5. Game Called On Account Of Shorts?
Water and electronics don't mix very well and I imagine both MLB and the Television Network is sweating out the loss of revenue now.

9. incorrect
on so many accounts.
1) the water main break was in washington heights, manhattan. it is across the east river from the bronx. not right outside the statium
the roads around it were affected but all is well now

2)if lights go out at a statium the rules clearly state that the visting team loses. its called home field advantage. :)


GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peace
david
:hippie:

10. Lower Deck of GW Bridge is still out, though - and still traffic issues
Also just heard on the radio that they evacuated a number of apartment buildings up around 178th and Amsterdam becuase of the flooding.

But at this point, they're still saying to find another way tot eh stadium than to come over the GWB.

13. p.s. - I'm not too far away from the flood,
but thankfully, I'm in Hamilton Heights, so I'm at the top of one of the larger hills in Manhattan. In fact, when I walk to the end of my block to Amsterdam, I can see the emprie State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Citicorp building. Thank God I'm on a hill, Whew!!

Couldn't imagine having to evacuate my apartment becuase of a flood.
