After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p.m. The game was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader Sunday with the first game starting at 1:35 p.m. and the second at 7:05 p.m. Washington plays in St. Louis Monday night, while Miami hosts Philadelphia. Neither teams clubhouse was open to the media after the postponement was announced. "Id like to call it early and play a doubleheader. Its easier on everybody," Washington manager Davey Johnson said Saturday afternoon. "That said, well probably be here until 1 (a.m.)." Marlins manager Mike Redmond also said he expected that the teams would wait it out. "From what Ive heard, I think they want to play it tonight. Nobody really wants to play a doubleheader on our getaway day. I think well sit this one out, wait it out and see what happens," he said. The details of the decision to wait nearly four hours, and then ultimately postpone the game, were not disclosed.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback didnt practise Wednesday, telling reporters afterwards his right foot injury flared up following the clubs 37-0 home win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday. Durant said he went back to wearing the boot in an attempt to give his foot added support. "It kind of swelled up on me a little bit over the past couple of days," Durant said. "Were just being smart about it, being cautious. "Well see where were at (Thursday)." Durant, 30, injured his foot in a 39-28 road win over the Toronto Argonauts on July 11. He wore the boot early last week but managed to shed it and resume practising later in the week before starting against Hamilton. Durant showed no signs Sunday of the foot bothering him, completing 20-of-32 passes for 347 yards and four TDs against Hamilton.

"I really didnt take any hits," he said. "I guess it was just coming from the pounding, starting and stopping, dropping (back) and running. "All the normal things that happen during a game. It didnt really respond well to that. It was pretty sore (after Sundays game) and it got a little swollen on me. Right now were just trying to manage the pain, manage the swelling." Predictably, Durant is figuring on playing Saturday. "Were going to take it day by day and see how this thing feels," Durant said. "As of right now I hope to be able to go." Saskatchewan (4-0) is the CFLs only unbeaten team and Durant has been a big part of that. Durant has thrown a league-leading 12 TD passes and has yet to surrender an interception. "Right now, hes day to day," Riders head coach Cory Chamblin said of Durant. "It may even go down to a game-time decision." If Durant is unable to play, sophomore Drew Willy would make his second career CFL start. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
