Man, The Weather Gods stuck it to MLB and Yankee/Tiger fans last night, as you loyal and faithful readers know. What have we done to piss them off so much? What!!
Billi Pod headed out to Yankee Stadium, The House The Greed And Ego Built, around 7:15pm. The subways weren’t too crowded and that was a pleasant change. It was, however, very cloudy when he got out of the subway station in The Bronx.
As he had predicted, almost all of his season ticket buddies were in their usual seats and everyone was really happy and charged for the beginning of the post season and our journey toward our 28th World Series Championship.
CC looked sharp, although he gave up a HR that just barely cleared the right field wall. Verlander didn’t appear to be quite as sharp and the Yankees tied the score 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning.
It began to lightly rain - no matter because Billi Pod had brought his wind-jacket and poncho. As usual, he had problems getting into the poncho due to the wind, much to the amusement of his buddies. No, guys, I am not, repeat ... not retarded.
In the top of the 2nd inning it really began to pour. It was miserable, to put it mildly. The umpiring crew let CC complete the inning and then they called out the ground crew to put the tarp on the infield. It was pouring. Yuck!!
Well, long long story made somewhat shorter -- after about a 80 minute wait the game was “suspended” meaning ... it will be “resumed” at 8:37pm tonight. Only ticket holders for the Friday game will be allowed into the stadium tonight. The originally scheduled Saturday game will now be played at 3:07pm on Sunday, which was supposed to be a travel day.
Make no mistake about it ... there will be utter chaos and confusion at the ticket gates tonight even though MLB has sent out emails and The Yankees have made robo-phone calls this morning to everyone with tickets to either game.
When the game is “resumed” Ivan Nova will be on the mound for The Bronx Bombers. What the final impact of this delay will be is still very uncertain because the rotation is now in total disorder, for both teams.
There is even speculation in the local papers that ... gasp ... AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi will now get the opportunity to start in Game 4. Man, how cruel would that be?
Anyway ...
Yes, Billi Pod will be at The Stadium tonight. The Weather Gods solved his dilemma over having to toggle between the Yankees game and the GATORS/’BAMA game.
On a more positive note==>how ‘bout them Rays? Man, they kicked butt big time last night.
Also on a positive note==>GOODBYE TERRY FRANCONA!!
Yes, the FuckSox and their manager have parted ways. I guess the fact that he took them to two World Series Championships was somehow overlooked or unimportant. Oh well ... seeya later Terry. We will miss you - NOT!!
Well, my loyal and faithful readers, Billi Pod will post this and then become a couch potato, watching playoff baseball and college football.
It is 1:00pm and the weather in Manhattan is nice. Oh, what is the forecast for tonight? Nothing unusual, just==>"the possibility of thunder showers." Well, WTF did you expect?
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
