Chisoxfn Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ May 12, 2005 -> 07:57 AM) The wont double here.. they will double in Baltimore in late July. Wouldn't they want to double here cause the Sox would be losing out on revenue if they waited. Unless of course the Sox somehow get the ticket sales from then. I just figure they'll do all they can to get all 4 games played here. MLB rarely has a team play an extra road game unless it has to (for example if the weather is bad this entire weekend and one or two games get cancelled, then they'll try and make something for it). Heck, a lot of the time they'll even schedule a game on an off day (something I hate cause it puts teams all out of whack). Hopefully all the games get in and its nothing to worry about cause double dips can be a bummer especially if you end up getting a couple in a row (murders your pitching staff).

southsider2k5 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 QUOTE(retro1983hat @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Thanks 2K5, that was more of the point I was making. Also, the more people that are at the park, the less the attendance talk is an issue. Would rather hear about the team, than the attendance. Preach on brother!

Anything is possible.. but it's supposed to rain here tonight, tomorrow night, and Saturday. They wont double on Sunday because it's get away day. All depends on the weather I suppose.

Although If the weather is nice on Sunday they could try to squeeze in two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Not a chance of a double on Sunday. Baltimore will never agree to a double on get away day.. nor should they. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Monday is an off day for Baltimore, they play in KC on Tuesday nite. Personally I don't think any of this will come into play, the weather forecasts I'm seeing makes it seem like scattered bad weather vs. a consistent mess. But seeing as the Orioles are off Monday, squeezing in two is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orioles would likely choose to play two vs. making a seperate trip to Chicago. I doubt the Sox would give up the home game and play it in Baltimore.

DABearSoX Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) I am sitting in an office building downtown chitown right now. As of now it is very lightly raining....i dont think they are gonna call the game, if they started it right now they would play acctually after looking out the window, the sun is peaking through the clouds....

SoxFan562004 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 just looked at the radar on weather.com... it looks like it will stop pretty much all rain for awhile, which will allow the field to drain for a few hours. Then there's a band in mid to eastern Iowa, but that's all basically light green, meaning light showers. I think they'll play tonight.
