Just what we need, more rain
—
It’s raining in the Bronx. But there is no word as of yet from the Yankees about the game. If such news does come down, it’ll be posted on the blog. This is obviously the last time the Nationals will be in the Bronx this season. As such, the umpires control the situation. As ...

Some Thoughts About The Second Longest Rain Delay In Baseball History
New Stadium Insider — Yesterday, the umpires made an unorthodox decision and allowed for [unofficially] the second-longest rain delay in baseball history. Today, there will be the inevitable backlash as jilted fans share their displeasure with the Yankees, even though the decision was pretty much out of their hands. One such complaint is from an NSI reader (from the comments section on yesterday's rain post): The Yankees' treatment of fans yesterday was laughable. People brought kids to the game, were told that there was a "3 ...

The only reason he gave up 3 runs last night is because he was ...

Yankees lose a nail-biter to the Nationals
soxandpinstripes.com 6/18/2009 — For just the 17th time this season, the Washington Nationals walked off a Major League Baseball field with a victory. Though it's always nice to sweep terrible teams, especially the worst in the entire sport, it can never be assumed, and today is a perfect example as to why. Though Chien-Ming ...
These Aren't The Washington Generals
fackyouk.blogspot.com 6/17/2009 — The Nationals are a bad team. I think we can all agree on that. Being 30 games under .500 at this point in the season puts them on pace to lose roughly 120 games. That is mind- bogginglingly awful. But it doesn't mean that anything less than a sweep against them is a disgrace. Beat writers ...
