On the Yankees beat

Here in this lovely city of Detroit it's raining so hard we can barely see the city's skyline beyond the right-centerfield wall from the press box.

Fans are even being cautioned for their safety. The scoreboard reads, "Due to severe weather in the area we ask that all fans in the 200 and 300 levels proceed to the nearest ramp or stairwell and head to the lower deck concourse. If you are seated in the 100 level, please head up to the main concourse areas."

And just as I typed that, the first thunder and lightning came, and it was loud.

Who knows if we get this in. Mike Mussina warmed up, but the tarp never completely came off, as the grounds crew apparently was aware of the impending poor weather. With no more trips to Detroit, a rainout would mean a doubleheader tomorrow.

UPDATE:
Just like that, the sky is clear. So much for the world ending.
