The crew just came out to start removing the tarp.
Still no word on what time first pitch might be, but at least there’s some activity. Tonight’s NBA Finals game is on the big screen.
UPDATE, 9:35 p.m.: Still no time announced, but the tarp was just pealed off the field.
UPDATE, 9:39 p.m.: First pitch scheduled for 10:30.
Hang on, I’ll go ask Pete if he knows what time first pitch will be.

I would start your search at the closest hot dog cart.
I wish CC would put a fastball in Dwayne Wade’s ribs.
Woops wrong sport

May not have to, Wade going out, but that probably won’t be for that long.
I’m reading on twitter that pete abe has been blocking yankee fans
Ledger_Yankees Cashman says Whelan, Mitchell, Warren, Phelps and Kontos would all be considered for the pen, as far as in-house guys goes.
“I’m reading on twitter that pete abe has been blocking yankee fans”

maybe he thinks it’s the yankee fans that are blocking his arteries ?
I hope the game starts soon. Even though it was a debacle, I’m glad I went yesterday night and got to see some baseball instead of having to leave to get home.

As HL Mencken once wrote, “The function of the press is comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.” Pete seems to be a modern day practitioner of that art.

Love that movie. Nobody as good as Tracy in those movies and Gene Kelly played a great Mencken part in the movie as Hornbeck, the reporter from baltimore. “Inherit the Wind”
Hmmm… So I guess it’s still on
“First pitch scheduled for 10:30.”
Game starts at 10:30pm. NYY/BOS games usually last 3.5hrs. Yeah, good luck with that.
I know that the rain delay is a bummer for my East Coast Brethren, however for those of us on The Coast this is a delight…..Almost like a game out here as I can eat without zipping through my meal…..Hey Doc Joe, loved the HL Mencken reference…..
GB – that is one of my all-time favorite movies, going back to my youth when I saw it on TV. I just loved the story line. Probably shaped my views on life, for better or worse
Can’t help but think Wade’s exit was an covert assist to LeBron.
For us Eastern Time Zone sorts, this kind of stinks. CC vs Beckett – it don’t get much better than this. Well, hopefully I can catch it on Yankees’ Classics.
I don’t care if this game ends tomorrow, I want a win.
NESN reporting game to resume at 10:30pm !!
not resume… but you know what i mean
first pitch at 10:30pm
that kinda stinks
i really need a good night’s sleep.
how about a nice 7 run lead by the 5th Yanks so I can get to that?
Now all you West coasters will feel the pain of a late night start.
Oh wait….
Clearly, they feel that they have to get this game in. There are already too many rained out games to made up. Who wants to add another one?
BOS is probably pissed. They fly to TOR after the game. I hope they land at 6am. LOL!
“BOS is probably pissed. They fly to TOR after the game. I hope they land at 6am. LOL!”

as long as they land on their as*es after the Yanks smack them around tonight, they can arrive in toronto whenever they want.
joe, it was a great movie. The lines that Tracy, kelly and March had between each other were fantastic. TV did a remake back in the late 70s early 80s with george C. Scott and Jack Lemon playing WJ bryan and Clarence Darrow parts. Not quite the same, but, still good.
Venditte blows the 1-0 lead in the 7th with a 2 run homer.
Betances with 6 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. 6 ground outs, 4 fly outs
Dellin!
that’s how it’s done.
Yanks game will the late game on the schedule tonight…..
Venditte had been pitching well.
Warren through 8 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts. 89 pitches, 63 strikes. with a 10-1 lead, he should get the 9th inning, too.
Ridiculous starting the game at this time of night. What about all the parents with young kids who bought tickets to this game? Would much rather have seen it added on the off-day before the final home series with the Sox in September.
bruce, im sure the yankees will say if you turn in your unused ticket, you can get tickets for another game. they’ve been doing that all year when there are weather issues.
Are you serious? STARTING a baseball game at 10:30 PM?
This is complete and utter bullsh!t.
Wasn’t going myself…just thinking of others! Too late for me to stay up until the conclusion, which will probably be around 2.30am.
Forget the parents with young kids. The Yankees will make amends and give tix to another game to those who waited it out. If ur any kind of yankee fan, you want this game played tonight. We have 1 ace, he is pitching. If we played it in september, he would face them 1 more time at home this year. Now chances are good he faces them twice. Small edge, but its an edge. Advantageous for us to play tonight, not in a 4 game september series.
the one thing i worry about is the umps having a huge strike zone to speed up the game. beckett is hard enough to hit right now with a normal zone (though CC would have the same advantage.)
i doubt they want this to turn into a 4 hour marathon.
Warren completes the game, 9 innings, 6 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts. 105 pitches, 74 strikes
Carlo with the right attitude!
I’ve never seen so many injuries on this team. Not just the Yanks, but all over baseball. Joba’s a huge loss. Hughes return and succeeding is needed, but not guaranteed. I have no idea how Cashman is going to handle this, but either a gold nugget falls into their laps from the farm or they go out and get a big name player, if one’s available.
Sounds good Carlo, problem is the yankees have yet to score a run on Beckett
Carlo
I’m a fan who wants to watch the game but has to be up at 6am to go to work so cut the crap.
CG Warren? Nice!
Who is the last Yankee minor leaguer to throw a CG?
3am game over?

Nobody’s forcing you two dimwitted trolls to watch the game. Go change your diapers and have mommy warm up you ba-ba.
Bruce – so am I (a fan) and I have my alarm set for 545. The weekends are for sleep.
There’s no drug testing for fans.
Lockdown – doesn’t matter what we did against beckett. I like beckett vs cc better than beckett vs anyone else in our rotation and their rotation has more firepower anyway so the longer the series, the more we get exposed.
I don’t understand what the need is to get this game in. Its not like they don’t come back here
@KenDavidoff #RedSox wanted to send Buchholz ahead to Toronto for tomorrow’s start, but his flight got canceled.
boo hoo!
I’d like CC for the opening game against the Indians and a good night’s sleep!
Does it usually take an hour to start after the tarp comes off?
bruceb
+ 1
How bout this…….rainout means one less game for jeter to hit 3K at home. Anyone think that is influencing things?
actually I’d say Sux wanna play tonight, not Yanks, for obvious reason.
Carlo, I hope we can get to Beckett tonight. It’s getting old to have there be a “Pitcher X” be the guy who shuts us down on any given year.
CC is a better match up for him I agree. But we have to score. Not really interested in using CC as the sacrificial lamb against Becket 6 times this year. where the best thing CC can get is a ND if he pitches scoreless.
Game about to start.., c’mon offense… c’mon CC… c’mon defense…
GB….You have your game face on I see !!!! I will be watching the Red Sox next time they come to NYC, Friday night 9-23-2011….I’m thinking the Yanks will put The BoSox to rest that weekend and cruise to The AL Eastern Division and secure home field……
Game post is up. Thanks for sticking around everyone.
PatM-
Maybe you’ll see Felix Hernandez pitching for the Yankees in September!
Lock – agree, we have to hit him. I’ve seen enough of the struggles against him this year already and its June.
