Nothing says excitement like... a rain check! It's Mussina vs. Verlander at Yankee Stadium in a day game to make up for last night's rain-out. Use the Comments area to offer (and track) real-time commentary about the game's action.
Update: A-Rod just struck out looking with the bases loaded to end the inning. ESPN mercifully cut to commercial just as the boos were beginning to cascade. He brings it on himself. Three pitches!

3Ks for Mussina in the 1st!?
Is he returning to form or are the Tigers' bats cold from the delay?
The radio guys from Detroit are mentioning empty seats. Hey, NY is the new Ted-lanta!
Boston fans have no place for someone with the mindset of "well, if I can't play for Boston, I'll go play for the Yanks."
Case 1, A-Rod.
Case 2, Damon.
Every other '04 hero who's returned was greeted warmly. (Roberts and Lowe at the ring ceremony, Cabrera with the Angels, Pedro back in June.)
Yeah, Chris W.: welcome to the 2006 Yankees batting lineup.
As Rob Neyer alluded to in a chat a few days ago, they do make Jesus Hates the Yankees T-Shirts.

I know what I'm asking Santa for Xmas...
Dan, I'm sure it would make a good Hanukah (Chanukah?) present too.
That would be just like some of the bastard Yankees fans to treat a playoff game like it's no big deal... bastards I tell you.
No wonder Jesus hates them.
Okay, I'll stop with that now...
Haters...Love so many haters are blogging as the wonder what Boston will due next year, boo-hoo. And as far as A-Rod and his "off year" Boston and ever other AL team wished they had a third basemen with A-Rod's stats.
Wont lose faith him, Dont care how bad he does...he has the talent. he Was MVP last year, Jeter this year. Most likely Cano next..or even better how about Bobby.
Dont hate..it just makes you look bad.
Jesus might wanna slide into the mug after a homer?
What sausage would Jesus be?
(Oh man, I'm going to hell....)
Jesus watches soccer.
'I like Jesus very much. But he no help with curve ball'
Last I checked it was Yankees fans that are hating on A-Rod just as much as everyone else.
If any other team had them, I don't think he'd get the boos that Yankees fans give him. So don't talk to us about hating.
You guys are so fucking spoiled and cry every year you don't win the World Series. Yankees fans expect it as a right of passage or something like that.
Yes, I'm a bitter Red Sox fan who is upset they didn't make the postseason. But my hope all season was that they would just make it to the postseason. We didn't and so no we just root for any team that's facing the Yankees (or for the Mets, our brethren in Yankee hating).
Yes, the Red Sox fanbase got very spoiled and has whined a lot about not making the postseason and no doubt earned the ire of many fans after we won in '04, and that I understand. So I completely understand why some people don't like the Red Sox for the same reasons that people hate the Yankees.
But I guarantee you that Red Sox fans wouldn't have booed A-Rod for the year he's having. Only Yankees fans are that dumb.
So you can say what you want about people being "haters", but don't pretend like Yankees fans are any better when they're out there booing one of the best players to ever play the game... especially when he plays for their team.
Anyone who wouldn't call in sick to go to a playoff game didn't deserve the tickets in the first place.
Ha! Chris, look at Leyland! What else was he going to say? He's a man's man, he got to "go right at them". And it's pretty much working (it's not like we're blowing you guys out of the water).
Which is why I wish the Yankees had fixed their pitching instead of their hitting.
This might be the late inning rally I was talking about. MVP time.

todd - like you said you are bitter, please and dont make it like ever Yankee fan is booing A-Rod and like Boston has never booed one of it's own. Need I mention Manny, every year, and anytime he has had some bad play in the field you hear it. And please dont pretend Boston doesnt hate.
And why the cursing..cant have a civilized discussion?
and you are right we do feel we should be in and win the series every year. Why be happy with anything less? Then you wonder why it took 86 years.
First of all, apologies to everyone who is not a Yankees fan, because the Red Sox do have the 2nd highest payroll in baseball, (although a staggering 80 million lower than the Yankees). Also, apologies to anyone who thinks that we Red Sox fans have an exclusive right to Yankee hating, we know everyone else does too.
True, not all Yankees fans boo A-Rod, but it sure sounds like a lot of them do.
As for Manny, he asks to leave, and let's face it, he doesn't always appear like he's giving it 100%. Booing for lack of effort (or being Rudy Saenez) is one thing, but Yankees fans constantly booing A-Rod is ridiculous.
Even when Manny is up to his antics, he doesn't draw the home-crowd ire that A-Rod does for striking out.
At least agree with me that booing A-Rod is dumb, and that those Yankees fans doing it aren't good fans.
If we can agree on that, then there is some hope...
And if I were a Royals fan, I think I'd be happy enough breaking .500 if it looked like the team were heading in the right direction.
OK, OK...everyone take a deep breath and settle down... it's a long playoffs season.

Apologies Dan, meant no disrespect to you.
You're raising your kid a Mets fan right? Do they make baby tees for Shawn Green (who went to my high school).
"and ever other AL team wished they had a third basemen with A-Rod's stats."
Mmm, no thanks, I'll stick with the 3rd baseman across town.
hooray!
A Dud 0-4 with 3 Ks. Ha.Ha.Ha.
I just wish the Yankee fans would realize they are making it worse on Alex not better. Though at this point I find myself missing Scott Brosius
I think the fans ARE making A-Rod worse, but why does he wear 13? Why does he take only 4 pitches at key at-bats on a team where that's considered bad baseball?
He's not a bad guy, but he's clearly not normal. As an overpaid player having a bad game, I'm not surprised that they booed.
I'm getting depressed. Maybe even Torre and Jeter can't overcome A-Rod's curiously bad karma.
Maybe even Torre and Jeter can't overcome #13's bad karma.
Cano and A-rod thanks for blowing the game. A-rod 0-4 with 3 strikeouts, Cano 0-4 with 6 runners left on base. Cano, just because you are a good hitter doesnt mean you can be too proud to put down a damn bunt. If you bunt in the 2nd to move 1st and 2nd nobody out to 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, Damon's fly to center scores a run. And the 9th was just pitiful. Lead off single by Matsui and Posada, Cano and Damon all go up there trying to win the game with a walk off 2 run homerun. Posada how about this, learn how to fucking bunt so we have a runner in scoring position for Cano or Damon to slap one the other way. God, they piss me off so much sometimes!
A win for Detroit is a win for America.
Did NY leave an entire borough on base today?
TBender, you can't speak for America, you live in Texas. Most of America wouldn't mind if we gave good for nothing Texas back to Mexico.
True, Kurt, True. I know I'd give us back to Mexico (and move back to Illinois).
I have to root for the Tigers. AL Central- best division in the MLB!
Jeter struck out in the 7th. Where was Mr. Clutch? HUH? HUH???? Yea...fuck you Yankee fans. Don't appreciate that you have a great thing.
Sorry Arod K'd with the bases loaded, but did you see the pitches? Verlander was painting corners with a 100mph fastball, then broke off a nasty curve on the outside corner. Only the mighty Pujols could hit that sequence.
