I'm sure there's some good website that tracks whether or not games are going to be rained out. Have tix for the game tonight and the weather doesn't look good. Any help from the experts in here?

 
At Camden Yards they always open the Gates to try and get some retail sales before the game is called. I can only remember one or two times they called it earlier and it was because the weather was so bad nobody was going to the stadium anyway.

I remember a game at Camden against the Yanks that was played in basically a hurricane. I think they got to the 4th or 5th and it was canceled anyway. Possibly the worst conditions I've ever seen a game attempted to be played in.
 
they really need to do something about these amputee no-smoking commercials. I don't smoke, I don't want to watch commercials about ugly chicks missing their digits. :wall:

 
2 innings, 8 batters, 5 K's for Lester :goodposting:

Jon Lester has tied the all-time record for strikeouts in a game in "New" Yankee Stadium III with 5, He joins AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia.

Dang, the C's are fighting back, I need to record this or something.

Yankees fans told Red Sox game cancelled, not let back into Stadium

Hundreds of irate fans - some who claim Yankee employees told them the game had been rained out - stormed away from Yankee Stadium before Monday night's game against the Red Sox even got underway and couldn't get back in, resulting in a an ugly scene at one of the ticket gates.

With rain falling for hours and no start time announced until shortly before 9 p.m., hordes of fans began leaving the Stadium and heading home - some who said they had been advised that the game had been called by Yankee employees who walked the concourse holding pinstriped "How may I help you?" signs.

When a 9:20 p.m. start time was eventually announced over the public address system, a crowd on the sidewalk outside Gate 6 tried to get back into the Stadium, only to have the employees working the turnstiles promptly close the doors in their faces. Panicked fans began racing up and down the sidewalk, trying to find a way back into the ballpark, while others remained at Gate 6 either pleading or demanding to be let back in.

"We talked to the security personnel, who said there was zero chance they were going to play the game," said Tom Stuart, a 27-year-old from Astoria who waited out most of the rain delay before leaving with his girlfriend. "We spent three hours drinking beer - you can't drink much because they're 10 bucks apiece - now they're going to play a game in front of 35 fans."

Becky Wright, who flew in from Oregon for Monday night's game, had bought two tickets as a birthday present for her 16-year-old son, Seth O'Neil. They left the game because "the guys holding the 'How may I help you signs?' said they weren't going to play," said Wright. They were among the hundreds of fans outside Gate 6 trying to get back into the Stadium.

Jason Zillo, a Yankee spokesman, said the team has a firm no-reentry policy. He also said the NYPD and Stadium security hadn't let any fans back into the ballpark.

"We're a part of hundreds of people, if not thousands," said Martin Watson, a 39-year-old New Yorker who spent $800 for four tickets and tried to reenter through Gate 6. "This is not fan-friendly. This is B.S. You pay money for a top-of-the-line franchise, and you get bottom-of-the-line customer service."

"I built this Stadium and they won't let me in it," a man wearing a local union jacket said before storming off.

While fans were being rebuffed outside Gate 6, scores were having their tickets rescanned outside Gate 4 and being allowed back into the Stadium, but that lasted only for a limited time.

One fan, who was wearing a No. 2 Derek Jeter jersey and a backward Yankee hat, approached a reporter to say he had been let back in, but couldn't do so because the Yankees wouldn't rescan his father's ticket. A turnstile supervisor directed the reporter and several fans to the customer service window, which was locked.

At least one fan was arrested outside the Stadium. Roseanna Franco, 25, of White Plains, was charged with assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after she allegedly kicked a New York City police officer after not being let back in.

Stadium security also threatened to revoke the credential of Daily News photographer Robert Sabo, who was shooting the scene outside Gate 6 - a location photographers weren't prohibited from working at on Opening Day.

"They were super-embarrassed and told me to go back to my position on the field or they'd take my credential," Sabo said.

After most of the crowd had dispersed outside Gate 6, turnstile workers opened the doors and began letting people back into the Stadium. But it was already too late for hundreds of fans.

"This is unfair what they did to the people," said one Yankee employee who witnessed the entire scene outside Gate 6. He declined to give his name for fear of losing his job, but added: "For the people who left the game, what are they going to do about their money?"

Because this is currently one of the least fan friendly organizations in sports.

Incorrect. It's because nobody allows re-entry. You'd have people sharing tickets all over the joint. I realize last night was a unique case, but you can't just abandon a policy that is firmly in place because then it opens up all kind of issues.-People pass tickets to each other through the gate to share...-Person A prints their ticket at home, and uses that to get the bar code scanned to get in. Their friend takes the original stub and explains to the usher, "I was already inside and had to leave -- here's my stub to prove it".-People leave a game that's in a 20 minute rain delay, then trying to get back in and claiming "Oh I was told such and such"Not EVERYTHING that happens in the Bronx is about the Yankees being Satan, you know.

Please, I've been to 4 games this year and every time the experience gets more annoying. From having to show a ticket stub everytime I enter my section, to 9 dollar beers and garlic fries, to the way they handled the whole relocation process with their fear-mongering, to the way they handled the rain the past two nights (starting a game at 9:20 against your biggest rival in the rain), to the montrosity that is the Sports Bar in center field, its all a joke. Sadly the joke's on the paying customers.

I don't know what's funny...it is. The place is beautiful and watching the actual game viewing experience is great once you're actually in your seat, but they way they've treated everyone the past 6 months has been abysmal. You can laugh all you want, but its the truth and I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Nobody allows reentry. That being said I agree with you that the organization is going down the tubes. It all started once The Boss gave up control. :thumbdown:
