NEW YORK (AP) - Baseball fans have one more day to wait for the
opening of the 2009 World Series. And there could be more soggy
weather in the Bronx for Game 1 of the Fall Classic.
National Weather Service meteorologist John Murray says there's
a 30 percent chance of showers for Wednesday night's opener between
the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees. The gametime
temperature is expected to be about 47 degrees.
Cliff Lee, Pedro Martinez and Cole Hamels are the Phillies'
scheduled starters for the first three games. The Yankees will go
with CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte.
Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins is pretty confident. He said on
the "Jay Leno Show" last night that, "If we're nice we'll let it
go six (games), but I'm thinking five. Close it out at home."
