caulfield12 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 They sold parking and concessions tonight, right? Guess they probably still lost money based on the costs of all those workers just to show up and wait around for a couple of hours at least, security, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) JR's lame ass is trending on twitter. I feel sorry for kids in Chicago man trying to come up as sox fans. this is not what us 30-55 or so folks aged knew as the product, as insufferable as JR was otherwise. This is unfathomable levels of bad. Edited August 28 by chitownsportsfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 48 minutes ago, Milkman delivers said: No, this just gifted the Sox at least one win. Double headers are almost always split. It’s already happened a couple times this year. True. I was just thinking that they get at least one automatic win. There's hope of losing both, though, if Texas can take game one. Sox might squeeze out a win. A Sox sweep would be wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 It was mind-boggling that they allowed the game to start at all. The radar showed a huge, severe storm slowly heading toward the area. And on the broadcast you could see the pitch black sky in the background. Then they post on Twitter that "unexpected" thunderstorms caused the game to be suspended. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went from clear and hot/muggy until dusk straight to a T storm warning with possible damage alerts and I was watching the news and every weather anchor seemed unsure of where it all was going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 It absolutely sucks how the Sox always deal with these things though, which is an immediate concessions cash grab 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegionSox Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Yeah those storms popped up out of nowhere. There was a crazy amount of lightning all night too by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have largely come “out of nowhere” but 4 pitches is insane incompetence. You’re telling me they didn’t have 2’ of warning? That doesn’t seem entirely plausible. There’s a reason it’s the first game in league history suspended before a single out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was insane. I live on the Near North Side. Right before 7, it was sunny and there was a cicada right by my bedroom window. It was so loud, i thought it might be inside. Then I spotted him on the small window ledge below my window. I didn't want to take out the screen to shoe him away so I pounded on the glass. That just made him louder. 2 minutes later he was pounded by hail and he scrammed. Edited August 28 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I’m just saying…it’s the first time it’s…ever happened. Not surprising that it happens in a game hosted by the most dysfunctional organization in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I’m with Rusty. Although I thought that front moved in incredibly fast, any reason to s%*# on this organization is a good one. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Flexen allows his customary 3 base runners per inning and gives up a run. Could have been worse, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
