ladies and gentlemen, i am about to step out of my house in order to travel to US Cellular Field to watch the Chicago White Sox take on the fierce Tampa Bay Devil Rays. this will be the fourth baseball game i have had tickets for this season. each of my previous scheduled games has been either (a) snowed on or (b) rained out. i have actually seen one game at the ballpark so far this season.

the forecast calls for a 34% chance of thunderstorms by game time.

wish me luck.
