    The Yankees open up the season tomorrow (Monday) & have the 1st off day......wait for it................TUESDAY! Seriously? These trained well conditioned athletes need a day off after ONE! f'king game. What genius decided to do this year after year. You wait 6 months to play baseball & after one game you need a rest. Just DUMB! no other word for it.

    Sorry, I just needed to vent after I saw the schedule.

    I know Ron, I just absolutely don't see any reason for it. And the Mets are even worse, I just saw there schedule, they open up today & are off tomorrow, than play again on Tuesday & are off Wednesday & Thursday. I mean DAMN! 5 days into the new season & you need 3 days off. Just ridiculous. These teams would benefit a lot more if these off days were used later in the season when the players will actually NEED a day off.

    ...it has to do with scheduling...personally, I don't have a problem with it.

    ...and Rick, don't worry, after the Yanx win tomorrow they will remain in first place and breeze to another title, you'll forget all about this.

    Teams do it to leave a day in case opening day gets rained out.

    I get all that though to the Mets extent its even more ridiculous (3 off days in the first 5 days of the season) I'm just a strong believer that off days would be better utilized late in the season when tired players could really use an extra day or two off. JMO.

    Don't throw logic into this, Rick is on a rant.

    Check the teams that aren't doing it. Pretty much dome teams or California clubs where the weather really isn't an issue.

    ^^^The teams that aren't doing it are, Rays, Blue Jays, White Sox, A's, Mariners, Rangers, Marlins, Brewers, & every team in the NL west (5 teams). Now I don't know how many of these teams have domes but several are on the west coast. So perhaps there is a minimal amount of logic here.

    You've got a one track mind, but that doesn't make you a bad person. BTW: You're missed a few T's.
