I’m thinking more like half the season has already been lost. 81 game season would probably make scheduling easier as well.

Mid May? I’m thinking June 1st will be an optimistic start to the season, wiping 6o games off the schedule. Realistically they have to redo the whole schedule. What a mess.

[24] Not enough National Guard to go around, for one…

I am surprised they canceled March Madness, I guess after the Utah Jazz players caught it, even empty arenas aren’t safe enough. CWS also canceled along with everything else.

It’s not particularly deadly for young people but it is for elderly with underlying health issues. My dad is 86 with a bad heart and just got over bronchitis, narrowly missing hospitalization, mom is 84 with diabetes. They are the ones in danger.

If it’s as serious as they say, why isn’t everyone being put on house arrest, so to speak?

The rest of spring training canceled, the start of the season postponed two weeks. NBA season suspended, NCAA tournament canceled, NHL suspended. Sad, but absolutely necessary.

[18] Heh-heh, you haven’t been around my personal blog in a while, have you?

My main problem is finding GOOD barbecue. In Westchester, it’s a real stretch. Then if you do manage to find something halfway-decent, the service is lacking. For now, I will either do without or make my own; we used to have a propane grill at one place I lived, but had to give it up when we moved to where we presently live. We manage to get in some real grilling on our summer trips upstate, but that’s all cookout, not authentic barbecue. They also have rib festivals near here every year, but it’s pricey and you don’t get much bang for your buck.

A couple of my favorite spots in the Greater NYC area are John Brown’s Smokehouse in LIC Queens (awesome brisket) and Hometown BBQ in Red Hook Brooklyn.

Orioles have some boring broadcasters for their ST games.

[16] Of course, I hate everything about BBQ! Chyll Will – you, buddy?

Hi Team/Friends!

Been way too long. Miss you all, and our pinstriped heroes. I’ll tell ya what – it seems as though I’m a little guy, who’s accident prone and exceedingly fragile, yet I play the most physically demanding instrument in the world and I show up to work everyday. I play more hours than these fit athletes who are paid STOOPID money. I never complain or take a day off. I also barely make any money and always have to worry about things like health insurance. The injuries, and how they’re handled in Pinstripe Land, are ridiculous.

That said, I’m still super psyched about the upcoming season. I bought 2 packs of Topps cards yesterday and got 3 Yankees! Judge, Masa/Tank, LeMachine. I hope all the Banterites are reading every single Views From 314 Ft. post and subscribing to Mike Axisa’s Patreon. CC’s R2C2 is so much fun, and EVERYTHING Jomboy is pretty much essential. I even joined Twitter just to follow baseball news. It really keeps me up to date.

Every time I think I’m out, I’m sucked in more. I hope you’re all well and I’m looking forward to chasing #28. Let’s freak out together about 8 months from now!!!

If they do have to take out Judge’s rib, he’s done for the season.

[12] They really just need an order of ribs...

You know that line players often say when they win it all, about it being a team effort from management on down? That couldn’t be more accurate. Maybe this team should have invested 300 mill on an elite medical / training staff and not on Cole?

[9] Removing a rib?! That sound biblical. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Team seems cursed. We need some voodoo.

Between Sevy and Judge, I think the entire organization took the concept of off-season a little too literally this year. WTF

I at least hope Judge and Stanton are healthy enough to come off the bench for the Astros brawl.

There’s a rather moving piece in the Athletic (subscription required) about a remarkable young woman named Kelly Rodman who scouted for the Yankees; she passed away today and reading about her left me a little choked-up, yet motivated and appreciative of the Yanks in yet another way. Much props to Lindsey Adler for this piece…

Stress fracture in the ribs for Judge, fer crying out loud. Surgery not ruled out.
(reminds self to remain calm and not kick the dog.)
