Disturbing omen alert: Forget the black cat on Hal's doorstep. The first Yankee game has been rained out without a drop landing

Yankee opening day - already kicked back a week due to the lockout - has been delayed due to radar readings. 

Final score:

Weather Channel: 1
YES Channel: 0
Cashman scalp print: 666

  1. Maybe it's a miracle day that gives the Yankees an extra 24 hours to make Judge deal happen!

    Not that I'm advocating for a Judge deal. He lost me at the vaccine issue and the "I'm just trying to feed my family" quote.

  2. Did he really say that??? But he doesn't have a family! At least, not his own wife, kids, etc.

  3. And Judge never has o pay for a meal. He is beginning to sound like a guy who stood be on the Rangers.

    I just want to second the idea that it is a black omen for the season when your opening day is rained out before anyone even gets on the subway.

  4. Hoss,

    Yes. But now I can't find it anywhere on line. But I remember it because it pissed me off.

  5. You can't find anything about the 70s Yankees and cocaine rumors, either. Cash must've hired a digital scrubber to get rid of such annoying memories.

    But I remember. Bucky Dent, hero of the one-game playoff, was said to be one of the biggest snorters on the team.

    Ah, the 70s.

  6. Doug, K.,
    According to the Y Post on 3/21/22, Judge stated that he would like to stay a Yankee for life, but, "I have to feed my family too."

    According to Baseball -Reference, he has already made $20,526,100.00 and will receive at least $17,000,000.00 more this season through arbitration.

    That is without the millions in endorsement he has gotten from being a Yankee. [How many Brewers are in national commercials?]

    That is one big fucking family he must have.

    Offer him 30Mill per year for 6 years. Give him until Friday to take. If he doesn't, trade him to a team in the middle of nowhere, like Texas, Milw., KC, or St.L. Good baseball towns, but not NY,
    Plus, he can "feed his family" a lot cheaper in say, Marlins territory.

    Just saying.

  7. Incredible, how clueless many of these athletes are.

    He can't just say something like, "I'd like to stay in New York, but I leave my agent to handle all the financial stuff"?

    Ballplayers still want to all believe they are blue collar guys, hauling their lunchboxes off to work.

  8. Perhaps he was being a bit sarcastic, seems to me that he has a wry sense of humor.

    I think the smartest thing to do is to trade Judge before he has his next big injury. Get a few lefty bats, legit prospects, up the middle positions or even 3B. But we all know that it won't happen. Either Brain Cashman will re-sign him for a zillion dollars a year or he will walk away, probably to California, and we'll get ... nothing.

    The rain out is a bird of ill omen. But then, this whole off season was an ill omen, with the lockout and all.
