Cubs-Yankees Notes (Tickets Released, Weather)

Two public service announcements for those contemplating attendance at the games this weekend:

1) While tickets have been steadily available for the past few days, it looks like the Yankees just (late Thursday) released a bunch of *good* seats. I just upgraded to three $50 tickets right behind the plate for Saturday, and there are also 360 club and "legends" seats available. If you need tickets or are looking for an upgrade, now is the time. (Only downside is the upgrade is moving me out of the section with the Cubs STH.)

2) The weather is a significant factor for tomorrow night, but right now the forecast is for the rain/possible thunderstorms to move out right before gametime. Lets hope that holds or gets even better.

Can't think of any better way to open the building than with a Cubs sweep. Anybody want to bring a goat and see if they let it in?

I just pulled up a pair...

… in main level 223, lower deck behind the on deck circle, for $45 each. So there are available tix if anyone still wants to go.

Plenty of seats available on stub hub for a reasonable price.

current weather

Raining cats, dogs and other animals. Pretty bad. The friend I was going with is going to skip it. I am going because
what the hell only a subway ride. Feel bad for folks coming to town just to see this.

Radar looks promising

The main line of storms seems to be through the city now (a good 4.5 hours before the first pitch). There does not seem to be much rain behind that line at the moment, so unless there is a sudden change, I would expect the game to be played with few complications. Whether Lilly will be allowed to pitch outdoors is another matter.
