5/20 weather update - steady rain likely

UPDATE (5/20 5:42 PM): The rain is quickly moving through the area as can be seen in the radar below. What lies in its wake is cold, drizzly, damp conditions. The bulk of the rain will be through the area by 7:00 - 7:30, but it will remain uncomfortable. If I was a betting man, I would wager that the game will be played. I would certainly suggest not to play A-Rod in these conditions though (as I mentioned below).

It is going to be tough to get tonight's game in, at least according to this radar:

Even if they do play the game, Joe Girardi should seriously consider scratching the returning A-God from the lineup. All we need is for his quad to tighten up a bit and then have him slip on wet grass and be out for another month.

I will update this as I see fit, but I doubt the game will start on time, if at all.
