There it is! The out that makes this drenched game official!
Is it wrong to be so happy about this?

No, not at all. In fact, it brings to mind this game ("That's what you get for building a stadium by the ocean"-- Oil Can Boyd).Mistake by the lake

Attendance: 6661

Sometimes I forget that "Major League" was actually based on a true story.

[amlothi]

Way to go umps, wait until someone almost gets hurt before you bring the tarp out.

[Max Power]

Fuck it. That's plenty of baseball tonight.

[strek1]

This delay may be for the best. Either they will just call it after a short while, or at least when they resume another Sox pitcher will take over giving Beckett the rest of the night off.

[Ananias]

Ok, this still confuses me. Since they started the top of the sixth, do they have to finish it or can they retroactively call it after 5? I know this has only happened a million times, I'm slow.

[phragle]

a 78 pitch win could help Josh in the end.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Smoltz has tendinitis in his right shoulder. Scratched from next start.

This is very solid analysis. Thank you for the insight.

Good. If he's not gonna pitch well for us, he shouldn't be pitching well for anyone.

The sad thing is, the attendance was probably exaggerated.

[Barbara]

I believe minor league umps have to wait 45 minutes before they call the game.

Well, that was a fairly brief deal with Satan.

SUSPENDED GAMES.
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the following reasons:
(1) A curfew imposed by law;
(2) A time limit permissible under league rules;
(3) Light failure or malfunction of a mechanical field device under control of the home club. (Mechanical field device shall include automatic tarpaulin or water removal equipment);
(4) Darkness, when a law prevents the lights from being turned on;
(5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead; or
(6) It is a regulation game that is called with the score tied. National Association Leagues may also adopt the following rules for suspended games. (If adopted by a National Association League, Rule 4.10(e) would not apply to their games.):
(7) The game has not become a regulation game (41/2 innings with the home team ahead, or 5 innings with the visiting club ahead or tied).
(8) If a game is suspended before it becomes a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game with be limited to seven innings.
(9) If a game is suspended after it is a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game will be a nine inning game.

Gotta read the fine print.

[strek1]

If they do resume I imagine there will be VERY few fans left in the park. It's after 11 EST after all.

Looks like Seattle is handling Texas well. 8-3 in the 8th.

That, or Smoltz just changed the terms of his deal, and he gets to beat Tiger then next time they hit the links together.

Wait a minute, isn't LaRussa drinking buddies with Satan (isn't that how he got rid of Josh Hancock?)

[martybarrettoverdrive]

According to Weather.com, there is a near certainty that this game is over.

It's not officially the "Post game" yet.

[hellborn]

It's not officially the "Post game" yet.

Rice dead on about Gonzalez though: Has some pop on offense and brings the sweet D.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Rain delay in Texas. Two on nobody out, bottom of the ninth, Rangers down by five. And I got the feeling its raining worse there than it is here. Helluva time to stop play.

Kickass 5 innings of baseball if I ever saw em.

[strek1]

EXCELLENT Dirty Water. That's a few less Innings we need out of the pen this weekend.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Missed a chance to totally rip their pen to shreds tonight with the rain, but, well, their pen's already in shreds.

[PeaceSignMoose]

This is me being ignorant, but does Beckett get a CG for this? People in the middle of fantasy baseball playoffs want to know!

Yes

[SemperFidelisSox]

Eventually they will finish that game in Texas and the Mariners will win. The lead will then be 3.

Big day tomorrow. King Felix going for the Mariners and a doubleheader against a dead team. Laad could be 4.5 if everything goes right.

[Rick V]

With a double header scheduled for tomorrow, it was a Godsend that we didn't have to use anyone from our pen this evening.

I love that we beat the shit out of the Rays and that the wheels have completely fallen off for that team. Their fans are unbelievably classless. Why the hell did Longoria sign a 6 year deal with a team that has a limited payroll, a pathetic ballpark, and almost no fan support???

[chester]

Funny comment from Beckett quoting Schilling about going 5 innings and kissing your sister or something to that effect.

Good to see Beckett headed in the right direction. And nice that he only has to go 5 so we can keep his innings down, and the pen's innings down during the stretch run.

Oh yeah the offense rocked. Lets keep it up.

Dirty Water

A 22 year old kid getting 17.5 MIL guaranteed? That'll do it, when you have like 2 weeks of mlb service time.

I wonder if their payroll problems might make him available soon...

[shoebox91]

rangers game called....they lose 8-3

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Is this sarcasm? Did you forget your sign?

[SoxScout]

sarcasm, i hope
