It's raining in Chicago so more time for Kay to prepare some excellent questions! I picked up the game in the 3rd inning tonight.

The grounds crew is out fixing the mound. That spawns this.
"Let me ask you this David, Floyd came out to pitch but Hughes didn't. Is it because of the 50 minute delay or because there is more rain in the forecast?"...BTW, what a dumb question that is! Why would Cone actually know that? Maybe the Yankees want to be extra cautious with Hughes and the White Sox have a different philosophy? It could be many reasons!!!

Commenting on the many warmup pitches Floyd is getting.
"Didn't Floyd get his warmups when the Yankees were in the field?"

On Hawkins' pitching motion.
"David, what does taking the ball early out of the glove do for Hawkins?"

On Joe Crede's success vs. right-handers.
"What makes him a better hitter against righties, Paul?"
