You are one dumb idiot... McKinney getting 4 hits yesterday does not make him good. Maybe Hockey is a better sport for you to watch. We need better players in the Outfield then McKinney

 

Exactly

These are fighting words!!

 

This calls for a rain delay Battle Royale death match!

 

Each contestant will have 5 mins from the time of their opponents post to talk serious smack about the other. The Board will decide with votes (liking a post) who the winner is.

 

Lettheballfly goes first.

 

This death by internet match is brought to you by the fine folks at Graveman’s funeral homes. When it is time to die, choose Gravemans.

I sure picked a good day to travel to Chicago and watch the Jays. Hopefully tomorrow and the Cubs game on Monday are drier.

Unlucky mate, hope you stayed dry at least!

 

[Abomination]

They said the game will continue "shortly". Still appears to be raining pretty good though.

I'm still here. They announced that the game will resume, White Sox players stirring in the bullpen.

[JFD]

Cancelled.

[Abomination]

Yep, that's how our year has been going.

[Grant77]

White Sox game day staff isi ridiculous. They announced 3 times that the game would resume and it stopped raining half an hour ago. Why is it cancelled?

The hopeful answer is that there's a bunch of new storms popping up.

The cynical answer is because they're winning.

The likely answer is a combination of both.

 

On the plus side, at least our bullpen got the day off.

I'm a little West of the park now, but we've got blue skies. They absolutely could have finished this game.

No we lost

The actual correct answer is that the umpires deemed the field as unplayable:

 

Gregor Chisholm

@gregorMLB 4h·

Montoyo said the umpires ruled that the field was no longer playable because of all the rain. #BlueJays were the ones who requested MLB wait as long as it did because Montoyo wanted to give his team a chance to come back.

Correct, the home team gets to declare the conditions are unsafe to play in, until the lineup cards are handed over, then the crew chief has the power

the weather report was... good effort?

the weather report was... good effort?

 

It was something all right.

[M.E.]

Did a pitcher on the jAys staff actually get a CG today? ;-)

[Grant77]

Down by the ballpark, looks clear right now but storms coming part way through the game they said.

Hopefully they will be able to sneak in another 4.5 innings game.

 

The less we see of this horrible baseball team the better. Following it is just an obligation at this point

Depends on the score... If they are losing, just a shower.. If they are up after 5.. Torrential rain.. need to call it!

I wanted to try their new section. There is a bar adjacent to the Jays bullpen. We had a good chat with Alex Andreopoulos and Joe Biagini during the 5th inning and Ken Giles gave my nephews a ball during the stretch.
