Talk About A Rain Delay

Surprisingly, there is a decent crowd at the Tiger game tonight against the Yankees. Why is that surprising? Well, the game was originally scheduled for 7:05 pm, and it started at 11:05 pm. Apparently, they couldn't have done the usual thing and played a doubleheader one of the next three days. The severe thunderstorms created a 4-hour rain delay. I don't know why they just didn't cancel it. Maggs hit a 2-run homer in the first and the Tigers lead 2-1 so far, so I can't complain yet. Maybe it's past Rocket's bedtime?
