But would you agree if they threw the tarp on the field before Flower's at bat?

 

I wouldn't have wanted the game to resume at 10pm regardless of the score.

I think throwing the tarp out on the field while the team that's behind has the tying run on base is an absolute last resort, regardless of whether the Sox are the team that's ahead or behind.

Hmmmmmm. Have to mull that one over.

Don't forget it slowed down for about 5 minutes after they dried the field off, and then it started to rain hard after Wise's single.

The game has importance for the first-place White Sox, who are seeking their seventh perfect homestand of six or more games in franchise history. Before taking the first two games against the Mariners, the Sox swept the Yankees.

 

Not only that, but you have two teams that are playing on a Sunday getaway day and both need to get out of Chicago.

 

Delay too long, and it could affect the White Sox tmrw against the Orioles...although it would be a pretty lame excuse, it's not just a tiny detail, either.

Radar looks like garbage. I think we may have a W by 7:00.

It would also be interesting if the Cubs resumed play, but we didn't.

 

Or vice-versa.

 

Quite a different feeling from last Sunday. Can't believe we could be 16 games over .500 a week later, sweeping the Yanks and the hottest (granted, against weaker teams) team in baseball in the M's.

Unfortunately, I think the score of the game has a lot to do with the wait.

 

If it were a 4-run lead in either direction, it would probably be over.

I don't see why they are even waiting at Wrigley. A five run game with 3 outs to go between two 5th place teams. Just call that s***.

 

On your 2nd point, the best part is that the Tigers went 5-1 this week and could potentially lose a game in the standings to the Sox.

Quite the interesting series for this umpiring crew

Not sure when it happened, but the Cubs went final early.

Plus you don't want to risk the possibility of injuring one of the best Sox relievers on a mound dappled with clay and bad foot landing spots.

If the team that's behind tells the umps that they just want to get the f*** out of town, they'll go ahead and call that game. My guess is that Colorado did this and apparently, Seattle has not.

I'm bummed, I was hoping Chris Volstad would get closer to Anthony Young's streak, but he finally got a W today

Just looked at the radar again.

 

What are they thinking? Just call it.

Yeah. I've got a few things to do before Breaking Bad is on.

Does SEA not play tmrw?

At Twins

Like I was saying before I was admonished...we swept 2 teams in a row! yay us!

Does SEA not play tmrw?

 

Tomorrow night at MIN, so their flight isn't any longer than the Sox' flight.

I know they say it's in the umps hands, but I have to wonder if the Tigers are calling the league and b****ing right now.

 

This has been bothering me for a long time, and I kept meaning to ask, but somehow always forgot to- who is that in your avatar?

Didn't they lose a game last month that got called early?

f*** the tigers....
