White Sox Opening Day postponed

Per MLB.com, the Chicago White Sox have postponed their Opening Day game against the Kansas City Royals due to predicted snow accumulation anywhere from 1-to-4 inches during the hours before the game. The pitching rotations will not be altered for the Sox, Mark Buehrle will still make his seventh Opening Day start to tie franchise leader Billy Pierce. Opening Day will occur on Tuesday at 1:05 p.m CT.

The Twitterverse is buzzing about the game being snowed out:
