Well, the lucky fans who get to go to the game will have nicer weather. I took a day off for today, but I have to work tomorrow. Looks like I will be recording the game and keeping away from the radio and Soxtalk until I can watch it tomorrow night. I'm not too disappointed or anything. I have only been counting down to opening day for about three months.

I took half a day today and now I'm going to take half a day tomorrow

Why are Brian Anderson, Aaron Rowand and Joe Crede not on the banner?

 

Seriously, they should have their own Mt. Soxmore somewhere, painstakingly maintained by fanboys everywhere.

Do the edges of the graphic blend with the gray background of the header for you? The gray below the "S" should be the same as the gray to the left of it.

 

Is the guy on the far right Alesi? If so, why is he wearing the wrong helmet.

Its a shame they canceled the game today. I've been to games in far worse conditions. Tomorrow will be better supposedly, but just a hair. I feel for those who got screwed by this, but don't blame the White Sox for canceling yesterday. I think they need to walk away from Mr. overestimate, Tom Skilling. He used to be the master, now he just is extreme.

its going be hard get these games in and then a night game for thurs.

yeah it sucks. doesn't really make a difference for me. i just dont want to wait one more day!

Tomorrow is supposed to be high thirties and sunny:

I would think 3-5 degrees difference is nothing to the thousands that won't be able to make it, but once again, I don't blame the White Sox and actually applaude them making a decision sooner rather than later. I just think Skilling has lost his touch. He predicts extreme conditions more than anyone anymore. WGN was the weather group thinking as much as 6 inches on wet heavy snow, and there is no more than a dusting. I'm sure if they knew yesterday what they know now, there would have been a game today.

Comcast will show the Black Out one game playoff vs. the Twins instead for those of us with the day off today.

Sun = 15 to 20 degrees v. today's overcast

 

Also the snow that we got is more like an inch or two of slush. The field will be more playable tomorrow.

 

It is unfortunate for those that can't change their days off but I think it was for the best. I also hate the off day after Opening Day.

I think this is a pretty great substitute, I've got my DVR ready. A+, Comcast!

 

Makes me forget the days of Fox Sports Net, hah.

Its 37 right now and the Sun is trying to come out. The big snow wasn't so big, in fact downtown had nothing. There was a dusting on the dirt by my house on the Near North Side. There wasn't anymore than that all the way to USCF as I can see it out of my office. Tomorrow is supposed to be better, but not significantly. They received some bad information about today.

I love the day off after Opening Day specifically because of this situation. Instead of me not having tickets to the first game of the year, i still do. They already said they won't be opening the season with a double header, therefore those of us who (over)paid for opening day seats would be screwed. Instead, we just wait a day.

 

I just hate off days. What am I supposed to do in the spring/summer when the Sox aren't playing..?

Is Comcast putting all the games on OnDemand again this year? That was pretty awesome last year.

Agreed. They could have easily played today. They have played in much worse. I think with the off day on Tuesday they jumped the gun too quick.

At least there is some good news today. Hopefully Seattle and Toronto deliver similar results.

At least we were able to rest the bullpen.

What are the conditions supposed to be tomorrow, still cold I assume, but no chance of snow or rain?

Accuweather says a snow shower in the morning with a high of 40. I would think that not only the threat of precipitation, but the 35mph wind gusts factored into today's postponement. Tuesday was the lesser of two evils.

Possibly 50 and clear

Last I saw was high of 40, possible light snow in the AM, then partly to mostly sunny in the afternoon, and less windy than today. Winds out of the NW, which is out to CF.

 

Possibly 50 and clear

Where did you see 50?

 

supposed to be a lot less windy. I think that was the biggest factor in switching the day.
