Full Version: Rain rain go away!
Ok stat people. After last night's game I was wondering about the Sox's history with rain affected games (rain outs and rain shortened and I guess rain delay's too) It seems that most of their affected games are with the Orioles!! Is this true? what is their record in these games? what were the most number of games they have missed?
Whoomp! trash it is!

Just trying to break up the Millar/belhorn/foulke suck monotony that appears on the board. Sorry for trying....

It would also help break up the monotony is they actually stopped sucking
If Jim Ed posted this, it would have been trashed. But by all means, break up the monotony!

If you had looked up the stats yourself and supplied them for discussion that would have been trying.
I'll give you an example on how a rain shortened game tangentially changed Red Sox history.
It was early in the 1984 (1985?) season. Me and my friends were at the end of a Tom-Todd-Sox weekend (We had tix to see Thomas Dolby on Friday, Todd Rundgren and Utopia on Saturday, and the Sox vs. the Tigers on Sunday.) Sunday morning looked like rain, but we went to the park anyway. We were having a couple of beers and some hotdogs in the concourse, when someone said, "Let's go check out our seats just to see the view." We went toward the seats (we had actually gotten pretty good ones) when we saw an announcement upon the big screen. The Sox had made a trade.
The Sox had traded Dennis Eckersley to the Cubs for Bill Buckner.
The rest, unfortunately, was history.

It was a great move at the time and Buckner while part of infamous history was a great ballplayer.
I am surprised no one's mentioned the rain-postponed Game 7 of the 86 Series.
