Come Rain or Randy

Yankee fans young and old are hoping that the rainy forecast for the Bronx area tonight for Game 3 against the Los Angeles-Irvine-Laguna Beach-Encinitas-Huntington Beach-Palm Springs-Orange County-Diamond Bar-we can't figure out our identity-Angels of Anaheim will not cause any disturbances in the delicate balance that is the the pitching psyche of Randy Johnson. A worst case scenario would probably involve pulling him off the mound and running him back out there through multiple rain delays. The Angels have a better middle relief so they would be less worried to face the downpours. It may be the only competitive advantage they have tonight against the Yanks.

From a fan perspective, it should prove to be a pretty challenging afternoon/evening/night with the rain slowing down the already dreadful Friday traffic, the NYC subway terror threat, and the impending rain delays that will turn the sold-out Stadium's concourses into a Niagra Falls caving experience. Don't forget to bring your deodorant and your panchos kids!
