Nice, 39 and a chance of rain. Perfect baseball weather - NOT.
Heck, play the first month of the season in FLA/ARIZ. They were already down there to start with. Enough already,!
Snowing now in Boston. Lovely baseball weather.

Why not just open the season in stadiums that have domes or in warm weather cities that don't. That way you can get t he games in. Playing in snow is stupid, and just who made up the schedule that plays games in Chicago and Minnesota in early and mid April? How about a little ingenuity and brain power to eventually work this out for next season so this farce doesn't keep repeating itself.?
I just saw something that said 5 inches on the ground at Fenway. That could wipe out the weekend if it stays cold.
It seems that this year has been very strange in terms of the Sox having so many games at home and then in Minnesota. Then again it is the middle of April. It's nice and sunny and in the upper 60's here!
49F in Boston tomorrow and 56F on Sunday, so it won't stay cold. And with it changing over to rain now, the snow will mostly be gone, but the ground will be a mess. They really need to postpone the game tonight. Who knows if they will.
Postponed. No surprise there.
QuoteThe Red Sox postponed Friday’s series opener with the Chicago White Sox as a nor’easter continued to pelt the region.
The Red Sox were set to open their longest homestand of the season, with 10 games in 10 days against the White Sox, the Blue Jays, and the Mariners.
The game will instead be played as part of a split doubleheader on Sunday. First pitch will be at 5:10 p.m., with gates opening at 4:25 p.m. â€" 45 minutes before first pitch.
Sunday’s previously scheduled game will still begin at 1:10 p.m.

So two games on Sunday. We'll see if the SPs just shift up a game. These PPD games are a pain to keep up with.
