weather/esp. in northeast

[pipeville]

Just wanted to check how the weather was looking around the country. I?m in New York and I would say it?s extremely doubtful the Yanks will play tonight. Pouring now and scheduled to pour all day. And even if it does stop, I don?t know if I?d want to play the Yankees and lay -150 and find out Pettitte pitches 3 innings and doesn?t come back after a rain delay. The Yanks weakness is long relief and I wouldn?t want to count on them for a win. If anyone has any input from any of the other sites that might see bad weather (Cleveland, Philly, Baltimore, etc.) I?d be interested in hearing what they have to say. I don?t want to lay -190 with Colon and see Tim Drew pitching in the fifth.
Good luck to all.

Right now it's pretty nice out here in Milwaukee, but it is scheduled to get pretty cool, so my best guess is the roof is closed tonight.

I'll post more if/when I know any more.

balt no rain so far today as of 130 eastern.
but they are calling for strong storms this afternoon after 300 eatern and tilll 1000.
also some just rain storms mixed in the middle of the strong storms.

Currently raining hard in Cleveland. There's a small chance it may let up by game time. Looking out my window, wind is strong out of the west going directly east. It may help push the rain out. Will try to update around gametime.

 

[nole47]

it may help push the ball out too with that wind.

 

[NJO]

It's getting very dark in Milwaukee, guaranteeing the roof is closed at Miller Park tonight.

As of 5 p.m. Yankee game hasn't been cancelled and local radio guys say that Yanks usually call games early when they plan on cancelling. With a huge gate coming in tonight for the Red Sox, they say the Yanks will be willing to play through rain tonight and don?t be surprised to see them sitting around through long rain delays. For me, that makes me want to stay away from the Yanks because as I?ve said previously, they won?t take a chance hurting Pettitte and might end up turning the game over to the bullpen early. Hopefully for all Yankee bettors will get Ramiro Mendoza, but depending on if whether Torre wants to save him, you could also see Todd Williams or Brian Boehringer. Despite their pretty good ERAs, I don?t think anyone's impressed with Williams or Boehring. Good luck in whoever you play.

PS. I have tickets to tomorrow night's game and hope they get tonight's in so I can see David Cone take the mound in a Boston uniform. Despite pitching poorly in his last few starts, I?ll still take Mike Mussina over David Cone and his 5 IP.

we just had some strong thunderstorms in Charlotte N.C. The Charlotte knights might be delayed.(whitesox aaa affiliate)

Update from Cleveland. Skies cleared, presently sunny with little wind. Still chilly with temps in the mid to high 50's. A little muggy, believe it or not.

More importantly, Vizquel is not starting tonight, but is available according to radio reports.
