Fucking rain delay.

Girardi has to send CC back out no matter how long this rain delay is.

Leyland needs to do the same with Verlander.

Resumed in Bot 2nd tomorrow night when it will probably still be raining. Game 2 is on Sunday @ 3:07pm.

....that's a shame.

Girardi says Sabathia won't start Sunday, and it looks like he will start only one game in this series. Nova Saturday, Garcia Sunday.
----------
Girardi sounds like he is leaning toward using Burnett in this series if he needs a fourth starter.

postponement fucks up everything.

Porcello Game 4, Fister Game 5, Leyland says... Acknowledges dilemma because NYY will have a RHer instead of LHer with his lineup set.

From the weather i've looked at, still seems like a 50/50 shot at rain tomorrow night. Sounds like if they can't fit that game in tomorrow there could be a doubleheader on Sunday.

#Yankees have issued statement on ticket mess: "There are no refunds or exchanges for tickets" to either Game 1 or 2. (Or for $45 parking)

that's rough

Good break for the Yankees though, now they only have to face Verlander once. But I guess you could say the same for CC and Tigers.

We were only going to face him once anyway.

CC was expected to pitch Game 4 and I heard Verlander would go possible Game 5 because of the day off would actually give him an extra day's rest. Now that the rotations are changed it won't happen that way.

On the bright side, whoever advances has their Ace rested for games 1 & 4. Could be a blessing in disguise.

But a lot of fans are also local and probably took the train to the game. Still sucks.
