How is the weather looking in Chicago? Will they get the game in?

 

[UMRules06]

It looks like the main issue is very strong winds? According to weather.com, it doesn't look like rain/snow will make a huge impact. Winds might reach 40-50 mph gusts though.

I think they will want to get this one in. Fingers crossed though.

Heads up to the out of market guys this is the free game today on mlb.tv.

Shields strikes out the side on 3 pitches all well out of the strike zone. Nick stranded at 2nd with a double.

Why is Boyd starting game 2?

Why is Boyd starting game 2?

They wanted Fulmer for opening day in Detroit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice.

 

[gotime909]

They wanted Fulmer for opening day in Detroit.

So where's Zimmerman?

Why is Boyd starting game 2?

Zimmerman is sick apparently

They wanted Fulmer for opening day in Detroit.

Fulmer has been the scheduled starter for the home opener since before the season started, that didn't change.

 

[gotime909]

Attaboy Collins!

 

[Mitchrapp]

So where's Zimmerman?

Was he the number 3? I don't know. Maybe they wanted him vs Boston as well..

Zimmerman is sick apparently

Yes, that's why I said it.

 

[UMRules06]

Awful defense this inning. Starting with Collins losing that fly ball that should have been caught, and now Boyd picks up the Tigers curse where pitchers forget how to throw the ball.

 

[UMRules06]

Wondering how much the weather is affecting Boyd

 

[UMRules06]

Be lucky to get 5 innings out of Boyd today. He's really laboring out there.

 

[gotime909]

Get Sanchez up

 

[kalinecountry]

Just got in from some errands. Had the game on XM radio and the whitesox announcers are just horrible. I think one of them is Ed Farmer.

So, it's 2 -1 now. ff shields has alot of pitches into the 3rd.

Boyd with 36 after 2.

 

[UMRules06]

KC Boyd has way more than 36 pitches. He is around 55 I thought.

Needs a quick 3rd inning here hopefully

 

[dale675]

Yeah Boyd threw 36 in the 2nd alone. 21 in the 1st. Gonna be a long day of the BP. Might as well see what they got.
