    I love Remmy and DO soooooo much.
    The Dennis Leary bit is quite possibly my favorite thing ever :D

    Kyle Snyder is on the 7-Day DL for the PawSox.

    Daniel Bard is getting promoted from Greenville to Portland.

    Game 6 for the Green is getting underway in a few on ESPN.

    This weather map doesn’t look good either. Click the “animated loop” feature above the map to see the progress over the last two hours.

    Amazing that the NY game was called when their wetness factor was considerably less severe.

    The towels are out in full force in Cleveland tonight.

  6. 2008 May 16 at 8:09 pm

    ecl it rained here pretty good all day so I’m not surprised.

  7. 2008 May 16 at 8:10 pm

    From Amalie :D

    While it’s still raining, and there have been no updates on the rain situation, the TV schedule this weekend is complicating things even more.

    Because the Red Sox are playing on Fox tomorrow and on TBS on Sunday, that makes switching game times all but impossible. So the Sox likely wouldn’t be able to play a doubleheader either day (no games are allowed to go up against the Sunday night ESPN exclusive window).
    We’ve been looking at mutual off days on the schedule. There appears to be one on June 26, which would be at the end of a Sox homestand (before the team heads to Houston) and in between games in Atlanta and Minnesota for the Brewers. I doubt that would go over well with either team.

    That being said, it looks ugly around here, but there have been no announcements about this game being postponed tonight.

    There was a big cheer just now from the crowd on hand — the Celtics game was put up on the scoreboard in centerfield.

    I don’t care if the game starts at 10:30, I just want some baseball. Please.

    in the meantime- I’m caramelldansing.

  9. 2008 May 16 at 8:21 pm

    Ian, that schedule stuff sounds like a mess indeed!

  10. 2008 May 16 at 8:26 pm

    Rain, listen up. I need baseball, STAT (no pun intended).

    Also, OHMYGODRIZZO. He’s one of my favorite lower-level prospects. I hope his recovery goes well…

    I’m so sad it’s on rain delay. :( I’m babysitting and I don’t really have much else to do besides watch TV (I feel bad going all over the internet on someone else’s computer) and the kiddo is already in bed. I guess I could invade their DVR library… I think they have House. =D

  12. 2008 May 16 at 8:33 pm

    jayson werth has 3 home runs for the Phillies against the Jays and it’s only the 5th inning.

    Jayson Werth may be the skeeviest ballplayer around, but he can smack some taters for sure.

  14. 2008 May 16 at 8:35 pm

    Werth is on a Wroll.

    (Sorry, couldn’t resist…)

  15. 2008 May 16 at 8:39 pm

    GODDAMNIT.

    I really needed a game tonight :(

  16. 2008 May 16 at 8:43 pm

    My amateur weather opinion says it will be at least 10 PM before this thing starts. They didn’t have a chance to get the field ready plus the rain has at least another hour or so..

    Tonight’s game has been postponed due to rain.
    It will be played tomorrw in the second game of a split doubleheader (separate admission). First game at 3:55 p.m, second game at 8:35 p.m.
    If you’ve got tickets for last night’s game, they are good for the night game.
    Go home and get some sleep.

  18. 2008 May 16 at 8:43 pm

    Well at least it’s a Friday.

  19. 2008 May 16 at 8:44 pm

    Oops. That last one was me.

    Games banged until tomorrow night.

  20. 2008 May 16 at 8:44 pm

    Ian, are they really seriously going to play a game with a 3+ hour delay?

  21. 2008 May 16 at 8:44 pm

    Never mind.

  22. 2008 May 16 at 8:45 pm

    Oops — posted too soon. Ian, what are the chances that Game 2 will be carried on national TV? Can you find out and post it, if not here, then on your site? Thx

  23. 2008 May 16 at 8:48 pm

    Game 2 will be broadcast on NESN

  24. 2008 May 16 at 8:51 pm

    I’m just waiting to hear what the pitching matchups will be tomorrow. I’d think Dice-K would get the afternoon game.

  25. 2008 May 16 at 8:52 pm

    Well harrumph, that doesn’t help little ol’ me down here in North Carolina! Oh well…two out of three ain’t bad, as they say.

    I’m bummed it’s not on. However it is probably a good thing, since I leave for the airport at 2am. Going back to Boston, will be at Fenway Thursday.

  27. 2008 May 16 at 8:58 pm

    Have a good night. Y’all. I’m going to watch the C’s now and then last night’s CSI and Earl. Maybe go the home depot to get some curtains.

    Thanks to our gracious host who forgot to close the dome ;)

  28. 2008 May 16 at 9:04 pm

    After I (finally) eat dinner, I’ll be on line…may see some of you around the various blogs and LJs this evening. If not…I’ll be popping in and out while I watch the 1st game on Fox…probably more present here tomorrow night. See y’all!

  29. 2008 May 16 at 9:06 pm

    how epic that BOTH games tomorrow will be while i’m at work. D:

    i’m sure i can find lots to do in the receiving area tomorrow (where the radio is).

    GO SOX. ;D

    g’night, friends!

  30. 2008 May 16 at 9:21 pm

    Welp, I arrived late to the party to find out it has been rescheduled. Meh, mother nature is a cruel wench at times.

    Hopefully I’ll be home in time to see the game tomorrow afternoon. I’m going to see the Pawsox v. the SWB Yankees tomorrow.

    I’m. So. PUMPED.

    Take care, all!

  31. 2008 May 16 at 9:47 pm

    Jane, you are? I’m seeing those same teams on Memorial Day! Have a great time…

  32. 2008 May 16 at 10:41 pm

    Thanks, Liza! I seriously cannot wait. It’s my first ever PawSox game and my first game at PNC Field since they were taken over by Satan’s baby pinstripes. The park used to be the home of the Red Barons. But now, the enemey has nested which means I have to further defend my Sox fandom even more seeing as how I now technically live in (gulp) Yankee territory.

    I’m giddy though. Very giddy.

    “Satan’s baby pinstripes”

    That’s funny.

    I can’t imagine how tired the guys will be after two games today (one starting at 8:35!) and playing early tomorrow. I sure hope that tonight’s game (the makeup) is shown in EI.

  34. 2008 May 17 at 3:57 pm

    Thanks, Jules. Ha. Yeah, I don’t like them.

    Happy gametime, folks.
