That is whacked!

Before we come to any hast conclusions, remember that this report was filed by AP!

I think it's pretty cheap of the flailing yankees to make this move, considering the circumstances.

The Yankee front office pretends it hasn't heard of force majeure.

[Jeff Chandler]

This is so un-Yankee like. Now if it were the whining Dodgers who wanted a forfeit...

[asgardshill]

I can see the Yankees' point. They train and get mentally ready to play (except perhaps against the Cleveland Indians) all day assuming that the game is supposed to start at a specific time. (I do not include an act of God such as rain that affects both teams in this.) Although its not the Devil Ray's fault about the transportation issue, its not the Yankees' fault either.

The rules do call for a forfeit under such circumstances, and I say give it to them. 1-0, Yanks.

The Rays are going to play a few double headers in the comming weeks. The played one of three against the Tigers on wednesday and postponed the other two for a double.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

The Yankees can feel the Red Sox breathing down their neck, they just lost their top pitcher, and they're playing like crap.

The Ketchup Boy campaign can see Dubya pulling ahead, Tad Devine is an idiot, and Cabana Boy and Breck Girl can't even fill a diner.

So what do they do? They both ask for a freebie. The Yanks want a forfeit, and the RATS don't want anybody to mention Kerry's history beyond March, 1969.

And if the Yankmees couldn't have gotten out of NYC for an away-game back after 9/11/2001 who here can't believe that they wouldn't have whined for an exception?
Evidenced: NO CLASS from a team management whose stadium doesn't even have a real name (cp. Candlestick, Ebbets, Fenway) and wants to steal a win any way they can...
