Another f-ing rain delay!

After the extremely hard day I had today (let's just say sick loved ones were involved) and very little sleep coming in, I was so looking forward to plopping down on my Corinthian leather sofa and checking out the Sox game on the wide screen.

Unfortunately when game time rolled around and Extra Innings flicked on (at exactly 8:00 PM EST on the dot, God forbid not a friggin second sooner), I was dismayed to see sideways rain slicing through the Texas air and the tarp covering the field at Whatever They're Calling It Now Stadium.

Look, don't these people know that if the Sox want rain delays, postponements, and hemorrhoid-inducing doubleheaders they can schedule all of their games to be played in Boston? When the team travels to Texas, a place normally as dry as Bob Newhart's humor, we want to see sweltering heat and longballs up the wazzou, not Massachusetts May showers.

Maybe all the games should be played in Florida, just like spring training. It hasn't rained more than a puddle here in the Sunshine State in the last two months, and even when it does it only last for 30-45 minutes. Plus every game would be a sellout.

Maybe I'll start a petition.

Because there's nothing worse than coming home ready to watch your team and there's a blinding rainstorm delaying the game.

Well, I guess maybe living in it, but...
