There is no joy in Mudville.Somewhere it is, but not here.
It’s going to be interesting if they delay this. I don’t think either team wants a day night double at this point and o Mo don’t think there are more common off daysIf the game was at normal time tomorrow, it’s probably played. With it at 1pm, I don’t know. I’m three hours away from NYC, we’re supposed to get 1.5 to 2 inches of rain from overnight to tomorrow.
Unless the Yankees are dead set against playing after sundown tomorrow, I don't see why they won't get it in. It may not start right at 1, but the rain should be more or less over by mid-afternoon. A 4:00 start seems ideal from all sides (good chance to be done by sundown) and unlikely to encounter any weather issues.It’s going to be interesting if they delay this.

I dont see why they wouldnt play tomorrow night. I respect that they are trying to respect a holiday, but if weather forces the issue, its not like the tickets arent already sold.Unless the Yankees are dead set against playing after sundown tomorrow, I don't see why they won't get it in.

Mookie needs one more stolen base to make the 30/30 club (first time for him). JD needs to gain 2 points in BA so he and Mookie (that guy again) can be only the fifth or sixth pair of teammates ever to hit 30+ HR and .330+ in the same season. Not much else to play for. More team wins I guess.Hateful, hateful autumn rain.
Xander getting 100 RBI would be cool.Mookie needs one more stolen base to make the 30/30 club (first time for him).

You’re right. 100 RBI. Go Xander.Xander getting 100 RBI would be cool.
(YES I KNOW RBI IS A FUNCTION OF OTHER PLAYERS DOING THEIR JOBS AHEAD OF YOU AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU HAD A GOOD SEASON, ETC. ETC.)
I'm calling a walkoff granny in the last Sox AB of the year.You’re right. 100 RBI. Go Xander.
Those guys can rest until March as far as I'm concernedMore rest for Pomeranz, Thornburg , and Robby Scott!
What position do you want them to transition to?Those guys can rest until March as far as I'm concerned
The announcement I saw earlier said doubleheader tomorrow.Doubleheader Wednesday or just play one less game??
The announcement I saw earlier said doubleheader tomorrow.
What I don't understand is that the game really has no implications on the rest of the season. The Red Sox' position is secure (#1 record in MLB). The Orioles have nothing to play for, they're locked into the #1 draft spot next June. Why are they bothering to squeeze it in?
I think the default is "get all the games played." If today was the last game of the series, etc., they wouldn't reschedule it.The announcement I saw earlier said doubleheader tomorrow.

Bobble heads.Not to belabor the obvious: Money.
what's wrong with October 1st?Red Sox should ask for permission to play it next Tuesday or Wednesday. To delay his firing Buck would go along, but all the O's players already have plane reservations.
This is one of those times where I'll gladly take no game.Damnit. Now we have to wait until Tuesday.
Have you considered trying a CPAP machine?At least now I can get some sleep and lower my blood pressure after Craigfest
LOL, been using one for years.Have you considered trying a CPAP machine?
Whoa. I had not considered this possibility.The last off day of the year? Just got to win a 3-game set at Chavez Ravine to make it so.
Hopefully, it will only take the first two.The last off day of the year? Just got to win a 3-game set at Chavez Ravine to make it so.
Off days? You can have all those you want now.Please sir, can I have some more?
Good that they wrapped it up Sunday, making for 2 or 3 days more days to rest up for next year. Hey, some people think one reason it’s so hard to repeat is the extra grind playing all of October, on top of the six months of regular season. Every little bit helps.Opening day 149 days away
Such an advantage to have them start after the US like that. Sox will be well-rested and able to set the rotation against the (likely) Carp. I like our chances in the Amazon 'True' World Series!They’re only 2 games into the Japan Series, with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp leading Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks 1-0-1...and the Arizona Fall League goes until November 17.
Winter ball in the Dominican is well underway, too.
Baseball never goes away...
