Doppler Dancing! It's still raining

 
It’s raining cats, dogs and cockfight chickens here at Shea, so I’m just glad I’m down to do Yankees on Tuesday rather than what might be a day-night double dip here against the Bucs, unless our fearless leader’s beloved Doppler changes radically in the next little while. Adam Rubin somehow is not here again; apparently the 12,000 words of blogging minutia he filed from his couch sufficed as a work day. Although, I must say, the stuff he unearthed about Delgado’s SIX career curtain calls – and accompanying links to those games – was stellar use of a Nexis search engine by A-Rube and something Delgado certainly will have to answer to during the pre-game media availability time. Will check back in around game time, if there is one. By Peter Botte (because main man Roger Rubin still has only faux interest in servicing your instant-gratification blogging needs). [link]
