The American League Championship Series starts tonight in New York as the Angels and Yankees face off at 7:57 EST. If you aren't a regular reader of my blog or don't know me I am a ginormous baseball fan and the Yankees are my team so this is like Christmas morning to me. Little did I realize that my Christmas morning would bring winter like conditions to Yankee Stadium. The weather report is a chilly one for game one as rain is in the forecast and temperatures will be hovering around 40 degrees. Oh but wait it gets better for fans and players alike as there will also be a 15-20 mile per hour wind whipping around the new stadium making it feel like it is in the mid 20's. I personally hate cold rain it is my least favorite kind of normal weather, we will exclude hurricanes and tornadoes, but if I could be in the stands for that game I would be. Instead I will watch from home and try not to shiver as I watch all these people that are soaking wet, and I will do my best to gut it out and not break out the Snuggie and the hot cocoa. I really hope the weather doesn't effect the teams too much , it would be nice to see a well played game in a tidy 2 hours and 45 minutes. So good luck to both teams, okay really only the guys in pinstripes, and remember to dress in layers boys.
