News from the manager's office

Francona just met with the media and said "maybe it’s going to be a long day." As the post below explains, the weather conditions here are bad. It’s windy, cold and rainy and the tarp is on the field.

“I haven’t been here my whole life but I’ve been here long enough to know (the weather) can change in a hurry,” said Francona. “It doesn’t look real good, but for obvious reasons we need to try to play this game.”

There are a few pitchers from both teams on the field playing long toss. Both teams will take BP inside.

Francona also explained that the decision to play, delay or bang the game is solely in the hands of the umpiring crew because this is Seattle's last trip to Boston.
