OK, when Billi Pod left PHC last night and headed out to Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built, he knew that the weather was going to be iffy but, what the Hell, he wasn’t going to stay in on a Friday night, right?
Well, when he got to 161st Street in The Bronx it was lightly raining, which almost immediately turned into heavier rain. The tarp was covering the infield.
A couple of times it stopped raining but then it restarted. Would they get the game in? Billi Pod’s gut told him that they would make every effort to do so because of scheduling problems for a makeup game.
The game finally began at 8:50pm, a 1:48 rain delay, but no matter because The Bronx Bombers were playing the hapless Baltimore Orioles, owner of the worst record in the American League and were facing a pitcher whose season record was a pitiful 4-14.
I mean, come on people, this was the Yankees playing at Yankee Stadium before a near sellout crowd on a Friday night ... WTF could possibily go wrong?
Well, my loyal and faithful readers, pretty much everything went wrong for the Wankies, beginning with ... tada ...
AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi, our so-called No. 2 starter, who once again pitched well enough to lose. He only gave up 5 hits but they were two homers and three doubles. He also struck out 10 batters. Loser Boi remains winless in all five of his starts in July.
Then, the Yankee bats went dead against the 4-14 Orioles starter who gave up only 1 run on 4 hits, though 7 innings.
We lost 4-2 but folks, we were never in this game and it was extremely frustraiting to watch and, of course, Billi Pod was there until the bitter end, when Gardner struck out in the bottom of the 9th with the tying runs on base. Barf!!
It was well past midnight when a still frustrated Billi Pod opened the door to PHC. Man, was he hungry.
We have a day/night doubleheader against The Orioles today.
Moving on to ... oh ... did I say that ...
AJ BURNETT SUCKS ASS!!
