Thank you for not violating game thread protocol.
The Red Sox will win tonight because I generally only get to watch the Friday games. And I'll be damned if some Guantanamo escapee (and Sooner) is going to ruin my week.

Good luck Pedro's, but I was always of the opinion that we should have gotten G38 to start all threads this year. He did OK last post-season.

Who IS David Purcey? "Pur-cey" kind of looks like a phoenetic spelling of the word "pussy" in the Sean Connery dictionary. Sean Connery thinks this man is a pussy and I agree. What choice do I have?

Purcey is a Sooner, so we have that going for us.
Oh, and he attended a high school (TCA) that kicked a kid out for being gay.

The Red Sox have just officially announced the start to tonight's 7:05 p.m. game has been delayed. However, they did not indicate at which point the contest might begin but it will depend on the rain. The forecast does not look promising. We will keep you informed.

Based on the current weather conditions, the Red Sox have just announced they hope to have the game begin at about 7:45 p.m. but said that was subject to change if the rain picks up.

Tarp has been taken off and they're saying they hope to start at 7:45. It's still raining but they will try to play anyway. It is in the hands of the ump crew chief Dana Demuth.

i think they'll try their darndest to get it in. I don't think they want to make these teams play 2 DH in a row.

From the angle I'm seeing, a lot of them look to be dead center. I don't know how long he'll get away with that.
Passed balls don't help. However I can sympathize with Cash.
