Evil Empire asks for forfeit...

[Donn]

Seems the Yankees have asked the commish to grant them a forfeit because Tampa Bay couldn't get to NY for today's games. Unbelievable!

I guess that is why they have rule books.

"``We appreciate the continuing accommodation of the New York Yankees and their fans and apologize to them for any inconvenience that the delays may have caused,'' Bob DuPuy, chief operating officer of the commissioner's office, said in a statement Tuesday. ``As the commissioner made clear, it is critical that the outcome of the pennant races be determined on the field.'' "

I knew there was a reason I don't like the Yankees, besides the fact that they seem to beat the Braves in the World Series. :(

I heard something about that. Didn't they reschedule?
