Son Of A Bitch Rain

You know, you spend all this time scrambling to catch up on your research for the ALDS after being in Vegas.  You get to work early and bust your ass knocking out some kickass previews.  You rush off the plane and jump into your car and then politely as possible try to clue your drive into speeding the fuck up so you can get home and see as much of Game 1 as possible, and then the goddamn heavens open up, the field gets flooded, and Game 1 gets postponed due to weather like half of the games at Yankee Stadium this year.

Seriously, Mother Nature.  Way to be a bitch.  If this is some kind of inside joke between you and Al Gore, it's not fucking funny.  Get bent, you old hag.

On a baseball note, here's the deal now.  Tonight's game will resume tomorrow at 8:37 EST (stupid move, just replay the whole game) and Game 2 will now be at 3:07 on Sunday.  While it sucks to lose what looked like it was shaping up to be a strong CC outing tonight, the Yankees' pitching plans aren't completely screwed.  They can stick with Nova tomorrow to keep him on his regular schedule, bring CC back on Sunday as he only threw 27 pitches tonight, and still have Freddy lined up on his regular schedule for Game 3 on Monday.  And Nova and CC swap Games 4 and 5, which actually works out better for the Yanks because they were each going to be going on short rest anyway but now they have the big fella throwing Game 5 if needed.  Your best pitcher in a must-win situation?  Yeah, I'll take that.

So it sucks that tonight got rained out, but all hope is not lost.  I'll be back tomorrow to put up a quicky preview for tomorrow's resumed Game 1, but Sunday could be looking rough for any kind of preview or reaction post as I'll be spending my day in the stands of Dover Downs Raceway drinking beer and giving the finger to Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch.  I'll see what I can do.

So to review again, Game 1 will resume tomorrow at 8:37/7:37.  Game 2 is Sunday at 3:07/2:07.
