Yankees vs. Giants: What's the weather forecast for Saturday's game?
The Yankees have only themselves to blame for Friday night's treacherous loss to the Giants, played in a Bronx monsoon that risked injuries to every player who stepped on the swampy Yankee Stadium field. The Yankees should have postponed the game before it started. Instead, the Yankees took a 9-1 loss and added to their reputation of squeezing every dollar they can from their fans. The start of Friday's game was delayed 26 minutes and a silly half-hour rain delay prolonged the inevitable before it was finally ended.

Giants seek to extend blistering start in clash vs. Yankees
Hours before the San Francisco Giants continued their best start since 2003 at Yankee Stadium, manager Bob Melvin made lineup changes by moving Mike Yastrzemski up to the leadoff slot and switching LaMonte Wade Jr. from leadoff to sixth. The move worked out for the Giants, who will attempt to maintain their strong start Saturday afternoon when they visit the suddenly struggling New York Yankees. At 10-3, the Giants are off to their best 13-game start since the 2003 team bolted out to a 13-1 record and won 15 of its first 17 contests. The Giants used Wade for nine games at leadoff but he batted .125, while Yastrzemski hit well while batting lower in the lineup.
Boone: `Probably the worst conditions we've ever experienced' in Yankees' loss to Giants
Yankees manager Aaron Boone, after speaking with bench coach Brad Ausmus, didn't mince words about what they had just seen New York and the San Francisco Giants endure. “That's probably the worst conditions we've ever experienced and we've been doing this for a long time,” Boone said. On a cold night when play started after a 26-minute delay, umpires suspended the game with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth inning, then called it after the minimum 30-minute wait. San Francisco had burst to a 5-0, first-inning lead and went on to a 9-1 victory.
Reese Kaplan -- A Further Look at Center Field Options Out There
Along with the frequent chatter regarding the acquisition of Luis Robert, Jr., another name came up even more frequently of late, Carl Yasztremski's grandson named Mike who happens to play for the San Francisco Giants. An average season for that Yaz would bring you a .285 average with 22 HRs and 90 RBIs, though many years were far better than that. Currently earning $9.25 million to be the center fielder for the San Francisco Giants, he's better that what the team currently has in-house, but given his age and modest production the replacement of Jose Siri or Tyrone Taylor for this Yaz isn't going to cause dancing in the streets.
