That is accurate

However, the Sox wll feel right at home playing in front of a small crowd. Advantage negated.
The Sox have been playing in 40's and humid, rainy conditions all week. The Rays play in a climate controlled stadium in Florida. Advantage Sox.
The Sox will have last raps. Advantage Sox.
I think it's obvious that the majority of the conditions facing the Rays indicates that they won't feel quite as homey as postulated.

That's exactly it.

So you admit they may not in fact be comfortable?

I bet you will be there, I mean since you've shown up to so many things so far, I can't imagine you'd Ivan out of something if someone needed you.

If you don't believe me when I said the Rays will feel right at home, they're used to playing in front of sparse crowds. They've been a box office dud in recent years, even when they went to the World Series in 2008. Check this out:

They don't have those issues at Tropicana Field. It doesn't change the fact they're a box office dud. When the Rays play at ballparks like Yankee Stadium in the Bronx & Fenway Park in Boston, granted the crowds are big, but they're not exactly cheering for the visitors from St. Petersburg, FL.

Chris Sale will feel right at home pitching tonight. Matt Moore will feel right on the road pitching on Saturday.

Even though it was a White Sox winner over the Indians yesterday afternoon, RV said in his postgame presser with reporters that a lineup shakeup might soon be in the cards if the Sox don't start hitting & scoring more runs pretty soon.

In some ways yes and in some ways no.

Moore is certainly used to small crowds

Your White Sox lineup vs. the Rays' Jeremy Hellickson appears awfully similar to the one you've seen lately...

30 Alejandro De Aza LF (L)
7 Jeff Keppinger 2B (R)
51 Alex Rios RF (R)
32 Adam Dunn DH (L)
14 Paul Konerko 1B (R)
12 Conor Gillaspie 3B (L)
10 Alexei Ramirez SS (R)
21 Tyler Flowers C (R)
28 Dewayne Wise CF (L)
Starting Pitcher: 49 Chris Sale (LHP; 1-2, 4.50 ERA)

Speaking of Tyler Greene, could he be the odd man out once Angel Sanchez is activated from the DL? Or could it be one of the 3 left-handed outfielders sharing CF duties while Dayan Viciedo is out?

Go White Sox!

3 Evan Longoria 3B (R)
1 Sean Rodriguez 1B (R)
15 Shelley Duncan DH (R)

Does anybody else have any other jokes that they want to explain to me, thereby insulting my intelligence? What am I, a robot, incapable of humor?

Oh, thank you. I get it now. The chicken was crossing the road because he wanted to get to the other side.
