And I agree! Let's start this thing. Go Tigers, have a good feeling about tonight's game with Bonderman. Bilfer,

That would have been a blast. As for the crowd, I swear we are more into the game the colder and wetter it is. On the bright side of things, we will get to watch the away games at our local watering hole with no worries about work the next day...(most of us anyways) Yeah…it sucks we will probably miss our weekend games.

These losses are even harder to take when you have the added day. I need this nasty taste out of my mouth...please let em play! I don’t care about the weather…I just want to watch some baseball.

Saturday and Sunday will be godawful days for baseball (let alone NIGHT baseball). Saturday morning will start out in the early 40's with steady or falling temps and a stiff wind. Sunday calls for an afternoon HIGH of 38. It only gets better if the series makes it back to Detroit.

I thought about posting it, but didn't want to get hammered by the people that would be at work and unable to see the beginning of an afternoon game. I too, agree with the "pregame show" as being a waste of time. It's just another half-hour for Fox to cram more ads down our parched throats (man, why am I <b>so</b> thirsty for a beverage advertised by Clydesdale horses?). Billfer,

I was at game 2 in Detroit, and was pretty appalled when Johnny Cougar trotted out to play his Chevy commercial song before the game.

This is getting pathetic. I was really really really looking forward to the Saturday parties near Comerica. There's no way that the atmosphere will be the same if this gets bumped to sunday/monday or monday/tuesday. And it's clearly changing the complexion of the series. Agreed. This is getting pathetic.
