April 24, 200817 yr Looks like a lot of rain tonight (Figures huh?), unfortunately i'll be driving to the game from Peoria I wonder what stubhub's policy is on rainouts, if i can get a refund without even driving up there, or if they'll only refund if the game is PPD. Just don't wanna drive 2.5 hours (5 hours total) for absolutely no point Edited April 24, 200817 yr by joesaiditstrue
April 24, 200817 yr I think this is the Yankees only trip to town this year. They will do everything possible to get the game in.
April 24, 200817 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 24, 2008 -> 07:06 AM) If it happens, it couldn't come at a better time for the Sox. I disagree. This team is not the 2007 team. They got down 6-1 last night but still came back, and they will be better off if they can take one game in the series. Its not as if the Yanks are a far better team than the Sox - I am not sure they are better at all.

Its not as if the Yanks are a far better team than the Sox - I am not sure they are better at all. I didn't say they were better. But when your team's not playing very well, skipping a game would be a good thing. If the Sox were hot I'd say it couldn't come at a worse time.

April 24, 200817 yr I'm goin. I hope they play. I'd say stabbing out a win before they leave would put us in a nice mindset for Baltimore.

If the Sox were hot I'd say it couldn't come at a worse time. On the other hand, if the game gets in, wouldn't we get a chance to see Gavin take on the Yankees? The way he's been pitching, I'd think we'd want to keep giving him challenges to work on the whole confidence thing.
April 24, 200817 yr But, they always say the best thing about baseball is when you lose, you don't have time to dwell on it 'cause the next game is only a day away. That would be a good enough reason to get this game in today. Have this team in a winning state of mind when the birds fly into town.
April 24, 200817 yr QUOTE (JFields27 @ Apr 24, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) I dont think it'll rain tonight, tomorrow for sure tho Its already raining right now, at least on the north side of the city.
April 24, 200817 yr Pourin in the suburbs. I see how skipping this game at a time when we're playing like trash can be a good thing, but having another day to dwell on getting punk'd by a Mike Mussina (right after blowing a W the day before) probably doesn't do great things for the confidence. From a fans perspective, it sucks too. One more day to savor the unsavorable. I'd rather see them get it in.
April 24, 200817 yr Looking at the radar, it appears that it might be moving out in about an hour and a half. That would make for a 45 min or so rain delay. Unless the field is absolutely soaked, I imagine that they could get it in.
