Hopefully this one doesn't get rained out

[SoxSport]

Great opportunity for the Sox to pick up momentum. Garcia and Colon have been overachieving.--

I don't expect that to continue for much longer.

[Jasonbay44]

I feel really confident heading into this one... Please don't let this get postponed.

Please don't get rained out.

 

This would be a HUGE win, to show continued dominance over the Yankees and take the series and first place back.

 

Let's go Sox, let's do this.

Apparently the Sox are having a live stream of their batting practice. Pretty sweet.

According to weather.com's hour by hour forecast, there is only a 10% chance of rain until 10:00, and at 10:00 it jumps to 30% chance, and at 10:30 it's all the way up to a 50% chance.

 

Regardless, that gives us about 2 and a half hours until the rain is supposed to arrive, and even then it's a coin flip (although in Tennessee, a 50% chance of rain really means a 95% chance of rain). Either way, the chance for rain never exceeds 50% tonight at Fenway. Should be able to get in the mandatory 5 innings. Jump out to an early lead.

It's nearly 1am in rainy Scotland. I have just purchased mlb tv. Beckett is going to dominate. That is all
