Maybe they can play the "inclement weather " card at about 10am tomorrow and avoid Noesi this weekend.

First Sox hit now, Emilio. Do it!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) Probably. It's going to pass though. Anything is walking distance if you have the time.

I bet they try to get this inning completed, and the tarp goes on. Too wet.

Thanks Yost

Could be a suspended game if they tie, and can't continue.

It would figure on a night Quintana could go 7, if they get rained out after 6...losing 2-1.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) I miss Tank. No you don't

...and this game is o--ficial

Nice to see Shane Greene fall back to Earth tonight.

No umpire warning before the game, but I doubt anything happens the rest of the series. Hopefully it's over.

Drabek- 3 scoreless so far, 1 hit, 1 bb, 1 k Thompson 2-2, sb, .327 Davidson is hitting .280. It's something at least.

No rain delays, please.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) Turns out, the Sox were out of sunflower seeds and Chris just went over to see if KC had any extra. Thanks, Stoney

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 01:56 PM) Every f***ing game is a battle I'm choosing, currently. Please, by all means, enlighten me as to where he has excelled in the department of "manager" in the 2015 season. I'm all for Ventura being replaced...he should have never got the job in the first place. But to say he did or said something wrong last night? No, I don't think he did anything wrong, or said anything wrong publicly. Chances are he's pissed at some of his players right now, as well as the Royals.

The Robin Ventura angle on this fight...if you're anti-Robin, choose your battles. This isn't one of them.

I'm going to guess Ventura will get 10 games, Samardzija 5 games, and Sale a decent sized fine. Volquez will get 5, and probably Cain will get a game or two.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) Duke quick pitched someone last week. I would need to see it again, but did he start his motion after the batter was set, or while the batter was in the middle of a pre-pitch routine? There's a difference, in my opinion. It's not as simple as the batter is in the box and should be ready to hit at any moment. There needs to be a little bit of an understanding that the batter gets a second to get ready for a pitch, and we all know it when we see it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) Ventura quick pitched him because hes a dick, nothing more. Yeah, there actually should be a rule where the ump has discretion to call a no-pitch. Changing your cadence once you start your motion...no problem. But to try to be a jerk on purpose, the ump should be able to call a no-pitch.

Phil Rogers is saying suspensions/fines could be announced late today.
