could be right over Met Life stadium Wednesday night if the storm track is being accurately predicted over the next several days. It'll be down to a weaker tropical depression by then but the persistent rains and wind could make for tough conditions trying to throw and catch the ball.

Thanks! I was already worried enough about starting Nicks coming off a broken foot, now I have this to worry about?!

Buddy of mine is an assistant trainer at the Meadowlands, spoke to him yesterday about a particular trotter, and he went on to tell me that the coming storm(s) are a concern to those under employ at the whole facility.

The local NYC meteorologists are letting on along the same lines. We had a similar scare last year, right about this time. Tail end of a 'cane blew through on a Saturday, and was pretty nasty, though not as significant as had been forecast.

There should be at least 8 players going that night, FF wise, who may be extremely hampered if this comes to fruition
