Free advice for the Sox- postpone Wednesday and Thursday's games tomorrow. The Tigers come back twice. Take the 26th man and better weather in May and August.

Unscientific, but if they would have announced Sunday at noon that the game is Tuesday at 3:10, how many fans make it Tuesday?

They gambled, they lost when it comes to playing today. But they got what they wanted- scheduled media coverage, and concession money.

I'll admit I was wrong if it happens, but I bet Quintana has known for at least an hour he's pitching tomorrow.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) I wonder why he isn't there. NCAA tournament. He's the man

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:48 PM) Why the hell are they doing the pregame s***. They need to get this game going before the next wave of rain hits I think they're just doing as much of the OD stuff as possible, and the game being played is probably not happening. The people in the park will get a freebie of some sort and sent on their way home.

Melky still 53. Jacob May is 32 though.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) Pitchers not warming up. This game isn't being played anytime soon They aren't playing today. They're just doing everything else.

Player introductions sponsored. That's why that's happening.

Sox thinking- Get the media to cover what they want. Get the fans there to spend as much money as possible. Hope they get the game in, but if they don't, no biggie-hand out vouchers for a future game. Send fans on their way.

Guaranteed Rain Field. Try the veal.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Delayed. No pregame ceremonies either That's too bad. Nothing they can do now. Hope they get 9 innings in today.

It's possible Melky is still 53. Like I said, it may just be a misprint in the game notes, and the person who put them together put 44 because Bourjos was next to Cabrera on a list from spring training.

Honestly, it could be good or bad weather in Mid-March to late May. I know it gets said every year that they should open in better climates, but it really doesn't matter other than possibly getting rained out on opening day.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 11:51 AM) Really? That's weird. I thought he always liked 53, even before he was with us. Bourjos wore 44 this spring. Maybe it's just a misprint on the game notes.

Well, hopefully they get the game in and nobody gets hurt. Go Sox...pick to click...Asche--duh! According to the game notes... Jacob May will wear 32. Melky Cabrera changed to 44.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 07:14 AM) Well, this should be interesting. My worst nightmare would be to get all the way down there just to have them move it to tomorrow. Considering how much lead time they had, it should have been moved to Tuesday regardless. This will be another Sox fail.

As of now, they plan to play as scheduled. The forecasts I've seen, there is a possible window to start the game on time, but they could end up playing in a light rain. Not fun.

Whatever call they make, this is looking like a 1-game series and doubleheaders in late May and late August.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) Heywards swing doesn't look fixed, if anything it looks worse Greg Walker ruin him too?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:53 PM) What's the percentage they get this game in tomorrow? I think real low. Even the temps look fairly low. They could just say "inclement weather" and be done with it until Tuesday.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 05:11 PM) Or he could hit two home runs. That could be good Wow. Early MVP lead.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) Yeah the people who say a game is cancelled for the most part sound stupid. It just bugs me when the Rongey types say "today's game is cancelled. It will be made up tomorrow". Um, no.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) What's there to watch this year? It seems like the only story is if the Cubs will repeat. Maybe it's just because the White Sox are expected to stink, but it looks like it's going to be a boring year. Bumgarner hasn't given up a hit yet. That could be good.

This whole week looks like crap. The entire Tigers series looks bad each day...except for Tuesday when they play the opener. Hopefully they do the right thing and postpone early tomorrow morning before people would start making their way to the park.
