Just got back from lunch, and there’s some very light rain falling off and on here in Texas. The forecast calls for a cloudy afternoon, with roughly a 40-percent chance of rain around game time.
It’s actually a little worse tomorrow, with a 60 percent chance of rain most of the day.
The Dallas Morning News noted that it’s been a very dry month around here, so maybe that’ll hold up and the games will go on as scheduled. Remember that in the postseason, games are not official after five innings. If a game gets delayed, it will not be canceled or cut short. It will be resumed at some point.
0 Days, 5 Hours, and 50 Minutes until game 6 of the ALCS

But Nick won’t the wind and rand then also knock down the long fly balls the Yankees hit?

BX33,
Finally someone understands what I am trying to say.
We need two wins. Getting the first off of Lewis should be easier than getting it off of Lee. That’s my only point about the potential of rain messing with the current setup.
Now, on the other hand, if it doesn’t rain tonight, we win, and then it rains tomorrow, that is favorable to us in the sense that it at least gives the Yankees the ability to use CC in game 7 vs. Lee.
If it rains tonight then I am really happy Hughes has a blazing fastball.
Raindrops in your eyes plus blazing fastballs in your grill equals another round of Philtober.
I think the potential C2 nimbostratus formation might also effect Hughes breathing tonight.
I wish he did not take such deep breath in between pitches. Also, he needs to cut hair to have less air resistance in generating torque.
I think you missed the point, Patrick.
The rain or lack of rain should help the Yankees, not the Rangers.
Game 1: Wednesday, October 6, 1982 at Busch Stadium (II) in St. Louis, Missouri
Game 1 was a wash—literally. The Braves led 1–0 behind Phil Niekro and were three outs from an official game when the umpire stopped it. When the rain did not subside, the game was canceled. Game 1 began from the start the following night in a match-up of the volatile Braves starter Pascual Pérez and longtime Cardinal starter Bob Forsch.
Niekro was lights out in this game. Cancelling this game essentially cost the Braves the 1st game win, eventually losing the series to the Cardinals.
If it rains tonight then advantage Phil.
He is undefeated in postseason play when it rains

Yankee Trader-
Was it you I made the bragging rights bet with over the Phillies going to the Series????
Hughes is also undefeated when he wears his sox outside in… Don’t ask me for the source on this one… Fangraphs delete that metric last season.
I trust NOAA forecasts way more than accu-weather.
They are the most sophisticated.
They say 20% chance. That’s what I’m goin’ with.

I am pretty sure I would be blacked out from watching it online
But if the Yankees are in the Series and this is still a problem, I will have to look into it.
From USA Today-
“Nobody who’s been around is the least bit intimidated by any stadium,” says Yankees first baseman Lance Berkman. “For me, it’s almost easier to play on the road. I guess you don’t want to disappoint the fans at home.”
Six of the 11 teams that squandered 3-1 leads lost the last two games at home.
Take the point a step further to the weight of expectations.
“The more wins you can get, the more pressure you put on them,” Berkman says. “We win Game 6 and that puts a lot of pressure on them because you don’t want to be the team that frittered it away.”
Good attitude! Go Yankees!!

****************
I am very hesitant to switch
I think this is a problem that will keep happening to cable providers everywhere. Switching everytime there is a dispute probably isn’t the answer. I think the government has to step in
A colleague retired recently and declared it the “greatest day of her life”.
She then asked me what was the greatest day of my life.
I coyly flipped the photo of my wife and 3 kids over on my desk and said : “Aaron Boone?”
I think I was serious…is that wrong?
Guess the LIne Up is now over for the day.
Please do not submit any more line ups.
Thanks to all who played
@Erica in NY She never got to visit OYS. I can’t hold it against her. It’s hard to explain what a magical place it was… you sound crazy when you try to explain “There were ghosts there.”
She’s been to NYS a few times now, and really admires it – and roots for the Yanks along with me.
Nick,
So what you’re saying is, whatever the weather is, it’ll benefit the Yankees regardless?
Erica go to Fios. Better system. I have Time Warner now and was a prior Cablevision customer. I hated cablevision. Old HD boxes, bad receptions, on-demand never worked… Terrible like the Mets lineup.

My biggest concern is that I have the triple play package and my home phone with them.
I do not want to change my home phone number. Would I have to if I switched to FIOS?
Some one has also told me that FIOS is long to load. Is that true?

Thank you.
Erica, no, what I mean is you can watch it online illegally. I’ve watched numerous games in this way, you just have to know where to go. I’m on the West Coast so these games often start before I leave work. I watched all of Game 5 at my desk
Most often the feeds are pretty solid. Not great like HD on TV, but perfectly acceptable if you’re in a pinch.
I have Fios now. Unfortunately I’m moving to an apartment where Fios isn’t available yet
Erica,
If you have the opportunity to get Fios I’d say you should get it, it’s really good. I’ve had zero interruptions in my service over the last year. Great TV picture, incredibly fast internet speeds.
The only bad thing I’ll say is that Verizon loves to use Motorola set-top boxes and DVR’s and they are really really REALLY crappy. If at all possible get a different brand of DVR.
Since light hearted banter is the mood today- I will tell you all the story of how I knew for a fact that the Yankees would win Game 5 at 3pm Wednesday
My evil boss called me into his office to go over a few things with me. Since I had been out of the office the first two days of the week, I asked how his important client meeting on Monday had gone.
He gave me a strange look and said, “No one told you??”. I said no and asked what happened….
So then he said he was at the meeting and there was an old man presenting. The old man was sitting in the chair next to him and when he was done, he left, and a new speaker came in. When the new person came in, they asked my boss to move down into the seat the old man had vacated.
When my boss sat down, he immediately discovered the seat was absolutely soaking wet. And he jumped up and screamed because he knew he probably sat in the old man’s pee.
So I knew right then and there that the Yankees were winning Wednesday night. Because nothing bad could ever happen on a day I heard such a great story.
It’d have to be a hell of a storm for them to call the game. A delay is much more possible. And that could benefit us today and/or tomorrow. Of course, it’s a two way street.
Patrick is right. Fios is really good. My sister had it in the Manhattan and it was pretty smooth in terms of picture, user guide, on-demand options, and the internet connection was solid.
Vineyard Yankee-
You are 9 minutes too late. I repeatedly said no line ups after 2:30
Here are some quotes from a Man I greatly admire. A beloved Man.
A great Man. Vince Lombardi. I wish HE could talk to the Yankees before today’s game. He can’t but his words can.
“It is essential to understand that battles
are primarily won in the hearts of men.”
“We would accomplish many more things
if we did not think of them as impossible.”
“It’s easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline
when you’re a winner, when you’re number one.
What you’ve got to have is faith and discipline
when you’re not yet a winner.”
“In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.”
The Mad Prince-
Oh. My luck I will get caught. If I wind up in a true pinch I will probably go with John & Suzy on the radio
Yes, the weather will benefit the Yankees.
Regardless.
Hail the size of armadillos?
Advantage: Yankees.
“Because nothing bad could ever happen on a day I heard such a great story.”
That is an amazing story!!
Erica,
Fios will let you use your current phone number if you sign up with them. They call it “porting it over”. No matter what carrier your current number is with (even cablevision) you can get the number transferred to your Fios account
I know this because I recently ported an Optimum Voice number to Fios and there was zero problems.
The Fios service is leaps and bounds better than Cablevisions. You get a lot of free on demand shows that you can watch and their internet is faster than Optimum Online.
Erica-that’s hilarious. Your poor boss though!
G Love-
Thank you. I appreciate the input.
I am going to strongly considering switching by the end of the year

Wonder if the rain keeps Nelson Cruz out of the lineup?
Do you risk a bad hammy on a wet field?
Without him in the lineup it’s a much different team. I can’t imagine they’d DH Cruz and put Vlad in the field.
Here’s a few more from the Master ( Lombardi ).
“Winners never quit and quitters never win.”
“Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is everything.”
“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.”
Wow. Wouldn’t you walk through a wall for a guy like this, or at least try.

Mike,
Great post! Now, if we could only get the naysayers to think this way, the blog would be a much nicer place to visit.
I’ll take your view of the weather report.
Not going to hope for it, but a rainout today would help the Yankees.
If they wanted to throw Lee in a game 6 tomorrow against Pettitte that’s fine with me. Win that game and CC pitches game 7.
“In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail”
And that is the reason that I feel honored to be a fan of the New York Yankees every time they take the field. No matter the result. They play to win. When they fail to win I am equally proud to be their fan. Because it is the heart they carry onto the field that keeps me coming back.
And for those who can’t quite get to that point, consider yourself BLESSED to be rooting for a team that has been in the postseason 15 of the last 16 years. If you can find better, go do it!
Hopefully Ron Washington will be using this great Lombardi line tonight sometime around the 2nd or 3rd inning.

Hell. I would run through the wall with my dome leading the way. Concussion and all.

Al-
I guarantee you there isn’t a single athlete who could come out of a room where Lombardi was speaking thinking they could fail.
They might fail but they would never believe it until the game was over.
And no matter what happened they would hold their heads high because they would know they left everything they had on the field of play.
The Man was an absolute genius of Motivation and a true leader.
His players may not have always loved him but they always respected him and I believe gave their all for him every single time.

Erica – last night, someone posted the link to get to Fox online, and I was able to catch the last three innings of the Phillies-Giants game online. It was a small box on my laptop screen, obviously not as good as my 52″ HDTV – but better than nothing. Either way, I will mute FOX and listen to John and Suzyn.
Obviously, I have no doubt the Yanks will be playing.

SoS-
You and me both. He had that effect on people. He could reach down into someone’s soul and squeeze out every drop of all that they were just like a wet towel.
Absolutely fantastic.
Joe from Long Island-
I am pretty sure that if it gets to the point where the Yankees are in the Series and none of the Cablevision subscribers can see it, politicians will get involved. Do you really think these folks facing reelection in two weeks want such a debacle on their hands?
G.Love – I bet they put Cruz in LF, and take their chances going for a knockout punch. But, I also bet that if a ball is hit to the gap, the corner, a bloop – that he doesn’t bust it going after it.
Erica,
Glad to see that you do too.
Erica- Cablevision is so hypocritical (I know, what a surprise). They fight tooth and nail against legislation governing cable companies and their billing rates, saying they’re fighting for free enterprise and against regulation. But, they have no hesitation to bring in the politicians calling for arbitration when it suits their purpose.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whomever it was that posted the Invictus earlier.
It was one of my dad’s favorite poems.
He believed in us and refused to ever let us not believe in ourselves.
“You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul” is what he would say to us whenever we would have any moments of doubt.
Ledger_Yankees Sounds like the rain would come and go. Just a delay possibly and that’s it.
This is great-
Ramiro Pena and Francisco Cervelli joined Cano in the drill, but they were the equivalent of two of Michael Jackson?s brothers showing up to practice a dance routine. Tito and Marlon could move their feet, but everyone would study Michael. Pena and Cervelli swung, but everyone studied Cano.

I mentioned this the other night but you guys should be able to get fox and apparently even fox hd with a digital antenna.
You can get them for like 20 bucks at any electronic store.
In my very first internship, I worked for a grizzled and no none sense native NYer in a rather large company. Carl really never said more than a few words and also had a slight scowl on his face. Frankly, I was very intimidated by him at first. Anywho, one day with a co-worker, the conversation got to who is the best SS ever, I blurted out Honus Wagner of the Pirates rather loud in my cubicle. A couple minutes later, Carl came over to me and ask me to go to his office for a min. So there I was, rather nervous and not knowing what I have done to warrant such a meeting. He said to me, ‘look kid, can you name all the players in that picture.’ It turned out he had a picture of 8 HOFers framed on his office wall. I was rather fortunate to name all of them, though I struggled with Joe Cronin a bit. Afterwards, he padded my shoulder and said ‘ kid, you okay.’ After that, Carl took me under his wings and we got along relatively swingingly.
That was my first baseball experience at work… sorry for the lengthy post… feel like sharing…

Very, very true
I also can’t imagine FOX wanting to lose the Cablevision Long Island viewership of a Yankee World Series. Thats most of their market lost
Erica, I switched from Cablevision to FIOS last year and I love it. Unfortunately, I DID have to change my phone # (which I’d had for 10 years at that point), but it was worth it. Will Verizon end up in some disagreement with some network down the road? Probably. But I hate Cablevision and am extremely happy with the FIOS service.
The only downside that I know of is with Cablevision DVR boxes you can have an “extender” which provides something like 4x the recording capacity on the box. Not an option for me with my set top box – I have the Motorola box.
Oh, btw, every time I’ve had to speak with a rep they have been very pleasant and helpful.

MTU, thanks. I had a good cry when I read it because it did bring me back, and I really miss having him to go to. When I have to make any kind of important decisions, I find myself making them based on what I believe he would have felt was the best way to do it and the right way to go. I didn’t always do that when he was alive but there is not a question in my mind that he always had it right and when we didn’t agree, I was the one not thinking straight. He was an extremely practical man and consummately honest, honorable. I’m thankful that he was/is my dad.

I sometimes tease my father that part of the reason I was born was because remotes weren’t around yet.
I swear, my earliest childhood memories are my dad sitting on the couch saying “Erica, go put on channel 4. Now, put on channel 7, No wait- go back to 4. Good girl”
“I’ve got to go, Joe. It’s all right. I’m not afraid. Some time, Joe, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they’ve got and win just one for the Micker. I don’t know where I’ll be then, Joe. But I’ll know about it, and I’ll be happy.”

I agree but desperate times call for desperate measures.
You could always find a place with a really good return policy if you know what I mean
No, not the third inning, I want a 90 minute rain delay tomorrow after the top of the first inning, before Andy ever stands on the mound. That way Lee is out, but Andy can probably still pitch.
Trisha-
Between him and your Mother you are very, very fortune.
Now go and kiss the ground 10 times for good measure.
And don’t forget to pinch yourself.
just my humble opinion about FIOS-
Had Cablevision years ago and switched to Directv when the Dolans had a dispute with YES, did not have it for a year!
Switched to FIOS to save money, preferred Verizon phone service (which is direct fiber, Cablevision goes over the net.
PROS- Fios is 21st century, Cablevision is 20th century. With DVR, you can switch back and forth between two channels and rewind or pause both! (A must for sports fans!)
DVR holds 20 hours HD, channel lineup is logical, grouped by category, HD is always channel number plus 500. WIdgetas for sports enables you to get all the socres and stats on demand, no extra charge, along with weather, etc.
Great customer service people. No problems with Motorola equipment.
Can bundle with Verizon wireless to save even more money.
CONS- No local programming, and billing problems are common.
Lots of phone company style surcharges.
Cablevision is always (it seems) in dispute with someone over programming, no instances of FIOS yet.
I highly recommend it. With the absence of contracts now, if you want to try it, cablevision wiring is compatible, though Cablevision typically does not update your wiring unless you leave. If you don’t like it, Cablevision will be back offering you great deals to come back.
Let’s go Yankees!
That’s a pretty funny comment from Sherman. Perhaps the oil tycoons travel via helicopter.

Thanks to the commercial with the snake being laughed at by the rabbits, I think of you. Except, it’s the rattler laughing at the DMs.
How’s things going out your way? I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to watch Phil destroy some egos tonight.
KPB-
If only they were that way in real life. That’s a hysterical commercial.
Things are good. We’ve had some late season rain which has really brought the place to life.
All I want Phil to do is give it everything he’s got. I’m sure he will.
How are things down on the Bayou ? Any pre-game rituals to help the team ?
Evan_P_Grant Word from #Rangers officials on rain is that most is expected to pass north of Ballpark. Maybe a shower, but optimistic game will be played
Erica, that was your father’s way of teaching you numbers. Sounds like great parenting.
Nunez will pinch run in this game for someone, and score the winning run.
MTU
I tried the chicken thing, but didn’t care for the results. So, I decided to go with fried gator (because it’s good and I want Phil to chew them up), drink a few beers, and have my Hughes auto on display tonight. There’s never a question he will bring his best and if that pic is any indication of what he does tonight, we’re going to be very happy.
Can’t wait to see some photos of the place coming alive.

No reference. Just saying that I was going to put it by the TV, so that it shows I have enough confidence in him to buy it and he can pitch a good game.
If the game is not played today does that mean that we could face Cliff Lee in game 6 rather than game 7? I hope not.

When did you want to do the Muppet/Yankee lists?
Joelsherman1 Obviously liking what they see from Berkman to move him up to 5th ini lineup #Yankees, #Rangers
So close…switch Posada and Berkman and I had it.

KPB-
Thanks for passing it on.

As long as your not “green” with envy of others who’ve seen it, it’s all good.
I lost for the third straight time. Hopefully the Rangers will be saying the same tomorrow.
I wonder how Posada feels about batting 7th in a playoff game. Hopefully he is pissed and he rips the cover off of the ball.

Will you be around in an hour or two? I am getting close to hitting the eject-a-seat at work
Erica-sounds good. I’m getting close to leaving as well. I should be home in a little over an hour.

You were the only person who batted Posada 5th
A lot of people has Swisher in the 5 spot
Berkman hits after A-rod, wow.
I have a feeling MPF Lance Berkman is going to have a good night.
Joelsherman1 Thames has 1 start vs. RHP since 9/1 — throwaway GM 162 vs. Lackey #Yankees

I was trying to guess the guy who would give the most protection to A-Rod. If Swisher were healthy, I would bat him 5th. But the guy is obviously hurting, so I would like someone that you would not want to walk A-Rod to get to. Joe thinks that Berkman is that guy. I hope that he is correct.
Good lineup but I liked mine better
…like Berkman hitting 5th if Granderson didn’t.
“I have a feeling MPF Lance Berkman is going to have a good night.”
He’s in a good spot to tonight.
Has to be at least a little exhale from the pitcher after Robbie and Alex.
YankeesWFAN ARod yesterday: “These are life or death, literally, games….” Apparently loser of this series is executed at dawn. #literally?

It was early in my life, but I wonder if anyone else here remembers the Spahn, Sain and two days of rain. This post made me remember that for years gone by.
