... and the forecasters better be right or there could be 18 with bats coming after them! This was a very challenging call with bright sunshine in Framingham right now, but most are now calling for rain by about 10:30. Even if a little later, it looks like we surely will get soaked on the field and dash to the cars before we play nine - if the forecasts haven't already depressed our numbers to far fewer than 18.
So get a couple more hours sleep before the Sox play the Yankees at 10am, read that Intro, have a safe and happy 4th, and see you next week!

No Game, No Practice
“Baseball’s absolute unpredictability makes amateurs of us
all.” ~ Roger Angell
The same can be said of the weather. It rained around 5am, leaving the field a bit wet. It may rain here again. It may not. But, in drawing players from across the region, what a forecast like this does is depress the numbers. (Charlie reports rain now in Newburyport; online calls for drizzle in Framingham around 7:35 for 20 minutes.) A handful of guys not showing because of sketchy weather and we simply don't have enough for a game.
Our 3 week winning streak is over, bringing out "record" to 4-7. Go spend time with whoever will nag you about skipping out on them next week and we'll go for it then.
