Opening Day?

Just a quick post as the NCAA Men's Basketball championships are about to begin. Mother Nature once again decided that it is too early to be playing baseball in some cities. Both Sox teams were forced to wait at least another day for Opening Day.

Heavy rain and bad weather in the beginning of April (who knew?) pushed the home opener for the Red Sox against the AL Champion Rays until Tuesday at 4 p.m. Whenever this series can get underway it is sure to be good. For the Red Sox there is no better way to kick off this season then with the team that ended their previous season.

Over to the Midwest the other Sox team are not just wet, but cold too. The Chicago White Sox home opener against the Kansas City Royals due to snow. That game will also be made up tomorrow.

This is not the first time that snow has played a factor in baseball. It seems every year for the past couple years the Cleveland Indians have had anywhere from a game to an entire series postponed due to snow. Midwest teams may need to start their home opener later as it still snows in this area this time of year.

Hopefully, the weather goes better tomorrow.
