The Yankees were rained out in Baltimore last night. The game will be made up this afternoon and from here on in the Yankees have only one scheduled off-day on Thursday, September 21 to finish out the season.
But there’s one thing about rainouts. They upset the routine ballplayers, and those around them live by. It’s not a day off by any means. You’ve been at the ballpark at your normal time, and there’s nothing to do but watch movies, catch up on your email, eat, talk, and then eat and talk some more.
On the road, as the Yankees are, there’s nowhere to go except back to one of those cookie-cutter hotels you live half your life in.
