Mist, Monsoon, or Make-up Day?
The Mets and Yankees endured their fair share of rain last night.
A mist early in the game turned into a slight rain but nothing that couldn't prevent playing the Phillies-Mets game at Shea last night. The Mets 8-2 victory was their first in nine games against the Phillies going back to last season. The Mets' bats combined with four Phillie errors and a solid pitching performance from Pelfrey got the job done.
On the other hand, the Yankees played in monsoon like conditions in Kansas City last night. The start was delayed and Joe Girardi managed in reverse pitching relievers then starter Ian Kennedy later in the game. Bruney pitched solid. Bruney's loss of 20 pounds (note to self) and a great attitude have been making all the difference, touch wood. I think Bruney will go down as one of Brian Cashman's better picks if this year is indicative of future performance.
Anyway, the game should have been postponed. It's not like it's September and they need to get the game in. They could have made it up on Thursday or another day later in the season. You don't want to risk injury as Jeter and Posada are already injured. MLB and the umpires should have postponed the game.
