Watching the rain in the Bronx

The weather is not promising here at Yankee Stadium. Bryan Hoch and I are braving the first row of the open press box, but that’s mostly because we’re really dumb. Most everyone else has moved back a row.
There’s no announcement yet about a delay or a rainout, but it doesn’t look good.
As for actual news, the Yankees have announced that Nick Johnson had surgery today. The procedure was done at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital by hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser who remove inflamed tissue from his right wrist. According to the Yankees official announcement, “it will be a minimum of 4-6 weeks before Johnson is able to swing a bat.”
That picture looks pretty bleak.
See ya in August Nick

Quick question:
What happens if Jeter hits below 290 (which would be the lowest of his career) regarding his next contract in terms of years/$$ and doesn’t put up his typical numbers?

For those of you that will be home (or have a DVR), the Scranton game tomorrow is on the MLB Network. It’s an early afternoon affair.
how about calling up jesus montero and letting him DH
I just wish they’d cancel the game already…..
Jerkface, I understand what you?re saying about Phil?s cutter and I have no problem with it not being his main pitch (I guess that?s what CB was trying to convey- maybe I just didn?t understand it). If he?s a quick learner, he?ll start mixing in his pitches instead of depending on 2 of them; big league hitters aren?t stupid.

Quick Question:
My son mentioned to me last night that it seems that every time Cervelli is in, the Yankees win and every time or almost every time lately Jorge is in they lose. Could Jorge be losing his touch or calling for the wrong pitches to some batters? Maybe Cervelli is a breath of fresh air for the pitchers? Could there be any truth to this or is it just a coincidence?

Francesa is doing some sort of contest and the question was: ?gwhat year did Jeter win the WS MVP?h. The lady on the phone said ?gI dont know Mike?h so he told her to take a guess. Her answer ?g1992??. :facepalm:

LOL.
The world needs stupid people. They make the rest of us look smarter
why do the yankees wait so long to let fans w/ tix know if game is on?
Did price pitch long enough to get the win ??
The rain will let up at 630pm…maybe they just push back the start ?
UPDATE (2:45 PM): A dry slot that has developed over the Washington D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area is racing northeastward towards the New York City metropolitan area for this evening. Ahead of this dry slot, rain will be very heavy with very poor visibility and the potential for flash flooding and dangerous driving conditions. However, by 7:00 PM, the heaviest rain will be over and taper off to scattered showers and drizzle. Raw yet playable conditions. I now believe this game will be played or at least will be playable by the expected start time of the game. A delay is still possible until 8 PM. Winds will be from the east around 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts and temperatures will be in the upper 40’s to lower 50’s. A rather uncomfortable night to be at the ball park, but they’ve played in worse.
Game Delay Potential: HIGH: The heaviest rain will exit, but scattered showers and drizzle will linger.
Game Postponement: LOW: The steady rain will come to an end by game time, depending on the conditions on the field, the game will have a good chance to be played.

And who was the Yankees SS back in ’92?
how does CC keep getting screwed by rain?
Another nice game for David Price. Rays beating the Tribe, 5-1. Guess it will be up to us to slow them down Wednesday and Thursday.
oh man, Cisco has been amazing with RISP.
joelh –
Jeter could go on the 60 day DL and hit 250, and it won’t effect his next contract unless the prognosis were that whatever put him on the DL was a career ending or career threatening injury.
In other words, Jeter’s going to make so much in his next contract, that he won’t notice losing a penny if there were a 30-point drop in this season’s batting average.
Weather is a shame. I was looking forward to a brawl tonite with punk arse Beckett on the mound and CC who isnt happy with him.
Nick just need another prescription for pain killers. Dont you get it? The man loves surgery.
Looks like price pitched 6
Erica,i heard that & cringed.
Jays is the team to beat?
Regulor poster posting under a different name to troll about Posada, a Hall of Fame catcher.
How original.
Dear Yankees, Please call the game so I do not get dragged onto a meaningless train ride. Thanks, the truth

Honestly, I’d have to look it up. I was 11 then. Cut me some slack
New Post: Just in case there’s a game
The Yankees want you to go anyway. Pay $20 to park. Drink 3 $10 beers and then leave
I heard that, lol – that was NO Yankee fan.
It’s easy to make high $ from Yankees.
Oh Boy, it’s going to be another long night…
When these games start at 7pm I don’t get to bed until midnight.
No post game watching tonight I guess…
Work quickly CC please. Is Joe West in the house?
last year they played in the poaring rain, so i can’t see them not playing tonight.
Did anybody else other than myself notice that Metallica band manager Cliff Burnstein was sitting directly behind the plate, 3rd row during the game last night?
This is the 2nd time I have seen him sitting in those exact seats w/a male friend this season.
I thought that was Metallica’s Cliff Burton…

Looking at radar from around the region, the rain is moving north and there is a nice area where there is no rain. This looks to be around the city by gametime so hopefully they can get the game in.
Did anyone else notice those two hot blondes sitting behind the the yankee dug-out, that were always on camera when a left hander came up?
I wonder what their motive was…
I’m sitting in the middle of midtown staring at a clear-looking front traveling toward the Bronx . . . I have a gut feeling that they’ll get this game in (fingers crossed).
