However, some weather models are indicating that the rain is going to stick around all day on Sunday as well, putting that makeup time at risk.

Here's a few notes from the LoHud blog and Josh Thomson, found some of this interesting. ............................................................................. • Alex Rodriguez admitted he ran through the stop sign of Rob Thomson (no relation) on Hideki Matsui’s double in the fifth. “Once I saw the go (sign), I put my head down,” Rodriguez said. “It was my mistake.” • The double was Matsui’s 10th in an LCS, tying him with Bernie Williams for the most all-time. • This was just the second homerless game at the new stadium. The last came in a 3-0 loss to the ...

subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 10/17/2009 — Were the Yankees lucky or good? A little bit of both last night. CC Sabathia, actually, wasn't just good - he was great. He was so big - it was playoff big! How cool was it to hear the CC chants? Although my cat C.C. was a little perturbed. She did give the starter some grudging credit, but she ...

CC Sabathia Dominates Angels: Yankees Take Game One
theghostofmoonlightgraham.wordpress.com 10/17/2009 — The New York Yankees beat the Angels last night 4-1 behind Sabathia's eight solid innings and some surprisingly bad Angels defense to take a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven ALCS.
This game really reminded me of an NCAA tournament game where it's a No. 13 seed plays a No. 4 seed.
