Rain Delay

Rain delays the start of the Yankees-Red Sox game. Luckily, TNT is showing the Wizard of Oz. Right now, some guy in a turban is telling the fortune of a young woman, but Ozzie Smith must show up at some point.

ESPN noted two interviews Manny Ramirez gave today. In one, to ESPN Deportes, Manny said he would approve a trade if the Red Sox found one. In the other, to the Boston ESPN radio station, he said both sides were sick of the other, and that he likely wouldn't be traded, because the Red Sox could not get enough value back.

Update: TNT finally fixed the color on the broadcast. So far, however, there are lots of short people, but no shortstops. I'm not sure what lollipops have to do magical defense?

Update: A green woman just appeared. She seems to be taking her love of the Oakland Athletics a bit too far.

Update: Okay, the young woman is off to see the wizard. She's going to the Emerald City, however. I would think she'd be making her way to Busch Stadium. I hope she can get tickets at the gate.

Update: Mmmm. The scarecrow just showed up. Maybe this is a Batman movie. Ozzie was a pretty good hitter with the Cardinals.

Update: The Tin Man is a fan of Oil Can Boyd! None of the trees impressed me with their fast apples, however.

Update: Green woman has quite the heater.

Update: The game is getting underway in New York. Someone let me know if the young woman meets Ozzie Smith in St. Louis.

Nicely done, David. Until this series, the Sox had the same mantra. There's no place like home.
