ESPN SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF MOTHER'S DAY:
Last night's game vs. Seattle, canceled early yesterday afternoon because of wet weather, will be made up today as part of a split-admission doubleheader scheduled for noon and 5 p.m. Tickets for last night's game are good for the noon game today. (Gates open at 10 a.m.). Tickets for today's previously scheduled 2:05 p.m. game will be good for the 5 p.m. game.
The Sox are forced to play the games so close together because of contractual rights associated with the ESPN Sunday night broadcast. No game other than the one ESPN shows at 8 p.m. can start after 5 p.m. on a Sunday, said Charles Steinberg, the Sox' executive vice president/public affairs.
