Sale versus the rookie.

 

I have tickets, is this game even going to happen?

6/8 GDT Houston Astros @ Chicago White Sox

 

Tonight should be a spectacular pitchers duel between the Astros' Lance McCullers and the Sox's Chris Sale. McCullers' owns a 2-0 record with a very low 1.88 ERA in 4 starts this season. In his last start he threw a complete game allowing 1 run in a victory over the Orioles. Chris Sale comes into the game with a 5-2 record with a 3.27 ERA in 10 starts. In his last start Sale threw 31 sliders and was dominant once again. This should be a low scoring game with the Sox pulling it out late once McCullers leaves the game and the bullpen takes over.

Combine with Condors please admins.

Ok, will this game be happening?

Thanks for combining

It's hailing where I am, who knows if this game will even happen.

I really didn't want to start one though...

I have Diamond Box seats between the Sox dugout and the plate; this game had better f***ing happen.

Anyone know if Correa is playing tonight? Would be a hell of a test against Sale though.

 

Oh and they promoted Velasquez as well. Astros pulling a Cubs and bringing up the future.

I heard last night that he was gonna make his ML debut tonight vs Sale but I have not seen a lineup posted for the Astros yet

Yeah, the rain is supposed to stop soon

He is hitting sixth

Man the weather map does not look good. I would hate to travel all the way down there and the game is f***ing cancelled.

It looks like the storms will be mostly gone by the start of the game, but you never really know for sure

I don't think this weather is sticking around, but there is the indoor Canadian soccer game scheduled for tonight too- haven't we seen the Sox postpone a game not too long ago because of "weather", with the real reason being another Chicago team playing in a higher profile sporting event?

Canadian soccer took me way too long to get.

 

 

Im heading up to stadium club to watch the sox and I was hoping they'd have the draft on too...but now I'm thinking it'll be all hawks. Ugh

I'm not seeing it. There are on and off thunderstorms throughout the evening.

One way or another, it can't go any longer than 5 more. It will all be over soon, mercifully.

Moment of truth... do I go home or go to the game?

The rain in Bridgeport has stopped for now, but it still looks a bit ominous to the east...

Just saw Astros pitcher Chad Qualls check out the seat where Paul Konerko's World Series grand slam landed. Qualls gave it up.

Grounds crew removing the tarp. The #Sodfather Roger Bossard says he doesn't expect any more significant rain.

MLB.com game of the day

It is going to be rain delay theater now.
