UMPIRES FOR THIS GAME

I have called for the Black Sox to win this game so best I put my Black Sox hat back on


9:12pm  the Haka

9:15pm first pitch

REMINDER: I have absolutely nothing to do with the video streaming. They are up top of the stadium in the press box there. I am under the stadium beside the score booth in the media room. If you see any pictures or videos of the stadium, looking at it from the outfield, I am the first person beside the scoreers box. I get so many notes complaing about the signal being dropped or the play by play leaving an open mike, but other than finding a volunteer to run up there, there is not much I can do and sometimes by the time I get your email, the problem is gone. I am generally updating the game page for the full game and may have 30 minutes between games. So please, deal directly with the people who run the video.
