Now they’re saying there “a chance” this game could get played and there will be a meeting in 20 minutes to make a decision.

But at the moment, I keep waiting to see Bishop Pickering and Carl Spackler walk across the outfield.

    Hmmm. Do they have a massive field pump? Right field certainly looks ugly.

  2. Rocco May 2nd, 2007 at 8:49 pm

    in an hour there will be no more rain. They should play tonight to avoid the double header.

    I want you to kill every gopher on the green.

    Correct me if I’m wrong….but if I kill every golfer they’re going to lock me up and throw away the key.

    So if they don’t play tonight, will they be able to play 18 and then get stoned to the bejeebus on it tomorrow?

  5. Joe from Long Island May 2nd, 2007 at 8:54 pm

    I remember when I lived in Chicago, whenever there was a rain delay, when they finally came on WGN, Harry Caray would very dramatically intone, “THERE WILL BE BASEBALL!”

    Seriously, Peter, you lost me – who the heck are Bishop Pickering and Carl Spackler?

  6. Cutter May 2nd, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    Rocco, even if the rain stops tonight, the field is absolutely drenched. There is no way its playable in its current state and very unlikely to dry up anytime soon.

    Nice reference Pete……..

    I would assume their outfield has a drainage system, or is it so bad even THATS not working??

    I say play ball! im bored and want to watch baseball.

  9. Jeff NJ May 2nd, 2007 at 8:56 pm

    Holy crap I just realized that if they play two tomorrow they will need to call someone up to start both Sunday and Monday. Rasner/DeSalvo and Clippard I guess. Crazy.

  10. Yankeefaninwooosta May 2nd, 2007 at 8:58 pm

    Joe from LI and anyone else who failed to get the Carl Spackler/Bishop Pickering thing, please log off this blog and never return.

  11. jk May 2nd, 2007 at 8:58 pm

    Did Cashman take responsibility for the weather?

    If they play on a wet field, how many more hammy pulls will there be?

    I’d be excited about seeing Clippard pitch, he’s tiny, and doesn’t trhow hard, but if his location and command is on, then he can pitch an effective game for us.

  14. Paul.. May 2nd, 2007 at 8:59 pm

    Great, so if they pull the tarp, which yankee is gonna pull a hammy tonight? MMMMmmmmm, I think Jeter is due – its only been since the shoulder in Toronto opening weekend 3 years ago.

    I have to laugh, because I’ve outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I’ve gotta get inside this guy’s pelt and crawl around for a few days.

    Agreed! Always the best references, Pete. *Ahhhhh Rat farts!!!!*

  17. Joe from Long Island May 2nd, 2007 at 9:01 pm

    Yankeefaninwoosta –

    Excuse me for not being as brilliant and well-read as you.

  18. Huuz May 2nd, 2007 at 9:01 pm

    Joe from Long Island:

    caddyshack

  19. Joe from Long Island May 2nd, 2007 at 9:03 pm

    Huuz –

    Thank you. I never saw “Caddyshack” – I don’t find Bill Murray all that funny.

  20. rbj May 2nd, 2007 at 9:04 pm

    Joe from LI — run, don’t walk, to the nearest video store and rent Caddyshack. It’s an important part of American Pop Culture.

  21. MK May 2nd, 2007 at 9:05 pm

    Don’t find Bill Murray all that funny?

    BLASPHEMER!

  22. Ryan May 2nd, 2007 at 9:06 pm

    It’s easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you’ve got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.

  23. Wolf In Pinstripes May 2nd, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    Joe – I think Yankeefaninwoosta is definitely just messing with you. And as rbj says, you’ve got to watch the movie, even if you are not a Bill Murray fan.

  24. Jeff NJ May 2nd, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    Never saw Caddyshack? You need to rent it, luckily you might have time tonight.

  25. david May 2nd, 2007 at 9:15 pm

    clippard had 11 sos in 7 innings today.

  26. Wolf In Pinstripes May 2nd, 2007 at 9:15 pm

    LOL…. this is a great way to pass the time while we wait on word regarding the game. Pete is probably going to kill himself for what he started, though. ;^ )

    I was born to love you / I was born to lick your face / I was born to rub you / but you were born to rub me first /… What do you say we take this out on the patio?

  27. Scottâ„¢ May 2nd, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    Rat Farts!!!!

  28. tonyb May 2nd, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    How’d ya like to mow my lawn? hmmm? hmmm?

  29. david May 2nd, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    and maybe it is because I am from LI, I agree with Joe– Caddyshack was at best mediocre.

  30. JCR May 2nd, 2007 at 9:18 pm

    MLB.com shows the game as PPD… go rent the movie man

  31. Yankeefaninwooosta May 2nd, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    Joe from LI,
    Brilliant and well read are one thing……ALIVE is another.

    Let’s test Joe’s sense of humor…..
    Whats the difference between a pregnant woman and a light bulb Joe?
    You can unscrew a lightbulb!

  32. Joe from Long Island May 2nd, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    Well, looks like the game is being postponed. Now I have to leave this all this and find something else to do tonight.

  33. Yankeefaninwooosta May 2nd, 2007 at 9:26 pm

    Gunga Gunga La Gunga

    When you die, on your death bed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin for me….which is nice.

  34. Peter Abraham May 2nd, 2007 at 10:18 pm

    You’re not a man. You’re a bishop for God’s sake

  35. Peter Abraham May 2nd, 2007 at 10:22 pm

    It’s easy to grin when your ship has come in.

    And you’ve got the stock market beat

    But the man worthwhile

    is the man who can smile

    When his shorts are too tight in the seat!

    For any weather geeks, that radar image above showed a massive bow echo; about 250 miles in length. See how the yellow and red areas curve–like a bow, duh. That is the classic situation for tornadoes, which is why they didn’t play it last night. There were actually two lines of thunderstorms looking like the one above in Texas last night.
