[ymike673]

I assume Summer Camp is over. Time for a new thread.

Damn straight!!!

[hardrain]

Regular season. Pfft.

[ymike673]

So even if the Yankees won all 60 regular season games they would still have to play in the best of three round?

Yup...no byes

ETA: But all 3 games would be home games.

That lineup looks right. Hopefully Tauch and Ford will see some time soon.

Andujar also.

A total of 14 Marlins players and coaches have now tested positive, and their game tonight is canceled.

They played the Phillies yesterday, and remain in Philadelphia for now. The Yankees are in Philly to play the Phillies tonight, so I doubt that's happening now.

This is a sh..t show. The Yankees will now be occupying the clubhouse the Marlins used all weekend.

That's actually not the issue as they could do the deep clean which doesn't take a lot of time. The problem is that you don't know if the Phillies are infected.

It'll be a miracle if this season is completed.

It'll be a miracle if this week's games are completed!

[ymike673]

Totally agree. I thought they might get into August but not even sure of that now.

[NelsonMuntz]

It'll be a miracle if this season is completed.

Agreed.

[mbn007]

I agree. In fact, I am beginning to wonder if this week will be completed.

No, all of it is the issue. Throw stadium employees into the mix, too.

Don't want to be semantics. The point is that hardware is minor. It could be easily addressed. The real problem is the people in the Phillies organisation which the Yankees may need to interact.

Joel Sherman at about 10AM NY time. AT this moment Yanks at Phils is not postponed. Discussion whether to cancel or not going forward. No final decision yet.

[Snatch Catch]

Yanks game is officially canceled now.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuudge.

I'm sitting here with a drink, watching Mets vs Red Sox, wondering if this is the end. This is not the way I wanted my 2020 fan experience to go.

Sipping a scotch rocks waiting on my wife to go upstairs so that I can flip on MLB.TV.

This is crazy. You can’t have a team take a week off in a 60-game season.

In fact, two teams, because I don’t see how the Phillies can play until they’re cleared, which will take a week.

I don't view this season as a legitimate baseball season. It's an exhibition season, I don't care what MLB calls it.
