Okay, we're speaking in hypotheticals here. I keep hearing how the umps 'cheated' for the Yankees by delaying and cancelling the game last night.
This is wrong, and here's why: It was drizzling... and the forecast predicted heavy rain. The umps are of the opinion that there's an hour to an hour and a half of rain coming.
If they start the game... and call a rain delay for an hour after the third inning... then Mussina and Verlander are gone... and both teams have to go into their bulpens.
So who would be hurt more here? The Yanks, by getting only 3 innings from Mussina?
Or the Tigers... who would have their Ace, Justin Verlander for only 3 innings... and then probably not again until game 5?
