Just heard on the score the game is being made up as a doubleheader in I think it was May.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 09:31 PM) Well, not the best of starts to the year. Between Q (obviously just ONE start, and it's not like he got battered around...although he did surrender 3 homers), Rodon and lingering questions about Giolito's fastball, we need some positive news again. I don't think anyone's going to get too excited about salary dumping Melky/Robertson and replacing our outfielders with the likes of Tilson/Engel/L.Garcia/Liriano/Hawkins, but eventually you'll have a young team full of exciting and dynamic players. EVENTUALLY. It's also becoming more and more clear that Jose Abreu should be DHing. Of course, so should Avi Garcia...the problem there being you can't have a DH with a 725-750 OPS and expect to have a competitive offense. Why am I seeing this word so often in regards to the 2017 team?

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Man the defense in the OF is going to be embarrassing *Cue the gif of the puppy trying to catch the ball.* The most realistic depiction of Avisail Garcia in the outfield.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) Beer's bat looks great, but I don't like hearing scouts questioning his ability to stick in the outfield If he is a 1B/DH player only his value will take a bit time hit, even with a great bat. Doubtful he goes #1 or even #2 overall Might bode well for the people that want him and we don't finish say top 5.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 10:31 AM) I took a half day off yesterday to drink in an overly crowded bar so I can't go to the game today. Thanks you steaming pile of crap white sox management. Showed up to work this morning and decided taking a half day for a game at 1 is much better than taking a half day for a game at 3 so I purchased tickets and I'm going now. Decided to break my rule of not going to April games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) I'm sure you're good for today and a bonus game. Alright thanks. I was assuming so.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) yes. I should've included that I just bought the tickets this morning and they say the game is on Tuesday. I assume that it should still be ok.

If you buy tickets to today's game via stubhub, do you qualify to receive a ticket later on? It would almost be like I bought a ticket for yesterday's game through stubhub.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Astro's sign him then trade him to the Sox for Quintana. I was thinking maybe if the Astros got him, it would help the prospect blow of making a deal for Q.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) I'm so mad I started breaking my rule about never going to baseball in April last few years. Not only is the weather s***, but the whole stadium from security to vendors have no idea what's going on. Even if you get a half decent day you'll be in line for four innings. I'm done with opening day. This was an awful experience. Honestly felt used by the end of it. Yeah I only break my rule of not going to games in April if its an afternoon game on a Saturday with the sun out.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 05:49 PM) Sox fans should want the Royals to be good this season. But we also want the Twins to be slightly better than the Sox. I want them to be good this year. They have possible rentals at the deadline.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 05:18 PM) Technically your ticket is still good tomorrow and another free game, but I would imagine most of the people who took off work today won't be taking off tomorrow. They could toss them up on stubhub to try to redeem some cash even.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) It's opening day. They leave a day off in their schedule literally for this reason. There's an offday tomorrow for this reason. Which leads me to believe they actually intend on playing today.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:26 PM) To be fair I expect more from an organization. If they had called it this morning like they should've if they were not willing to play in a drizzle. I would've been fine. To be fair, they aren't the only organization that operates this way. Games are rarely called day before/early morning of.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Yeah because I can predict the future when buying tickets in early march. The white sox however knew they were not willing to play in this weather and still didn't call it this morning. And now they're dicking me around when I still showed up and tailgated even with this forecast. First pitch should've been 70 minutes ago. A light drizzle is the most weve seen since then. So no this isn't on me. It's on this worthless organization, and if I don't get a full refund for today plus a voucher for a free game I won't be spending my money here anymore, and I attend 15+ games a year. To be fair, you bought the tickets for a game in early April. You should know the weather sucks here.

Even when the tarp comes off, fans would probably have to wait another 30 minutes at least.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) Same. But it doesn't seem like we'll see any of it today.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) Worst thing about opening at home is no Gene Honda, dude is the best, just isn't the same without him. I wonder why he isn't there.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:56 PM) 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. But they end up paying marked up tickets for the first game of the season only to get a free ticket voucher to another game?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) Sucks that MLB.tv doesn't have the intros showing. Shouldn't it be blacked out if you're trying to watch locally?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) Yea I'm at work and it's a very stressful day, was very much hoping to watch some Sox baseball. The way I'm seeing it, the longer the delay the better. I get home from the city at around 5:30. The longer the delay=longer I'll be able to watch.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) Tarp still on the infield. No rain. Has barely been drizzling since 3pm. Remember this when the game gets delayed in the 5th I thought someone above said the tarp came off?

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Comcast sports net chicago is on slingtv now...along with Fox sports 1, nbc sports, nfl tv, and more if you get the $5 sports add on. And tomorrow, t mobile customers can get a year of mlb tv again. Sports is no longer a struggle for me since cutting the cord. In fact, it's now perfect for my viewing habits. Perfect.I just purchased an Amazon Fire Stick. My brother has one and has the Kodi app where you can watch every TV show on any channel and any movie including ones in theaters so once I get the fire stick, I'm cancelling Hulu and Netflix as it is unnecessary with the $40 firestick. I only really have cable for sports now.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Garcia had a hilarious moment in RF on Saturday where he tracked a foul ball and just straight up missed it, it hit off his glove and went fair. Luckly called foul correctly. If you touch a foul ball in foul territory and the ball lands fair, how is that not fair?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) Opening day/home opener is always fun (except for 2015). If you can get off work you should do it. Me and a few guys from the office are thinking about leaving early. Depends on if they are dicks and make me put in PTO for it. I'd rather just leave here at 2:00, take the train to get there like 30 mins before the game and just stay late/come in early rest of the week.
