From the Daily News:

Yankees get suite revenge

Here's a Yankees-Red Sox "suite story" that not surprisingly is actually not so sweet. It seems when John Henry and the rest of the Red Sox ownership group arrived at Yankee Stadium for Game 1 of the ALCS last week they were informed that the luxury suite they'd been accustomed to getting was not available.

Instead, they were assigned seats outside by the Red Sox dugout - in the midst of alien Yankee Nation. I'm told they were not pleased, although when an inquiry was made to the Yankees about it, a source said it was merely a reciprocation for the lousy seats their limited partners and officials were given at last year's ALCS at Fenway Park.

"They were about the farthest suite - if you could call it that - down the left-field line," said one of the limited Yankee partners. "You had to walk a plank to get into this suite and then you had to crane your head just to see the plate. It had to be the worst suite in the ballpark."

When they arrived at Fenway for Game 3, Yankee officials told the Red Sox not to bother with the suite - that they'd just as soon sit outside in the same sort of box seats by the Yankee dugout as they gave the Sox brass at Yankee Stadium. This is the Yankees' and Red Sox's idea of compromise.

Isn't that a bit obvious?

I see Schilling going no more than 5 innings with his bad ankle. Wakefield will probably come out pitch long relief until they can get to Foulke again.

After the game yesterday Francona said Wakefield was on fumes. He also seemed upbeat that Schilling could go deep in the game. His arm will be plenty rested. The ankle may be a factor, but it seems more like a "play or don't play" injury than one that would flare up after a few innings. I guess we'll see tonight but I expect a <2 or >6 inning outing from the way it's been talked about. Drizzle could be the worst on the injury if he's slipping on the mound.

Weather update from downtown NYC.

Its still drizzling a bit here. 1/2 the people are walking around with umbrellas while the rest seem to be running to get out of the rain. I can see drops of water hitting puddles outside once in a while.

It seems playable if they were to do it now.

Doesn't seem like the weather for a rainout - it's misty and cold, but they should play ball.
Goddamn I hope so. :D
