The Lyrics
If conditions are unplayable, it is the umpire's duty to stop the game until they ARE playable. That didn't happen in Game 2 of the ALDS between the Yankees and the Cleveland Indians.
(instrumental opening)
Often, I remember
the rain was coming down.
Clouds o'er ballpark forming.
Some puddles on the ground.
Good men in the dugout
trying to find the sun
and I wonder, still I wonder
who'll stop the game?
I was in Chicago
where the snow began to storm.
Not the field of Soldiers.
It's Wrigley and not warm.
Five inches of snowflakes
ivy-shivered pain
and I wonder, still I wonder
who'll stop the game?
(instrumental break)
Through the fog we're playing
San Francisco ball.
Crowd had rushed together
staying through it all.
Bugs on field in Cleveland.
Joba cannot pitch.
And I wonder, still I wonder
who'll stop the game?
(instrumental fadeout)

On those rare occasions when the Yankees lose, there hasn't been a bizarre element to it. This was bizarre. If it had happened TO the Indians, or the Red Sox, or the Cubs, or the Phillies, we'd be talking about it as evidence of a "curse" on the team.

Funny!
good concept....and now a chance for a world series in the rocky mountains....brrrrrrrrr
Late October + night + Rocky Mountains = Green Bay cold? Then again, Rocky Mountains + Rockies pitching + A-Rod and the steroided Giambi = BOOM!
Rain won't stop the game.
I sang
Great job... 5-5-5
To think, the Yankees are the only team that didn't resit a sweep.
2Eagle, the rain can, it depends on how long and hard it'll rain. To Michael, do you noticed how the bugs didn't affect Carmona? He could be the one who's behind this so he can mess Joba up, Santana isn't the only one who can perform some supernatural voodoo ritual. 555 bugs.
