Yankees-Guardians ALDS Game 5 postponed, MLB looks dumb

The forecast said it was going to rain on Monday night in the Bronx. And it did. Who would have thought it?

Not MLB, apparently. The Guardians and Yankees (and fans) schlepped out to Yankee Stadium for Game 5 of the ALDS, stood around, got wet … and then the game was finally postponed. So the do-or-die elimination game will now be played Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. ET, and the winner will then need to immediately fly to Houston for Game 1 of the ALCS against the Astros on Wednesday night.

Think they want that wildly unnecessary off-day between Games 1 and 2 (which was also rained out) back?
