Time Of Last Dance TBD?

Tomorrow is Opening Day for the Yankees. Currently, on the Yankees schedule, September 21st - the last regular season game scheduled for Yankee Stadium - is listed as "TBD" for the time of the game.

As I have said before, if ESPN turns this game into a 8:05 PM start, that will be a crime. Imagine if the last out of such a game is at 11:00 PM? What cermonies are you going to start then? How long could they last? It's crazy. So, what are you going to do, have the ceremonies before the game? That could be a huge distraction to a game that could be important to the standings. The whole thing is starting to smell.

I'm willing to bet it'll be a 3 or 4 pm game. Just my guess.

As long as ESPN and MLB have any say, they'll make sure to screw the Yanks and YES out of the pleasure of broadcasting the game on their home network at the time they want to.

It's all part of why I say that the Yanks' true enemy isn't in Boston but on Park Avenue.
