Tanaka gives up 1 in 8 innings and strikes out 13 and Kyle has another meltdown

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is gonna be a knife in the heart to watch.

I believe you meant "Kyle holds court on how awful everything is with his normal grace and eloquence."

[wekim81]

I'm all for honoring Jackie Robinson, but does everyone have to wear #42? It's confusing. Couldn't there be a different way? This is going to be an unpopular opinion that's going to have everyone hating me, isn't it??

[SouthSideRyan]

I just don't like how many Mariano Rivera references there are going to be.

Every Cubs fan should have melted down over Tanaka.

[Schwarber Fan]

I know you'll all be shocked to see this, but this one looks like a rainout.

[ctcf]

Sitting here in CT, I can pretty much promise it will be. It's freaking pouring here and looks set to all day.

[UMFan83]

Looks like a doubleheader on Wednesday then. Cubs are off Thursday but the Yankees have a game in Tampa. Cubs go to NY to play the Mets in August but no off days surround that trip.

[jersey cubs fan]

It's the Yankees, and Jackie Robinson Day, so they will do whatever they can to get this game started at least. It's not raining here now.

 

They can probably make a case that the heaviest rain will pass before it gets too late. I've been to 2 NYY games in the past couple years and both included extremely long rain delays. I'm guessing I will have to head out there and waste money on beer before leaving disappointed. But that would be the case regardless of the rain.

[Friendly Confines]

Postponed - day/night doubleheader tomorrow

[jersey cubs fan]

[SouthSideRyan]

Aramis Fan got one right!

Of course.

[ctcf]

Well there goes my productivity.

Postponed

 

Tuesday's game between the Cubs and Yankees has been postponed due to rain.

It's currently raining in the Bronx and the forecast doesn't get more promising going into the evening, so they decided to nix things early. The teams will play a day-night doubleheader Wednesday, with the first game beginning at 1:05 p.m. ET.
