Times Are Hard In The Kingdom of Yankees

Before I begin, let me caveat by saying with absolute happiness that I am talking about a 3rd place team. (Go Rays!)

By many measures, things are not going well in Yankee Nation. The day after the parent club faced a possible injury to the Mighty Joba, it seems the Tampa Yankees forgot to pay the electric bill. King George cannot be pleased.

From OurSportsCentral.com,

"Light failure at Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday night forced the Fort Myers Miracle and Tampa Yankees into a suspended ball game with the Miracle ahead 2-0. The stadium lights were on pre-game but suddenly went dark just before first pitch. The stadium fire alarm went off immediately after the lights and forced the contest to halt heading into the fourth inning."

Somewhere the sounds of Young Hank playing his fiddle are echoing in the night.
