Wow that Cardinals guy was amazing, talk about being in the right place at the right time.

[WayneHousieHOF]

One thing I can't imagine the Sox would want would be to eventually start the game, have it get called after 3 or 4 innings and then lose schilling for another 4/5 days. That would be unacceptable.

[Southpaw67]

With the radar showing rain all the way from Albany to Boston, it's not looking too promising
Oh NOAA!!!
I think the best we can hope for is that the Baltimore/MFY game gets postponed until tomorrow as well. Then at least both our rotations are screwed up.

[DJnVa]

Is there anyone in the Yanks rotation that is as able as Wakefield is to come back on short rest?

Guesses as to the MFY rotation if they get rained out?

[PedroKsBambino]

Then at least both our rotations are screwed up.

It's ironic both are in rain delays right now. The winner of all this?

The Cleveland Indians, who are probably watching 'Major League' right now!

[RedSoxFan]

1:05 pm on Tuesday?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Would the DH be tommorow? Not Thursday?

Randy could probably go on 3 days rest, so nothing would really need to change.

[trekfan55]

One bad thing: The MFY do have Mussina, Johnson, Wang, Chacon, Wright, Small, and Leiter. That makes 7 pitchers, so while not an ideal situation, they could easily leave their 3 desired pitchers for the Boston series out of this one and play the 4 games against Baltimore using the other 4. In the case of Boston, if there is a doubleheader tomorrow, one of the games would maybe have to be started by Dinardo.

[soxfaninyankeeland]

Aaron Small is already scheduled to pitch Thursday game. Wright has run out of chances. No way they'll throw Leiter.

[jacklamabe65]

Sterling just said on the Yankee broadcast that if the Red Sox and/or Yankees are rained out, both games will be made up next Monday afternoon. He sounded as if he had talked to MLB officials before saying it.

[DJnVa]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why wouldn't Schilling and Wakefield pitch? Then Schilling pitches Sunday on normal rest.

Really?

Then we could have a makeup game on Monday, a 1 game division playoff on Tuesday, and 1 game WC playoff on Wednesday?

Yikes. Lenny DiNardo in Game 1 of the ALDS.

[PedroKsBambino]

A makeup game next Monday would suck. It's such a pefect end of the season as it is!

But I can certainly see why they'd go that way---it's a mess to put a doubleheader into the last week.

[OilCanShotTupac]

Just looking at the NOAA site. . . rain is a lot lighter in Baltimore than Boston, and there's much less rain off to the west (in Baltimore). If I had to bet money, I would say that the NYY-BAL game gets in tonight, and ours doesn't. Which sucks, of course.

MLB really should, given the way everything stands right now, make sure either both are played or both arent. It would be a travesty given the schedule and standings if it comes down any other way.

[Southpaw67]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Do you really think he could go on 3 days rest? I mean, he's being held together with spit and glue at this point isn't he?

If the MFYs need to re-shuffle and use their 'lesser' pitchers against BAL, we might hold out the hope that the Birds actually manage to win a game or two. Then even though the MFYs come into the weekend aligned as they wanted to be, they're maybe back a game or so...wishful thinking?
Yeah. But it's all I got

[On the DLowe]

Sox/Jays game is postponed per mlb.com. Any confirmation from radio or tv?

[DJnVa]

MLB really should, given the way everything stands right now, make sure either both are played or both arent. It would be a travesty given the schedule and standings if it comes down any other way.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Are you saying that MLB should not allow the MFYs to play because we're rained out?

[soxfaninyankeeland]

  In the case of Boston, if there is a doubleheader tomorrow, one of the games would maybe have to be started by Dinardo.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

On the opening of the NESN broadcast, Remy/Orsillo said that the plan was to pitch Schilling and Wakefield in any DH. Wakefield would then start Sat. on 3 days rest, and then Schilling on Sunday.

And I bet Sterling didn't talk to anybody before he spouted that "Monday makeup" shit, just because he's a blowhard. MLB has as many playoff possibilities as they have ever had, I doubt they'll make these up on Monday.

[PedroKsBambino]

It doesn't look bad now in Somerville...have they shown a shot from Fenway?

I guess with the radar looking bad they don't want to start and then stop, either.

[DJnVa]

The Yankees are going to play tonight...the radar shows the line of showers exiting that area soon.

[15'sCementShoes]

GAmeday just switched the banner to postponed. Has it been officially called?

[LahoudOrBillyC]

We'll be in first place in four hours.

[normstalls]

Sox game is ppd.

DH tomorrow

[PedroKsBambino]

The downside of waiting for Monday, as has been noted, is that it's truly unfair IF there's also a playoff tie potentially. Asking a team to play a regular season game, then a one-game playoff, then next day the divsion series (potentially) is ridiculous.

Also, because it means sticking around an extra day, and an extra travel day for Tor, the "other" team (Balt/Tor) almost certainly will not raise a stink about a doubleheader this week---for some reason I feel like there's a player's association issue there, potentially. Could be wrong there.

[HeelDice]

ESPN says Jays-Sox postponed.

[Southpaw67]

I'm watching NESN right now, still no mention of postponement, just the usual replays.
???

[savage362]

NESN: Postponsed til tomorrow.

Yanks still in rain-delay.

[berstch]

redsox.com says postponed and dh tomorrow

[Southpaw67]

OK, TC just called it. Also mentioned that the NYY/BAL game is still on hold.

[RedSoxFan]

Damn classes will prevent me from watching the first game. I have to save the skip day for a possible 1pm playoff game.

Edited by RedSoxFan, 26 September 2005 - 06:47 PM.

[DJnVa]

Check the radar---I think that NYY/O's game is getting in.

http://www.weather.c..._animated&day=1

[PedroKsBambino]

Well, it is what it is.

One thing about a doubleheader is that it's pretty easy to see Toronto being less than 100% focused in the second game. But it doesn't matter---that's what the schedule now is, to just have to play it that way.

[Oogies Loogies]

No Schilling/Johnson on Saturday then if Yanks are still on tonight.

That blows.

[DJnVa]

At least I have an excuse to be less than productive at work tomorrow.

[PedroKsBambino]

Programming note: Fletch is on AMC tonight, in case anyone else is looking for background noise while following GameDay

[Southpaw67]

Great. I've been in a state of nervous excitement all day today. Now I have to suck it up until tomorrow, then have to endure several concentrated hours of nailbiting and angst.
Argh.

[normstalls]

Watched it last night for the 38th time...
I cant flip past that movie without staying right on it.

"Its all ball bearings now a days"

[Judge Mental13]

Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State

May this DH tomorrow be a funny sidenote to a story we remember when reminiscing about how we buried NY in the 2005 stretch drive years from now.

[rprociuk]

You'll be wearing rubber gloves. Do you own rubber gloves?
I rent 'em. I have a lease with an option to buy.

[jtn46]

Tarp coming off in Baltimore.

[BGrif21125]

Ya they should have no problem getting the game in. Rain seems to have cleared out of Baltimore completely, it was only lightly raining here in DC. Meanwhile, Comcast is playing a neverending Darryl Strawberry interview to kill time.

[OilCanShotTupac]

Jeter singles and ARod walks to start. Sweet jumping jeezus, Lopez, sack up would you please.

[epraz]

Ump's been squeezing lopez.

[jtn46]

They're going to delay this game again. It's really coming down.

[epraz]

Nice...slow it down, boys.

[jtn46]

Tarp's coming back on in Baltimore.

[NJ Fan]

It's pouring in Balt. Would've loved RJ to have thrown 2 innings 40+ pitches and have it called.
