Let's Play Two!

... but not today.

Pre-pandemic, today's field was the best-drying field on which we played. Unused for a season, it has developed some sort of moss / algae in the places where it puddles and, even on a dry week like last week, the right side of the infield is "greasy". With the night's rain not ending til daybreak, the field will not get close to being safe in time for us.

We've seen this tale before. For the 2nd time, the Sox lose a series opener then take home-field advantage in Game 2. And, for the 3rd time in a month, Saturday night rain clears but leaves an unsafe field and leaves us at home on Sunday like we're the Yankees.

And then there were two. Two potential weeks of baseball remain this season before the curtain falls. Play ball!
