Some teams have hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure to keep their appointments. Some teams have a tarp.
The Mariners lost 1-0 to the White Sox on Tuesday in a game that started late due to weather. The Mariners managed just four hits and wasted them with three popouts, two double plays, and a TOOTBLAN. The game was boring and uneventful, save for some shenanigans in the dugout and the stands.
The real story of the game, of course, was that it was played at all. The weather across the midwest has been miserable, with frigid temperatures, heavy rain, and gusting winds.
