Ok Yankees, this is it! We need to get this W today (I can hope can’t I?!)!!
For the second straight year, the weather has intruded on a New York Yankees-Detroit Tigers playoff game.
Wednesday night’s Game 4 of the AL Championship Series was delayed for about 1 hour, 10 minutes because of anticipated storms in the area, which had not arrived when the game was officially called off but did come later Wednesday night.
According to an announcement in the pressbox, the game was postponed “to preserve the integrity of an uninterrupted contest.”
“They kept saying it was going to come and it never came,” Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer said. “So, go figure.”
The first pitch had been scheduled for 8:07 p.m., but shortly before then, the crowd was informed of the delay. A radar forecast for the Detroit area was eventually posted on the scoreboard video screen, as if to explain to fans why there was no baseball despite what was still rather pleasant weather at the ballpark.
The scheduled pitching matchup of Sabathia vs. Scherzer was pushed back to Thursday at 4:07 p.m.
GO YANKEES!!!
