Game time: 7:05 pm
Scheduled starters: Jeff Suppan (2-2, 4.63) v. Daisuke Matsuzaka (6-0, 2.45)
The game will be on NESN.
Boston weather: 5 pm observation at KBOS: Wind out of the east at 6 mph, visibility 10 miles in light rain, broken clouds at 3,88 and 4,500 feet, 8,000 feet overcast, temperature 52F, DP 41F
Forecast: Drippy. Low pressure is moving from west to east south of NE. We've got a good-sized area of rain moving into the area now, with the heaviest rain about two hours away from Boston, so that will be right around when the game is about to start. There were some breaks in the precip earlier, but they seem to be filling in, and it looks like solid rain between here and Buffalo. It's going to rain tonight. If the rain stays light, they might try to get this one in, but there's a chance it could be called.

Not looking too good for this one.
I don't think they can start for at least an hour. The heaviest rain is just west of Boston right now. There are a couple small openings, but they seem to be filling in. This could be another late start.
The Yankees/Mets game has been postponed, even though the weather is better there than it is here.

Don't think this one's gonna happen

Any word on the start game for Game 1? Is must be moved up to accomodate the separate ticket DH...
Game 1 will still start at 3:55. They're stuck with that time because of the Fox broadcast. That's why they scheduled the second game for 8:35 pm.

Wow, the switchover will be an absolute mess. 4:30 to complete game one and turn the entire stadium. We're going to the early game, but I feel bad for those trying to park for the 2nd game.
Great game, guys. We didn't lose, for the 2nd day in a row!

Matsuzaka didn't allow a single run either. En Fuego.

I don't. Anyone who drives to game 2 should get their tickets revoked for stupidity. There's enough train stations around that they can drive to instead.
Water!
