Has anyone heard this? I saw somebody post something that they hope the Sox make up their minds on when they're going to have it Mon or Tues?

 

I can't find any info anywhere, so I'm guessing there isn't much to it, but wanted to check with the peeps here in the know.

It's snowing on Monday and Tuesday according to weather.com. Yuck.

Looking at Tom Skilling's 7 day forecast, Tuesday doesn't look much better than Monday.

Tues, is going to be sunny and a high of 38 as of now.

I don't think they'll call it for only being cold. It's going to have to be rainy or snowy as well.

 

The temps on Tuesday won't be much better, so if it's 35 degrees on Monday, so be it. Play ball.

I agree....I can't see them moving it. If it was another game fine...but this is opening day....Ya can't just pull the old switcheroo.

I've heard no such mention of moving the game to Tuesday anywhere. 35? Snow? Opening Day a normal Monday game, who cares? There would have to be 3 inches plus on the ground for them to cancel a regular season game.

They'll frequently cancel an April game and say it was for the "cold", when it is really a matter of attendance. There's no such attendance issues on opening day, so unless it's REALLY crappy, they'll play ball.

Just happened to listen to the Score update and nothing, I imagine as the flagship they would be on top of it.

By Sunday night they will have a better handle of what to expect Monday. That may be decision time. Lets all hope the system gets here early & moves out ahead of schedule.

i have monday off to go and don't know if i can take tuesday off as well. They better play!

With the way the weather forecast is, I'd be stunned if they played Monday.

I hope it gets delayed a few hours so that I can watch it after work.

The Sodfather was on the Score this morning. He said they will try to get the game in. The only way they won't is if there is 4 inches or more of snow. They asked him why no Tues and said its looks the same as Mon.

 

Now I own a car wash and watch the weather close. For almost 5 days it has been 80% to 100% of rain/snow for mon. It has been 20% to 30% of rain on tues and as of now 10% with it being 8 to 10 degrees warmer. Sounds like they will try to play this game no matter what.

 

He said that Kenny, Jerry and Sod will meet at 8 on mon to discuss it.

Yep, I took Monday off of work months ago. Tuesday is not an option. Play Ball! By the way, opening day should be a national holiday.

A decision on whether the White Sox and Royals will play Monday's first game of the season at U. S. Cellular Field will be made that morning.

 

"The only decision made [sunday] is that we're going to try to play Monday," said head groundskeeper Roger Bossard. "We'll meet at 8 o'clock [Monday morning] and make a decision. With the weather here, you never know."

 

Bossard said he was not worried about "an inch or two" of snow because it can be melted with the field's irrigation system. The forecast for Tuesday's scheduled day off "is not that much better," according to Bossard.

 

this is why they need to just schedule some double headers and shorten the length of the season, remember when Clevelands entire first series 2-years ago with the Mariners was snowed out. I know the owners will never do it for revenue purposes but they should, have a few Saturday day/night DH.

They can't shorten the season cause of monetary reasons. It's too late to even think that.

As far as weather, you never ever know. s*** it was almost 80 degrees in KC a couple weeks ago. It's been in the 70s a lot and now it's 35 with sleet. You just don't know. And the season actually is starting later this year.

By almost a week...

 

Tuesday it's just supposed to be flurries while on Monday it's supposed to be snow. I bet they cancel and play Tuesday.

I almost wish MLB schedulers would just take into account that Chicago weather sucks in early April and schedule the Sox on the road until mid-April. Then maybe the Sox could get a nice homestand later in the season

Yup. I remember being at a game in 2006 the first week and the wind chill was -20. It was totally effin miserable. The rumor was they were going to move it to Milwaukee inside the dome, but it never happened. They should have.

it really isn't that hard to avoid Chicago, New York, Boston,Cleveland,Detroit,etc. the first few weeks if they just did it right. schedule all dome and warm weather cities as the first week games. of course people would b**** still when the weather is perfect and there is no baseball. its really a no win situation.

In 2000, the Sox actually opened at night. I think it was a 6 pm start. It was around 80 degrees that day.

2000 they were in Seattle....cuz I watched that game on ESPN, Buehrle had blond hair and faced Sweaty Freddy.
