POSTPONED?!?!?!??!

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Total buzzkill, but on the plus side it gives me a chance to slack off on a Friday afternoon now.

For the last 2 weeks, I've been counting down the days till Opening Day. I woke up today all geared to watch the Orioles, only to find that the game was postponed. I get that it's only a day until tomorrow, but it's still a let down.

The average temp in Boston in April is 56 degrees.    That’s not freezing cold.

Pssssssssht, that's golfing weather... my kid is super pissed. He has no concept of rainouts. 

Similarly, I have no concept of non-rain rainouts.

I dunno about anyone else here but when I see a game that's been postponed, there's like a 2 second period after where I'm like, "They mean delayed, right?  They're still gonna play today, right?  Doesn't postponed mean the same thing as...ah, wait, no it doesn't..."

Look on the bright side, with the Nats also cancelled, at least MASN executives get to skip one more day of paying the electric bill. They'll just turn the lights on tomorrow instead.

They're playing in snow in Detroit.

I just threw up in my mouth a little seeing Darren O’Day in Yankees pinstripes as he warmed up in their pen. 

[HowAboutThat]

First error of the season on the yanks, hahaha

 

Grrrr called a hit.

Wut? I didn't know this and now I feel ill. I'll just think of it as O'Day is deep undercover and will sabotage the Yankees' season at a most opportune time.

MICHAEL KAY: ) Aaron Judge has never had a walk-off hit as a Yankee ...... he had a chance just now with runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, and he struck out.

Why are we acting like someone's pulling something here?

I'm guessing the Red Sox want to be extra cautious with inclement weather given the reduced capacity (12%) at Fenway right now and the less-than-modern architecture (wouldn't be good PR to have everyone crowded together in the concourse)
