Well that picture just about sums it up.
In a development less shocking than the balloon boy hoax, people around the country tonight knew the game was rained out before the fans at Yankee Stadium did. I received a phone call from a friend in Connecticut at 6:15 p.m. advising me the game had been postponed, per a report from Mike Francesa. At the time of the call, I was sitting in the right field stands. At 6:25 p.m., after selling an extra few items at the concession stands, the Yankees decided they would be kind enough to alert the people who braved the elements that the game was called off.
Back in 2006, the exact situation played out for Game 2 of the ALCS against the Tigers as the Yankees left their fans out of the loop, while people in Nebraska knew more of what was going on.
I laugh every time I hear someone say the Yankee organization is full of class.
Anyway, I’ll be back sometime on Monday with a Game 6 review and possible Game 7 preview. Stay dry.
so uncle dougie saw joe girardi today at schrieffer’s deli and asked him if he was going to end it tonight. joe said he hoped so. uncle dougie said to him, look on the bright side. if you lose you can come work for me. joe asked doug what he did. dougie told him septic system installations. joe said he’d pass.

Rita, I hope Joe Girardi is better at picking out sandwiches than he is at picking what time he should take out a pitcher.
