Thank you so much.
Right now, I'm going to throw this back upstairs in the curtain.
So you might need to have a travel speaker to tell you to hit that valuation on the field right now.
Alright, going back to where I left here.
Still raining steadily and lightly now.
Two of our showers here, and they're starting to rain just before we came running out here in the middle of Massachusetts.
I had a World Series report.
So it's been raining now after 22 minutes.
And it's getting to the back here.
The length of the start of the game, only about 7 minutes.
We'll come.
Okay, what's the condition of the field?
How much more water can it take?
Well, you know, we've been talking about quite a bit of rain here.
And it's going to take quite a bit of rain.
Right now, it's hard to say, and that's because I can't tell you just how much more it will take.
Most of the field, you know, you'll have a very good system, but you'll have to have your vehicle without a very good system down here.
Oh, I'll do that in two minutes.
It's not that one of the predictions.
So what do you expect?
What do you expect as far as weather forecast, as far as, you know, it's not your decision, but I'm sure that Mr. Cuban is also going to come to you for advice.
What do you think about that fight, and how long will it take?
Well, while we're trying, I'll tell you.
Well, sorry, I'm trying to say, as I say to the board, we have a bit of rain today, and it hasn't been mentioned.
It's a dry night today, so this is an odd scene for me to make.
Actually, the rain now seems to be coming from behind us.
This is a matter for the weather.
It's here in the north of the Bay Area.
It's mostly coming from the west.
It's coming from the south this time.
It's mostly coming from the west.
Mike, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
I'll come back with it.
It's going to happen.
I'll come back with it.
The ring is going over.
I'm going to send Matt and Doug out there.
The point is to go through.
The Rangers play here against the Buffalo Bills.
This is the most common thing that they do most for.
The Rangers don't play ball games.
They have four of the older names, and they do it in baseball.
And as soon as they were done with the football game on Sunday, they went right to work time to get this field ready for the World Series.
It rained off and on yesterday and this morning.
It was a helicopter that we taped.
A shot of the helicopter that was on the field.
It was flying at the force of the air.
That is a sign to the place where it was taking off.
It was just on this very high air.
Thank you.
