CHICAGO, United States -- IT'S JUST MORE than 90 minutes until the first pitch of the first leg of a doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, a washout the night before ensuring that fans will see twice the usual baseball on offer at Guaranteed Rate Field on this Thursday afternoon and evening.
Fortunately, there are few signs there is any risk of any weather disruptions today. Warm-ups are taking place with just a scant flickering of clouds obscuring the bright July sun, and players from both teams are out on the surface performing their warmups; fielding grounders, playing catch, and getting loose as an eclectic mix of R&B, pop, Latin, and rock music plays out over the stadium's speakers.
