March 29, 201115 yr I agree April baseball sucks. I went to the Saturday game of Opening Week 2006 and the wind chill was 20 degrees. It was the coldest game I have ever been to in my life. Absolutely no fun, for fans or the players.
March 30, 201115 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) Glad to know I'm not the only crazy one who wants this to happen! It's really not even crazy. The baseball season is ridiculously long -- probably unnecessarily long. Granted teams would never go for it since they would make less money even with the small crowds.
March 30, 201115 yr Two things that won't happen ... Cutting games off the schedule and more scheduled double-headers. Both are counterproductive to profits.

They could schedule the day/night doubleheaders, but the problem is it would probably have to be on a weekend and TV could be a problem with game 1, and they don't want to do it on Sunday either.

March 31, 201115 yr I say deal with the weather. It's two weeks of s***ty weather. It's also two weeks sooner that real baseball starts. If it gets postponed by a day or two, that's better than having it postponed by 14 days. I also disagree with October not being a baseball month. I think October is a great month for baseball. I think November is a poor month for baseball. They should really be able to schedule the season so that, even if a series every round went the max, you can still get Game 7 of the World Series in October. Also, the MLB season is really nothing compared to the NBA season. There are more games played, but there are like 8 months in total of the basketball season, which is a full month more than baseball. I find that to be excessive.

March 31, 201115 yr The whole first series will be cold, but the best chance for precip is Saturday. Opening Day looks safe. Kansas City looks good next Tuesday and Wednesday, and the current forecast for Chicago next Thursday is Cloudy and 58.

March 31, 201115 yr At least Sale, Thornton, and Sergio are having some fun w/ this snow..... http://www.csnchicago.com/03/31/11/Sox-Dra...&feedID=661 Don't hurt yourself boys!

That is one snowball fight I would hate to be part of. With an average snowball of like 95? No chance.

It makes me nervous to hear those guys risking their arms throwing anything but baseballs. Please be careful! I was all for Mark tarp diving, but take it easy with the arms!

I was all for Mark tarp diving, but take it easy with the arms! I love this kind of stuff, honestly. I'd like to see as much as I can because I think we have some great personalities on this team and I like my players having personalities. I also love the snowball remnants on the side of Sergio's head!
April 1, 201115 yr I thought that was great. Guys having fun with each other. If their arms cant handle throwing some snowballs around, then they don't deserve to be on the roster. It's not like they were throwing them 100 mph...they were just "soft" tossing it at each other. Build that Bullpen chemistry...boyyys.
