.
OINK ON!
