I had hoped that the Yankees and Mets could get Friday night's game at Yankee Stadium in, between the raindrops around the northeast tonight. Unfortunately, it was not to be. That probably means that the matchup between the Yankees' Darrell Rasner and the Mets' Johann Santana will be pushed back to tomorrow afternoon.
That's a good thing, as I'll be at the game and it should be quite a matchup. Both teams are struggling right now, as their offenses continue to sputter along. The Mets are without Pedro Martinez and El Duque Hernandez, while the Yankees' rotation hasn't been looking great lately, and both Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada remain on the Disabled List.
Tomorrow's weather should be a little better for baseball, with mixed clouds and sun, and the chance of some scattered showers or thundershowers later in the afternoon, and temperatures around 70 degrees. As a diehard Yankee fan, I'm hoping for some late afternoon lightning, but mostly from Yankee batters, not from the weather.
