Good day for baseball, our starter isn't completely overmatched, and we have pitching prospects going in all 3 levels today.

HTML and probably about 100 edits during the game. I'm an obsessive baseball nerd with a little too much free time to follow a horrific team with maybe, hopefully, kinda sorta, a bright future, I think.

I can't believe they actually restarted that game last night. Wonder if they would have done it if the Yankees were ahead

I had no doubt, yankees ahead or not, the whole night would have needed to be rained out. It was not a getaway day, and neither was the next day. However, the Yankees are not scheduled to come back to KC. They would have waited to midnight if they had to.
