We all survived Hurricane Irene, and now baseball is back this Sunday as the Orioles today play a day-night doubleheader at Camden Yards.
It looks like baseball will be a played as the crazy weather has headed up north. It looks like the damage in the area was minimal – minus some power outages, trees being uprooted and branches being snapped.
It was really windy on the drive up I-95 from Montgomery County into Baltimore with periods of rain; however, everything seems fine here as the clouds are grey, but there’s no precipitation to speak of at the moment.
Right now, the ballpark doesn’t look too full. Maybe there’s a late crowd, or the crappy weather that came through the region caused fans to stay home.
I don’t know why the two teams can’t play a straight doubleheader (oh yes, the ever-so lucrative gate money and revenue), but it is going to be a very, very long day.
In game one on Sunday, the Orioles hope to continue their winning streak as pitcher Zach Britton squares off against the rotund Bartolo Colon for the Yankees.
In game two, Baltimore’s Brian Matusz takes on New York’s Ivan Nova on the mound.
