No rest for the weary - more cold drizzly weather conditions for Wednesday's game

Good win last night, but it looked like a sparse crowd on T.V. I don't blame anyone for not showing up in last night's weather.

Unfortunately, tonight will be MUCH the same with a little less rain and a little colder. So basically the forecast is the same as it was last night - scattered showers (50%) with temperatures in the upper 30's.

I have a feeling it will be another sparse crowd tonight (by Yankee Stadium standards). Tonight's game is NOT included in the weekday season ticket plan. I have a feeling they have tonight as a $5 night so they wanted more tickets to sell for that. You will see that there will be fans dispersed throughout the upper deck all the way to the outfield, but there will be a lot of empty seats.

Regardless of all that, enjoy the baseball game tonight! I'll be at the game tomorrow when temps will be in the lower 50's, but the 50-60% chance of rain will still exist. What a bummer! Read the full post, after the jump

Quick weather update for Tuesday night

I am 99.9% certain that the game is going to be played.

The temperatures are going to be in the upper 30's - low 40's at gametime and the potential exists for some scattered showers, but the game will be played.

That being said - I don't have anyone who is willing to go to the game with me and as I previously mentioned, I want to watch the Rangers playoff game. Therefore, my tickets are going to go to waste unless there is someone out there who wants them. I will give you the pair for $20. Section 1, Row M. Right behind home plate.

Pettite's return to the stadium mound tonight - BUNDLE UP!

Well, I won't be going to the game tonight and neither will Nick2Slick. No, we aren't scared of a little cold weather (we'll be there tomorrow night in the cold). We made prior arrangements to attend a concert tonight, so we will miss Pettite's return.

If you are there, you are likely to look like the girl in the picture above - cold, bundled up and unhappy (unless Mr. Pettite throws a no-hitter or something similarly spectacular happens.

I really think that MLB should consciously try to schedule "cold weather" teams in the northern part of the country to be on the road for the first couple of weeks of the season. I know it is probably impossible and no team would like a two week roadtrip to start the season, but baseball isn't supposed to be played when temps are in the 20's. Baseball is a WARM WEATHER sport.

By the way, the last game I remember Andy Pettite pitching for the Yankees in this type of weather was the home opener in 2003 when Matsui hit the big HR in his debut. I'm sure Andy is loving being back in NY right about now.

If you are going to the game tonight, have fun. Hopefully I will get home to see the end of it! Read the full post, after the jump
