NO GO TODAY

The Red Sox lost a battle today _ to the weather.
As badly as they wanted to play, the Sox had no choice. It already was raining by 10 a.m., and the worst was yet to come, when the team announced it was postponing today’s scheduled 1 p.m. contest against the Angels.
The game was not immediately rescheduled. The Angels do make another visit, for a weekend series in mid-August, giving the Sox at least some flexibility to reschedule the contest, perhaps as part of a split doubleheader if needed.
The team asked that fans be made aware the time for tomorrow’s series finale against Anaheim could be changed. The game, the annual Patriots’ Day contest, is scheduled for 10 a.m.
The nasty weather system that was just arriving is supposed to ease off sometime tomorrow. It is possible that the start could be moved back several hours or more if that is what is needed to get in the contest tomorrow.
Oh, by the way, it is not 11 a.m. yet. And as I do this in the press box the rain has intensified. It already is nasty.
