Cigars rained out again; John Struble gets knee surgery

The Cigars were rained out again for the third time this season. It's been a rainy spring in Atlanta and between rain and holidays we've only managed 3 games thus far. Its going to be a busy second half of the season. We'll be off for the Memorial Day weekend and back in action against the Cubs in two weeks. 

In other news, Cigars infielder John Struble (right) got knee surgery on Monday and will be out 4-6 weeks. We all wish John a speedy recovery so he can get back on the field soon.
