April 23, 201312 yr Author Dogs everywhere are pissed. Both teams have July 1st open after the weekend series here.
April 23, 201312 yr Chicago White Sox @whitesox 1m Any fans with tickets for tonight’s #DogDay festivities will be contacted by the @whitesox ticket office.
April 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) No bad White Sox baseball tonight Yay!
April 23, 201312 yr I could be wrong, but by 8 tonight, we could be wondering why they didn't play. But I guess making more money later in the year is more important.

But I guess making more money later in the year is more important. I applaud the White Sox for calling the game early. It is a grwat swrvice to their fans, and considering make up games don't draw so well as far as walk ups, they aren't making more money later. Also considering the game tomorrow is in the afternoon, waiting out rain delays is probably the last thing either team wants to do. Also it being dog night, calling it early makes a lot of sense.

April 23, 201312 yr Yeah, they did the right thing even if they could have started at 9 or something. Looks like the Tigers/Royals are in a delay. I don't know why they're even trying. edit: they called it. 17 postponed games in the last 14 days. Edited April 23, 201312 yr by flavum

April 24, 201312 yr The way they're playing right now has to be given at least SOME thought. I doubt the #1 consideration is avoiding a crowd below 10,000 and the resulting articles that will come with it. Isn't it the team's decision 100% to call the game....and from the time of the game on, it's at the head umpire's discretion? At least that's the way it used to work in the minor leagues.

April 24, 201312 yr I guess a day off is better than another loss, but if it would have been a win I miss being able to watch the game right now. I missed baseball too much over the off-season to get myself too worried right now about the s*** show. But it's not even a s*** show, the pitching has been there pretty much! Bats gotta come around eventually, I hope. Edited April 24, 201312 yr by ROC Sox Fan
