Baseball Championship Series Forecasts
State College, Pa. — 15 October 2009 — AccuWeather.com’s reports cold and windy conditions are likely to dampen the first two games of the American League Championship Series in New York this weekend.
Rain and drizzle will be in the New York metro area most of the day on Friday before the Angels and the Yankees meet for Game 1. Temperatures will be in the low 40s by the scheduled game time, but with the moisture and winds ranging from 20 to 25 mph, RealFeel Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-20s.
Although the winds will lessen, rain and temperatures in the low 40s are again likely on Saturday, allowing for the RealFeel Temperatures to rise into the upper 30s for Game 2.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles will host both of its teams’ match-ups with excellent baseball weather for this time of year and Philadelphia will have minor weather-related concerns.
Tonight’s National League Championship Series contest in Los Angeles between the Dodgers and Phillies will start with clear skies and temperatures in the middle to upper 60s. It will be sunny for Game 2 on Friday afternoon and temperatures will be in the upper 80s when the first pitch is delivered.
When the teams travel to Philadelphia on Sunday for Game 3, evening skies in the area are forecast to be mostly cloudy with temperatures in the 40s. However, a bit of rain is possible.
Looking again at the ALCS when the Yankees visit the Angels, weather is not expected to be a factor. Mostly cloudy skies in Anaheim, Calif., for Game 3 on Monday will clear by Tuesday evening for Game 4. Moderate temperatures will be present for both games.
Stupid mother nature ruining the rotation!
Probably have mudslides, forest fires and minor earthquakes in Anaheim early next week
They’ll play. And they’ll be fine. Cold and wet, but fine.
You know, there’s no reason the Angels should be intimidated by the Yankees. But by the same token, there is no reason the Yankees should be intimated by the Angels. They’re both really, really good teams.
But the Yankees were just a little bit better. Tee hee.
they will do everything in their power to get game 1 in
as long as it doesnt rain heavily or steadily throughout
“Probably have mudslides, forest fires and minor earthquakes in Anaheim early next week”
LOL
i think burnett,arod,pettitte are keys to the series
the thought of AJ on the mound game 5 in LA tied 2-2 is scary.
why would joe announce the rotation now when he knows not how the series is going.
game 6 at home would definitely be the better option for AJ.
maybe the rain will work in our favor.
game 5 is usually more pivotal than game 4. cc in 5, aj-6 and andy game 7 might be better.
You’re welcome Betsy. I suppose one of the reasons for keeping Marte on the roster is that most of the Angels switch hitters hit better from the left side. If it wasn’t for the bad weather/wet grounds, I’d prefer that NYY added Bruney and kept Marte (I’d think they will if they get to the WS). I’d prefer they had Pena over Hairston, too, because of the hand/wrist injury but, it’s not my choice.
Laird finished the day at 5-5 with a double, 3 runs scored and 1 RBI. Curtis finished at 1-5 with a 2 run homer.
we spent 1.5 billion on the stadium, we couldn’t build a roof???
if the field is slippery. how can the angels players run? think about that?
“I suppose one of the reasons for keeping Marte on the roster is that most of the Angels switch hitters hit better from the left side”
That’s true, but I don’t see Girardi bringing Marte in to face a switch hitter. Hopefully the Yankees won’t get to the bottom of the bullpen anyway.

It’s not mother nature. It’s supposed to be turning cold now. It’s major league baseball. The WS used to be over by now.

Perfect answer.
Could someone explain to me why TBS just showed Jeter batting lefty in their promotion for tomorrow’s game?
Can anyone guess who was traded from the Dodgers to obtain Ethier?
