Just wait until those revenue streams kick in . Then they'll be able to afford the automatic tarp

Theo was probably pissed. Cost them draft position.

Every single reporter/media person last night was saying it was the umpires fault, not the grounds crew. Kasper, Miles, Wittenmeyer, etc were saying this as it was happening.

Even when they first came back from commercial when the rain started, Kasper said something like "they are gonna try and play through this even though it's coming down pretty hard".

Denied. The crew can't come out until the umpire calls them out.

know anyone on the grounds crew, Seacrest ?

The crew can't come out .

True, especially since the sox keep tanking.

but their secret isn't well hidden

Really? A 15-minute rain and you can't get the tarp on the field to prevent the game from being called four hours later? Bush league organization.

In fairness, I think it must have been a sudden and ferocious rain. I don't believe it rained at all by me and I'm only about five miles away. My wife volunteers at an historic home on the Gold Coast and the building sustained serious damage. I found it hard to believe that it rained so hard just a few miles away.

I do remember a Sox/Cubs game at Wrigley about ten years ago where the Sox were going to win and they called the game before the fifth because the field wouldn't drain. And it had hardly rained at all. That was before they brought Bossard over to re-do the field.
