Detroit Tigers-Chicago White Sox washed out; doubleheader on Aug. 6
Chris McCosky The Detroit News Published 12:51 PM EDT Apr 20, 2019 Detroit — It should have been a no-brainer. It was cold, wet and windy and the meteorologists, professional and amateur, were saying the rain wouldn’t stop before 5 p.m. and the game wouldn’t have started before 7 p.m. Nobody on either team wanted to play baseball in those conditions. And yet, it took some doing before the game was finally postponed. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Tuesday, Aug. 6. But coming to that make-up decision took some negotiating. “The only reason it took so long is they were trying to get us to play on the first day back in August,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “We wanted to play on the second day back.” The White Sox next two visits to Detroit are in early August and late September. The Tigers will be coming off a three-city west coast trip the first week of August. They will have played 10 games in 11 … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers-Chicago White Sox washed out; doubleheader on Aug. 6
Southwest extends idling of Boeing Max jets to Aug. 5
David Koenig Associated Press Published 10:41 PM EDT Apr 12, 2019 Dallas — Southwest Airlines customers relaxing on Thursday evening got an email that may mean their summer vacation could be more stressful and expensive than they planned. Southwest, the biggest operator of Boeing jets, is removing the grounded 737 Max from its schedule until at least Aug. 5, well past the peak of the summer high season. Company President Tom Nealon wrote in his email that the airline is taking the Max out of its schedule two months longer than previously planned to reduce the need for last-minute changes during the summer travel season. The decision, he wrote, would make the schedule more reliable. Other airlines are likely to follow Southwest’s example, putting pressure on Boeing to finish fixing software on an anti-stall system implicated in two deadly crashes. Last month, Boeing and federal officials said privately the company would finish its work before the end of March. … [Read more...] about Southwest extends idling of Boeing Max jets to Aug. 5
Lizzo juicing up for April 19 album, May 5 Palace gig
Lizzo tore up the Palace Theatre last May on tour with Haim. / Carlos Gonzalez, Star Tribune "Juice" has opened up the floodgates for Lizzo. Not only did the homegrown hip-hop star announce on Monday the long-awaited release of her first album for Atlantic Records, coming April 19. She also confirmed a spring tour that will include a May 5 gig at the Palace Theatre -- her first headlining show in her former hometown in a year and a half. The Minneapolis-reared rapper/singer/dazzler is due to formally announce all her going-ons with an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Coquettishly titled “’Cuz I Love You,” the album is now available for pre-order and will arrive right after her two appearances at the Coachella Festival. Further details on the record such as a tracklisting have yet to be revealed, although presumably her aerobics-reviving, chart-cracking new single “Juice” will be among the jams.

John Mayer returning from the Dead at Xcel Center on Aug. 5
John Mayer last played at Xcel Energy Center in 2017. / Aaron Lavinsky, Star Tribune John Mayer isn’t letting his 2019 warm-weather dates with the Dead & Company kill his summer tour plans with his own band. The groovy, soft-crooning guitar wiz will play his own body of work – yep, probably including “Your Body Is a Wonderland” – at Xcel Energy Center on Aug. 5. Much like the Dead, Mayer’s shows of late have featured two sets with intermission, so no opener was named for his late-summer dates. Tickets go on sale Friday at noon via Ticketmaster.com, the arena box office or 800-745-3000. Pre-sale options start Tuesday. As is now its normal practice, the promoter Live Nation did not name ticket prices so it can basically charge whatever it wants in the publicly owned St. Paul arena. Mayer also played Xcel Center in April 2017 shortly after the release of his last studio album, “The Search for Everything.” He recently dropped a new song, … [Read more...] about John Mayer returning from the Dead at Xcel Center on Aug. 5
