Divine intervention?

September 24, 2014

(Because you can put all your Jeter memorabilia on a bookshelf.)

Tomorrow is Derek Jeter’s final home game.

Tomorrow is the first day of Rosh Hashana.

Tomorrow, the weather forecast calls for rain.

God is not a Yankees fan.

Note: 100% chance of rain…

So this begs the question: What will happen? Will the Yankees reschedule? How can they? It’s not not like they have an off day before traveling to Boston for their final series of the year.

Since the game no post-season implications, it is not necessary to play the game for any other reason than it would be Jeter’s last one at home.

Will MLB step in and force Baltimore — who clinched the AL East last week — to return to New York? If you were the Orioles, would you want to take a chance of one of your front-liners getting hurt? If they were forced to play, would they stock the line-up with scrubs (no offense, guys), thereby besmirching the integrity of giving it their best shot?

From CBSlocal.com:

“I’m told the weather forecast for Thursday isn’t all that bad, and the rain should be out of here. But I am worried about it, and I’ll continue to worry about it,” Commissioner Bud Selig said at Yankee Stadium before Tuesday night’s game.

Isn’t all that bad??? I repeat, 100% chance of rain…

It may sound nasty and with all due respect to those who love Jeter and want him to have this grand send-off (how are there still more than 1,500 seats still unsold?), but I’m hoping the game will be rained out, just to see what happens.
