I'm amazed they haven't called this game. And I do hope it does get underway.

The new message was that the storm would hit within 15 minutes and last about 30 minutes. It is not raining there right now.

The last update was definitely not a recording.

 

And there was not one visible raindrop falling on Fenway Pawk.

 

Red Sox officials are dragging their feet. It's obvious they don't want to make this game official before any more heavy rainfall occurs.

Yep, there was about 1.5 hours of playable weather between the two storms. Boston doesn't want to take the loss. This one will be called. OR they will shoot the entire ChiSox pitching staff except Adkins and Vizcaino before we restart.

NESN annoncers said that they are planning on waiting it out and getting the game in.

 

Sounds like a batch of storms are due to hit in the next 15 mins or so and then they may try to play again.

 

So much for the team getting into Chicago in a timely manner this evening.

Its not an official game so if they call it, all stats are erased!!! Boston wouldnt lose, or maybe I didnt interpret your post correctly

i think comcast is running out of fluff

its pouring there again!!!

I'm about ready to admit that this game is going to get postponed. Pretty s***ty that it happened....but it might be good for our bullpen in the long run.

Red Sox officials have nothing to do with it once the lineups are turned in. The fate of this game is with the umpires.

There is a severe thunderstorm warning in Boston at the moment.

I would assume the umps are talking to MLB about how long to let the rain fall, it is the last game vs BOS for us and Im sure neither team wants to waste a precious day off to make this one up!!! Remember in 90 or 91 we waited 6 hours for a rain delay on a sunday afternoon vs oakland!!!

Was it really not raining for a long period of time at Fenway during this delay?

That's what it sounds like.

but there was a severe thunderstorm warning in the area at the time.

Comcast just made it sound like Pods has been put on the DL. Probably just jumping the gun.

so has it been officially called or still waiting?

Still waiting. I think all optimism that this game will continue has left the building.

I am in Phoenix today and can't get an update, any news on game being called or trying to resume?

I think the Umps are still desperately hoping that they can get 1 more inning in.

Thanks

There going to get 1 inning in tonight basically because no team wants to give up an offday. Most nights that game would barely be under way at this point.

I hope that's what they're thinking.

More rain is forming right on Boston. Unless they want to wait 2 or 3 more hours, today's offensive explosion will not count.
