    That's what ESPN just reported, I figure it will probably even be later. It's never exactly when they report, always a bit later.

    I have to leave for class by 2:45...I was looking forward to seeing some Yankees baseball before that. Play through the drizzle!

    Per ESPN: 2PM start. That's probably not set in stone, though.

    I just drove through the Riverdale section of the Bronx, about 3-4 miles from the stadium. Lite drizzle here, definitely playable.

    A delayed start will give me a chance to at least watch part of the game after work. I'm hoping for a 4pm start.

    I rushed back from the gym to catch the game.
    I hope the delay isn't too long.
    I'm ready for a ballgame.
    I'm curious how the new mlb.tv 1.2M connection will work.

    I forgot about the ESPN blackout in-market... dammit. So frustrating to not be able to watch the game when I'm in Manhattan.

    EDIT: Anyone got a place to watch the game in the Union Square area?

    Any sports bar should have it, I used to go to a place called the Pour House on 3rd and 10th or 11th, they have a bunch of screens and a lot of beer.

    Edit: Used to go for Happy Hour, not Yankee games.

    Here's a radar loop. Looks like light rain is lingering but it should be pushing to the east sometime soon.

    Better get this game in.....I used a vacation day so I could stay home and watch it. I'll be very pissed if I wasted benefit time for nothing.

    I know the place well, I pass it every day. Problem is, I'm still underage (I turn 20 on Thursday)... alas, I should've specified that little caveat.
