Rain and baseball in the Big Apple

The San Francisco Giants are in the midst of 11 road games in 11 days, and their next stop is the city they called home from 1883 until 1957: New York.

But New York has a problem: rain.

The Giants and New York Mets were supposed to start a four-game series on Monday. Instead, that game got rained out long before it was supposed to start — and long before the rain began to fall, for that matter.

It’s still a four-game series, it’s just squeezed into three days. And, as many might have predicted when the season began, it’s a showdown between two of the top teams in the National League, and a few of the best pitchers, too.

This should be fun.
