Word is that if this games gets postponed (which seems likely considering right field is a lake), that the teams will play two tomorrow.
There are tornado warnings in the area and it’s pouring. Other than that it’s fine.
Stay safe and dry, Pete! At least I have something to do tomorrow afternoon instead of work!
tornado sirens going off here in downtown dallas. apparently trucks are overturned on the interstate as well.
it looks like it’s going to pass over… according to accuweather.com it’s supposed to stop around 8 to 9 central time…
weather moves from left to right on this radar and the stadium is between dallas and ft. worth:

Geeze, Pete. Thought for sure you had a typo with this entry’s headline.
I was almost certain it was supposed to read “DL tomorrow seems likely.”
Hhhmmmm. Guess things are already turning around by firing Marty Miller – our starting pitchers can’t get hurt during a rain out can they?
Bummer, it would be nice to get Andy on a 5 day schedule…..
Day/ night or the old fashion kind. single admission?
Pete, I wish there was some way we could all chip in and buy you a beer (or three) while you wait out the storm.
If I was worth a billion dollars and owned the Yanks like George does, I would hire some kid to pack Pavano’s stuff up and mail it to his home address and never let him near the team again. This guy is an absolute joke and if I was Steinbrenner I would rather eat 22 mil the next two years than have to listen to this idiot whine and complain and act like he was injured. Man somebody should rough this guy up a little, I nominate Giambi.
Even if it stops raining at 9 tonight, right field does look like a lake (YES telecast). I don’t know how that field drains, but it better drain well or it doesn’t look good to be an outfielder during these games. Can you imagine another leg injury?
Trucks overturning on the highway. And people complain about weather in New York.
During this delay, I’ll mention another important fact about Peter Abraham. In his photo, he’s dressed in a jacket and tie and looks like a grown up. All the photos of baseball pundits I see on ESPN, Fox, MLB, etc. present a male who looks about 6 years old, a little boy undershirt and baggy overshirt or little knit sweater with the white undershirt always showing, a little boy haircut–always with a stray tendril on the forehead, and a precious look on the face. Like a 6 year old boy would have on his face in the individual student photos taken in 2nd grade. Pete stands apart. I happen to prefer grown ups who look like grown ups.
You’re right rocco…this is moving fast. its all but gone where i’m at in dallas.
“Pete, I wish there was some way we could all chip in and buy you a beer (or three) while you wait out the storm.”
He gets paid to watch and write about the Yankees. I’m sure he doesn’t mind waiting through some rain.
Susan, I think Pete should shave the goatee and go with the ‘stache. nothing says grown-man like a nice sanchez.
it stopped where i am about 3 hours south of Arlington. its the same band. i expect baseball.
I was going to go to last night’s game and tonights game but didn’t because it was raining here 3 hours before and didn’t want to commit to he trip.
too bad this is the only time the Yankees are here.
Hey Joe, having lived in both, I think I’d rather deal with occasional tornados than having to shovel snow everyday! I don’t know how you guys do it man.
Well, tomorrow night’s chances look good Roc hopefully you can catch that one. I’ll be out there taking the kid to her first Yankee game!
Unfortunately i can’t make tomorrow’s game… figures.
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.
Stormy,
It has to do with human empathy and saying “thanks, Pete” not about whether the man is paid to watch rain (or reply to morons). But given your comments elsewhere that sort of thing likely goes over your head (as one of those morons).
