Boooo

Rain is gonna be just as bad tomorrow, but looks like it will start clearing up once night falls. Highly doubt they get a double header in, but at least the temp is projected to be in the 60s.

Not looking too great for the first game against Boston either. They'll probably have to make Friday, Saturday or Sunday a double header as well. Ricky is gonna have to be creative with how he uses his players, hopefully the starters can go at least 6 innings most games to help spare the pen.

They get a 26th man for these double headers don't they?

Not sure if they get a 26th man tomorrow. Hopefully. 

On the weather, I'm more optimistic they get the rest of this week's games in on the day they're scheduled. 

BTW, 31 games in 31 days in May. Great scheduling.

Can they use that 26th man to skip Nova?...I don't mind waiting to see him pitch again

Cease as the 26th man!

Anderson is now officially the first Sox middle infielder to finish a month with > 1.000 OPS since Jose Valentin in 2004

Anderson probably won't have enough to win AL player of the month. There's 4-5 AL hitters ahead of him in terms of WAR and OPS.

God damn I'm sick of these "springs".  Awful weather follows this team around like they are Linus or some shit.

I like how they reassure people with tix to tonite's game. 

April showers brings May Flowers and lots of White Sox wins! Stinks game is cancelled but no problem, today is my wife's birthday.

Not Linus though Charlie Brown was the loser and often people thinks it's also a Peanuts character named PIg Pen who had the dark cloud above his head but he was just always in a cloud of dirt and dust.The original rain cloud character is from the “Lil’ Abner” comic strip by cartoonist Al Capp and the character’s name is Joe Btfsplk.

What about Eyeore?

Eeyore did sometimes have a rain cloud over his head but most of the time he didn't. Since he mentioned Linus the Peanuts character I did a little research and found out  Pig Pen (another Peanuts character) was often thought to have the rain cloud from this article  https://legalnoodle.com/joe-btfsplk-rain-cloud-head-not-pig-pen/

Anyone who watched the Peanuts cartoons knew Pig Pen was called Pig Pen because of the dirt and dust surrounding him but it was not above his head nor was it a rain cloud. We also know Linus was the one with the security blanket.

Who are the guesses for 26th man?  

I am going to go with Evan Marshall.  Yet to give up a run in AAA.  Open spot on the 40 man.  Hasn't pitched since the 27th, so is fresh.  

Ruiz goes down to AAA tomorrow and Marshall stays.
