This Yankees/Orioles game is a joke

Do they still have a pressbox phone? Great night to prank it.

 

I'm sure, but he's often referenced falling asleep for especially late and/or long games.

 

It must really suck to be you. You seem miserable.

 

Nah, it's awesome being me. I just hate the Yankees, like most people in the world.

 

Congratulations to Tom Jolly for coining a new term, the midnight-daylight doubleheader:

@TomJolly -- Tom Jolly

Too bad the weather is so bad; I'd go watch the #Yankees play game 1 of their midnight-daylight doubleheader.

 

Game's moving along pretty well so far.

Yanks and Red Sox should take note.

 

Had tickets to this game. Was going to go with three buddies, including one who I haven't seen since he got laid off several months ago. We texted back and forth all day and finally at 6 decided not to go. They all had to drive in and didn't want to drive, then sit for a few hours, get it canceled and drive home. I'm only about 25 minutes away on the subway. Kind of wish I would have gone, would have been a great story to tell. Kind of glad I didn't, can't imagine sitting there for four hours by myself. Would have felt like Travis Bickle by the end of it.

Similar thing happened three years ago when my cousin visited for one of the final games at the old Stadium. Rained all day, knew they wouldn't play it. We sat there for three hours in the stands before they called it. But that wasn't bad because he'd never been to the stadium so we were able to sit in it for three hours, then made it to the second game of the doubleheader the next night.

The guy who bought our tickets is demanding they give him a rain check.

 

For two teams who never have to worry about a lost gate and the impact on the bottom line, the Yankees and Red Sox are the absolute worst when it comes to banging a game.

 

The Yankees have done similar things in the past, including earlier this year, I believe.

Same thing though. It'll be against the A's or the Mariners or some team like that.

 

So is it safe to say everyone here is rooting for this thing to go about 19 innings?
