I'd guess it is about 7 or 7 1/2 hours....So yeah, it would be quite a hike!

If it wasn't the week before my convention, I might drive up there for some baseball. Hope folks turn out!

It is being considered a "neutral site" series....at the suggestion of the Indian's management. They just want to play baseball, and right now their stadium is not in shape for it.

Milwaukee and Chicago fans will be the ones attending. I'd be there, but I have to work all three nights....

How does Matsui's injury do to the Yankees' line up? I know he's officially on the 15 day DL but given he has a hamstring injury, I think he'll be out longer than 15 days. I've had that type of injury before and it hurts and doesn't heal that quickly.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

He missed over 5 months last season and they still won the division by 10 games, I think the Yankees wil be fine.

But last year they didn't have as many questions about their starting rotation as they do this year.

And considering A-Rods on fire right now (he hit another HR tonight) they really don't miss his offense now.

Someone needs to brush him back...he's in a comfort zone.....a couple high and tight will stop him from diving over the plate!!

Poor Seattle, first they get an entire series in Cleveland wiped out because of snow in Cleveland, then when they finally get to play their first game in a week they get pounded 14-3 in Boston and now tomorrow's game at Fenway, scheduled to start at 4pm is very much in doubt because of?? Snow :-? Making matters worse is they only have one trip to Cleveland this season and only one trip to Fenway so their future schedule could be in complete disarray with all these makeup games.
