And here I was, thinking of blasting the Evil Empire for wasting its fans' money, when, lo and behold, I discover this:

The Yankees announced they are rewarding those fans who stuck it out for Thursday's five-plus hour rain delay—and even those who left.

All fans with tickets to Thursday's game may redeem them for a free bleacher, grandstand or terrace ticket for any non-premium game for the rest of this season and in 2010. Fans can also use the tickets as coupons for half-price ticket in any other non-suite section.

I think this resolution is only fair, but the entire situation sure does point out a (possibly unforeseen) problem with interleague play.
