Son of a .... ahhh!
Game postponed, guys. No Opening Day today. Why stop there? Season's over. Cancel it. Go home. Don't come back. Go watch soccer or something.
OK, I'm being a tad dramatic. But this really sucks. I'm all ready for Opening Day. I'm wearing my Dustin Pedroia shirt, I cleared off my schedule and I was mentally ready for baseball. And now, before 10 a.m. even hits, the game has been postponed.
Crap-tastic.
Tomorrow, though, will be Opening Day. Sox will play the Rays at 4:05 p.m. ... right when I have stuff to do.
Feel free to vent in the comments.

Was a lot easier to plan my lunch around a 2 oclock game instead of a 4:00 game…bummer

Yeah, it was a lot easier NOT to have a class on Monday than a class that starts at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. My ONLY class, nevertheless…

yup
got an exam at 3 tomorrow, I’m planning on just filling in C for every one and rushing home so that I don’t miss a thing.
Man I’m depressed.

That’s a great idea. You’ll get at least a 25 that way…

Obviously he'd get more.
The teachers ALWAYS put C for at least half the answers. The questions that they don’t know the answers to? C.

Not in classes I've taught
If you put a C for every answer, you’d flunk.
Did I mention that I don’t believe in multiple choice questions?

25% isn't a flunking grade?

My job just ended
so I’m free for the next few months. At least my unemployment coincides with opening day.

Hopefully, you're not without any cashflow at all?
That would suck to have you drop off the site. You are one of the more consistently stat-centric users that we can rely on to settle debates sensibly.

I should still be around. Maybe not quite as much for a few weeks.

You collect unemployment for seasonal work?

I'm a ski instructor and the mountain just closed.
So no work for now. The summer tourist season will fire up in late May so I’ll do some traveling till then and not pay rent for a bit. I could collect unemployment for the seasonal off-season (I think the seasonal change is considered being “laid off”), but I won’t actually file for it. (I meant “unemployment” as in no work for me) I know people though that collect a few hundred a week from Uncle Sam and just chill on the beach somewhere awesome. Too dishonest for me; not to mention that my Dad would kick my ass if I collected unemployment without really needing it.

Thank you for actually having a conscience.
And for being a good American.

Ah
I misread your earlier posting. Probably because I spent the afternoon researching unemployment insurance and multi-state employers.
Ah, the exciting life of a labor lawyer.

Not really.
Every once in awhile it gets tedious, but for the most part I love my job.

I meant the having-to-work-in-multiple-states, not-always-having-work, and having-to-deal-with-morons parts.
I could NEVER be a lawyer. Then again, if I become a politician, I’m going to be asked to do a lot more by those same people. I need a REALLY good publicist.

Ironically, yesterday today was supposed to be the greatest day ever. Now tomorrow is the greatest day ever, while before it was just another day.

Tomorrow can't possibly be the greatest day ever

Can you prove this?
What if we score like 500 runs tomorrow, and every other team forfeits immediately.

Not a total loss
Cash Cow Sabathia got knocked around in Baltimore. The fat man’s line:
4.1 IP 8 H 6 ER 5 BB 0K
I’d say ol’ Cash Cow was in top post-season form.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

COME ON!
Months of anticipation just to have it put off a day. Stupid weather. As a meteorology major I should have seen this coming…

But as a meteorologist, you shouldn’t see it coming because … well, you’re a meteorologist.

I wonder how many people already took the day off….
Meanwhile, no is playing baseball at all in Florida, where I guarantee it’s a lot nicer.

As I can hear the wind howling around my house every 30 seconds.
Of course, the Trop’s indoors. I wonder if the un-rebranding of Tropicana cartons will affect how the park looks.

Mother Nature must be a Yankees fan
Darn weather! My older kids are dressed in their Sox shirts. My 8 year old wore her shirt (it may be a Ramirez, but she loves him) to school. Her principal is a Yankees fan. Crap. She can’t wear her championship shirt tomorrow; she has a presentation. Ugh. Let’s go Sox!

I'd like to think Mother Nature is a Sox fan
the rain out in the 2004 ALCS gave Schilling & the Sox an extra day to get it together.

Sorry but I’m kinda glad that the game got postponed one day. I’m a Sox fan in Detroit and had my shirt and belt buckle on and was at school before the news came out. But I don’t have school tomorrow so it works out perfect for me,

So you're saying that
instead of missing the entire game because it was scheduled at 2pm when I am stuck at work until 5, I get to watch the last hour and a half of the first game?
And you want me to feel bad about this? Seriously?

It’s great! They just pulled Sabathia after 4.33 innings. Score 6-1 O’s. Awesome!

I've got to say, I agree with Maddon on this one.
Why they are playing in Fenway instead of the Trop is beyond me.

Because I can't remember the last time the season opened at Fenway

Lucchino added that New England isn’t exactly a great place to kick off the season in early April.
“It’s very unpredictable,” he said, “and our preference will be to open on the road and get the extra week of time for the weather to come around in New England.”
When the CEO says “start down south, the weather here sucks,” the powers that be should listen.

But when the fans say
“I don’t care if I have to stand through 3 hours in freezing weather, not knowing if the game will actually be played, I WANT GET IN!!!” the powers are a bit more inclined to listen to them.

Plus, it's too early in the season for the MLB to assume that the Trop will sell out.
They’d rather get the guaranteed over-capacity crowd in Fenway than have the Trop filled 80%.
