Get used to this: It’s raining at Fenway Park
The weather all weekend calls for a heck of a lot of water here in Boston, and it’s coming down on Friday afternoon. Put it this way – I can read the letters of the Green Monster’s out-of-town scoreboard on the warning track.
This from the Red Sox, who still hold out hope that there will be baseball today:
FENWAY AREA WEATHER UPDATE (As of 3:00 p.m.)
The current weather forecast (provided by the Red Sox private weather service, Meteorlogix) in the vicinity of Fenway Park calls for the possibility of a break in today’s rain showers, which are currently moving through the area, beginning in the very late afternoon hours. We are hopeful this will allow tonight’s Red Sox-Yankees game to be played as scheduled.
The Fenway Park gates will open at the regularly scheduled time of 5:05 p.m., and the Red Sox will do everything possible to play tonight’s game, which is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. However, the Red Sox want to alert our fans to the current forecast.
I would say it looks quite unlikely – the rain isn’t supposed to break until sometime Sunday.

It doesn’t matter if these games are played anyway.
I believe last nights game vs Halladay showed that possibly Gardner can hit quality pitching (3 – 4) against one of the better pitchers in the game. I realize it’s only one game, but appears there’s hope he can be a productive player in 2009.
Weather Moose can win his 20th, I say again he certainly should be the Yankees MVP. We’d be in the basement without him..
