Brewers at Sox GM1 PPD


As expected the lovely spring weather in the Northeast has forced the postponement of the highly anticipated start of interleague play between the Sox and Milwaukee Brewers.

The good news to come from this cancellation is it gives the club an extra day of rest coming on the heels of playing for 17 days straight.

The bad news is the team already got a day and a half off and were plenty rested and ready to go for this series, and now they will be forced to play a doubleheader on Saturday to make up for the rain out.

The worse news is that tomorrow's game was scheduled for 3:55 as the FOX Game of the Week, so instead of the traditional 1:05/7:05 split doubleheader the teams will play in a decidedly non-traditional 3:55/8:35 double dip.

How the fuck Sox/Brewers got the national spotlight game over the vaunted Subway Series is another story entirely.

Anyway, get all your activities done during the day, RSN, because beginning at 3:30 we will have roughly 9 consecutive hours of Red Sox/Brewers baseball to 'enjoy'.

And I do use that term loosely.

RECORD: 24-19
AL EAST: 1 1/2 GB
STREAK: L4
LAST 10: 4-6
UP NEXT: Sat vs. MIL
3:55 & 8:35 (pitching matchups TBD)
