Because of cold and wind?

Really?!?!?! This was going to be my first game of the year! Oh well, whenever the make-up date is I'll be there.

Oh come on!

This was also going to be my first game of the year; was willing to brave the cold. Probably for the best to keep Peavy et al healthy. Don't need any muscle pulls from the cold. Kudos to the Sox for calling it this early.

Glad to hear they postponed this game well in advance. Maybe they'll reschedule it for August 8th!

That would mean the Sox play 31 days in a row.

Don't count on August 8.

Maybe they'll cancel another game in July for sub-freezing overnight temperatures.

With the way this year has been going, let's not count it out yet.

Advance sales had to be really bad.

I've been to a game where I've worn my winter clothes in June.

It was colder than the 54 degrees than it says at game time... 1992 was the most miserable summer ever.

Damn you, Pinatubo!!!

I recently attended a Braves game which despite the weather hovering around 40 degrees with constant drizzling rain was not postponed. Everyone in my group of 20 did not bother showing, save me and my +1, and even we said **** it and left after the 4th inning. I'm looking at the forecast for tonight's Sox game and the forecast is basically identical. Does anyone know who or what entity in specific is responsible for issuing a postponement of games? I want to write a letter to whomever is responsible for issuing the postponement and ask them why they did not postpone the game I attended.

I believe before 1st pitch it is up to the home team. After it is at the discretion of the umpires.

Thank you. Time to fire off a sternly worded email.
