Any weather updates?

Forecast is a bit better for Wednesday. Showers in the afternoon that should either end or taper to drizzle by first pitch with temps in the upper 40s. The Red Sox put in a new drainage system a few years ago, so if it's not raining like crazy, the field won't be too soggy.
Thursday's forecast is the same: Clear and low 40s.
The unfortunate thing is Sunday night and tonight would have been great nights for baseball. I cooked barbecue on the grill last night. We hit 70 degrees here today, and tomorrow it's supposed to be in the upper 60s. It won't be this warm again here until late April/early May.
 

Nothing really new with the weather forecast. Any rain should be light and end just before or around the start of the game.

In another development, today is "Red Sox Day" at my son's school, and the dress code was relaxed to allow the kids to wear hats. Zach wore a Cardinals cap.

Goold:

BOSTON • The Cardinals will finalize the obvious this morning when they submit their 25-man roster for the World Series with Allen Craig available and starting tonight’s Game 1 at designated hitter.
Craig, who has been out for more than six weeks with ligament damage in his left foot, ran the bases at Fenway Park during an afternoon workout on the eve of the 109th World Series. He has intensified his workouts with each passing day, and manager Mike Matheny said the cleanup hitter did enough to “pass his last test” and join the roster. To make room on the 25-man roster the Cardinals dropped outfielder Adron Chambers.
Matt Adams will start at first base at Fenway Park. Mozeliak said that the weather will determine if Craig attempts to work out in the field before Games 1 and 2. The Cardinals have not ruled out starting Craig at first base when the series shifts to National League rules at Busch Stadium.

Rookie Michael Wacha, who clinched the National League pennant and the NL championship series MVP award in his previous game, will start Game 2 of the World Series. Matheny announced the assignment Tuesday. The Cardinals have won all three of Wacha’s starts in the postseason, and including his final start of the regular season, the rookie righty has allowed one run and nine hits in 29 2/3 innings. He’s struck out 31. Wacha, 22, visited Fenway with Team USA while in college but did not pitch at the 101-year-old ballpark.

John Hirschbeck will serve as crew chief for the World Series and will be behind the plate for Game 1 tonight at Fenway Park. Hirschbeck’s crew will include Mark Wegner, Dana DeMuth, Paul Emmel, Bill Miller, and Jim Joyce.

Looks like the rain will stay just to the south of Boston. But it's cold.
