SubscribeJML Update: Games of May 4

On the Ups:
On the Downs:
Pareve: Ian Kinsler (Texas Rangers) was hitless in five at bats but his team still beat the Marienrs, 6-5.
Kevin Youkilis ( Boston Red Sox) was 0-3 in his team’s 6-4 rain-delayed, four-plus hour win over the Yankees. As if things weren’t bad enough, some fans, informed that the game was cancelled, left the stadium, only to be denied entry — a strict Yankees policy — when they tried to get back in after learning otherwise.
According to a story in the NY Daily News:
With rain falling for hours and no start time announced until shortly before 9 p.m., hordes of fans began leaving the Stadium and heading home – some who said they had been advised that the game had been called by Yankee employees who walked the concourse holding pinstriped “How may I help you?” signs.
When a 9:20 p.m. start time was eventually announced over the public address system, a crowd on the sidewalk outside Gate 6 tried to get back into the Stadium, only to have the employees working the turnstiles promptly close the doors in their faces. Panicked fans began racing up and down the sidewalk, trying to find a way back into the ballpark, while others remained at Gate 6 either pleading or demanding to be let back in.
