Buzz: Rain, Rain, Go Away
The buzz from in New York is that if the
game against the Marlins is rained out on Friday, it will most likely be made up as part of a split-admission double header on Saturday.
If Saturday’s game is rained out, it will likely be made up on Sunday as a double header with the Shea Stadium farewell possibly occurring between the two games – not after as originally scheduled. This would suggest that it is not a split-admission game, meaning people who have tickets from Saturday may get jilted, which would be a total disaster.
On the other hand, could you imagine if – after an emotional farewell celebration in the afternoon – the Mets end up clinching a playoff spot in the final regular-season game. I mean, wow, now that would be an amazin’ day.
I have no idea what would happen if Thursday’s game is rained out. I’m guessing they will push it aside, and replay it on Monday if they absolutely have to.
Lastly, please note that the above is just total rumor and speculation at this point, since the team and their television network will not make an official decision until they absolutely have to – and understandably so.
In other words, just pray for sunshine – because the above situations coupled with a potential tie in the standings could make for a seriously messed up weekend to say the least.
