Watch it: Cleveland grounds crew battles the elements
They tried to play baseball in Cleveland on Monday and — surprise, surprise — it snowed.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, like all newspapers, is fascinated with weather. And they’re milking the story for all it’s worth.
On Monday, Alejandro introduced you to the Plain Dealer’s new flash-based video game, “Snowball!“
That game was lame.
But the Plain Dealer’s latest feature, a time-lapse video of the grounds crew fighting to keep the Prog field in playing shape, is pretty cool. So cool, that it has earned the official Umpbump seal of approval.
See, technology isn’t all bad.

You can never go wrong with a good time-lapse video - and this one is very cool. How about a time-lapse “video” of umpbump.com…i.e. of umpbump getting updated over the last year or so…that would be interesting….

It didn’t snow in Cleveland Monday.
It snowed in Cleveland a year ago on the day of the home opener. That’s when the time-lapse is from. It’s promoed at the end of Snowball, too.
Thanks for all the links, though. Any suggestions for our successor to Snowball? I’m thinking “Here Come the Midges” or “Darn Those Sox!”
