    Also, talking about a future game that hasn't been rained out yet.

    I would suspect that if Thursday is rained out, it will get made up August 25th. Although there is a day off at for both teams at the end of the series in Houston in July.However, I think that would be last on MLB's list with it effectively takign a home game away from the Yankees.

    There is a chance they get it in, but it could be an awful game with a number of rain delays. Every hour after 5pm(eastern) has less than a 50% chance of rain as of now, per Weather Channel.

    I'd figure they'd be able to get it in eventually... even if its a delayed start.

    Isn't that hard to travel from NY to Milwaukee, even if they end up playing till really late.

    I'm sure this may have been mentioned earlier in the thread but I missed it. The Yankees have tried to kill secondary ticket sales by requiring the original ticket be used for entry. There will be no at home printing of tickets effectively killing the use of sites like StubHub to resell tickets. John Oliver took exception to this and bought tickets behind home plate for the opening series. he sold them for 25 cents to people who could look the most ridiculous. Yesterday we got ninja turtles, any guesses at what we will get tonight and tomorrow?

    Here is an article about it.

    White in the lineup. Good news.

    I'm not sure what kind of rules there are regarding clothing, but you almost feel like there needs to be a Borat bathing suit. How more inappropriate could you get?

    I'm pretty surprised. I figured they'd sit him these 2 games.

    The octopus guy in the article I posted was pretty inappropriate. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't get in though.

    Wow, cant believe White is in the lineup...that's pretty crazy. :eek:

    You'd think he'd at least get some slight swelling on his finger or some discomfort to the point where he cant grip the bat like he'd want to.

    I'm not sure why folks are surprised, it was expected that White would start in Game 2 before the series began.

    I'm not worried about any other team except the Astros at this point in time! Can talk about other teams in late September, but I hope we don't have to.

    Folks are "surprised" because he took a pretty bad one on the hand/finger yesterday.
