“UPDATE, 3:07 p.m.: Hmm, now they’re putting the tarp back down. That can’t be good. i give up trying to predict what will happen. But I will keep you posted.

UPDATE, 3:14 p.m.: Now I know why they put the taro down. It’s raining.”

Good to be with you all again. Think I’ve been following the banter since 2002 or 3. Long time.

Hopefully we can put the silly sideshows on the backburner where they belong and enjoy the games. I have a good feeling about this team. I think they’re gonna surprise the skeptics, particularly Mr. Jeter.

[4] [6] Once again I love the MLB schedulers. Hey, we have a bunch of teams that play in warm weather climates, so lets send them out on the road the first week of April to places like Boston and Cleveland! I’m sure the weather will be great for sure those times of year. They never learn, idiots.

[4] Thanks.

Peter’s update has it that rain stopped at 1:55 pm.

There was a dusting of snow on the ground here in Toledo this morning. Not what you want to see for Opening Day.

[0] Alex, thanks for the writings, the expanded line up and a place to banter with fellow Yankee fans.

[2] The latest Baltimore forecast said they will get it in as it is supposed to clear up to just some cloud cover in the late afternoon and into the evening. 39 degrees tonight with 25 MPH winds! Hoo Boy! Fingers are crossed! Warm packs are at the ready…

They already PPD the Rays at Boston until tomorrow.

So any word on if the game is going to get played? Looks like nasty weather on the eastern seaboard.
