Angels Yankees Rain Rain Go Away

by Rev Halofan on Oct 16, 2009 9:15 AM PDT in Angels News

While We wait to see if the rain will force a delay in the ALCS, be sure to read the Baseball Analysts ALCS Smackdown between Rich Lederer (the most knowledgable, articulate Angels fan this side of Matt Welch) and Jeremy Green, a Yankees partisan.

ADDED: The Monkey w/ A Halo Blog interviewed a Yankees blogger if you are looking for something to read between now and the first pitch...

Any chance they move up the start time?

Looks like the rain might not start until after 6 eastern.

Not a chance in NYC.

Unfortunately no

This would blow up the TV schedule, and of course we can’t have that (even though having the game delayed will blow up the schedule even worse). Baseball has never managed these things well. Think up the least logical response to these situations (i.e. waiting and playing the game at its normal scheduled time despite the weather reports) and there’s a 99% chance MLB will take that course of action.

I feel the need, the need...for speed!

actually

it makes perfect sense. If a player gets on base 6 out of ten times every time for their entire career….then they get on base 60% of the time, 100% of the time…aka 60% of the time, all the time.

I guess.
