They sold parking and concessions tonight, right?

Guess they probably still lost money based on the costs of all those workers just to show up and wait around for a couple of hours at least, security, etc.

JR's lame ass is trending on twitter. I feel sorry for kids in Chicago man trying to come up as sox fans. this is not what us 30-55 or so folks aged knew as the product, as insufferable as JR was otherwise. This is unfathomable levels of bad.

No, this just gifted the Sox at least one win. Double headers are almost always split. It’s already happened a couple times this year.

True. I was just thinking that they get at least one automatic win. There's hope of losing both, though, if Texas can take game one. Sox might squeeze out a win. A Sox sweep would be wild.

I wouldn’t put a ton of money on this one.

No loss today!!!

But maybe two tomorrow…

It was mind-boggling that they allowed the game to start at all.  The radar showed a huge, severe storm slowly heading toward the area.  And on the broadcast you could see the pitch black sky in the background.  Then they post on Twitter that "unexpected" thunderstorms caused the game to be suspended.

NGL those storms seemed to surprise the entire area.  We went from clear and hot/muggy until dusk straight to a T storm warning with possible damage alerts and I was watching the news and every weather anchor seemed unsure of where it all was going

if you watched the radar, it went from nothing to big time in no time at all.

It absolutely sucks how the Sox always deal with these things though, which is an immediate concessions cash grab 

Another historic record for this awesome franchise

 

Yeah those storms popped up out of nowhere.   There was a crazy amount of lightning all night too by me.

They may have largely come “out of nowhere” but 4 pitches is insane incompetence.  You’re telling me they didn’t have 2’ of warning?  That doesn’t seem entirely plausible.   There’s a reason it’s the first game in league history suspended before a single out.

I don't think so. It was insane. I live on the Near North Side. Right before 7, it was sunny and there was a cicada right by my bedroom window. It was so loud, i thought it might be inside. Then I spotted him on the small window ledge below my window. I didn't want to take out the screen to shoe him away so I pounded on the glass. That just made him louder. 2 minutes later he was pounded by hail and he scrammed.

I’m just saying…it’s the first time it’s…ever happened.  Not surprising that it happens in a game hosted by the most dysfunctional organization in the league.

I’m with Rusty. Although I thought that front moved in incredibly fast, any reason to s%*# on this organization is a good one.

The Sox breaking dubious records and setting new standards of incompetence is when preparation meets opportunity.

Oh good, more Chris Flexen.

Yikes 

 

Flexen allows his customary 3 base runners per inning and gives up a run. Could have been worse, though.

This is the worst I’ve ever seen it. $2 gets you in and you can sit where you want. 

Rangers base running the only thing keeping Sox alive in this one so far.

I'm generally a bit anti social so that picture makes me seriously consider going to the ballpark tonight

Anybody getting this on MLB.tv?    I don't seem to have the broadcast.    Hate not to see a Flexon start!

For 2 games, too.
