The schedule doesn’t allow for the game between Yankees and Baltimore Orioles won’t be made up, so maybe there’ll be another of those late-night hurrahs in New York, like the one Jimmy Connors had at the U.S. Open so many years ago. The schedule doesn’t allow for the game between Yankees and Baltimore Orioles to be made up unless it’s necessary for the Orioles’ playoff seeding, so they’re likely to do everything they can to get this in. Who knows? Maybe there’ll even be another of those late-night hurrahs in New York, like the wonderful one Jimmy Connors had at the U.S. Open so many years ago.
Like the weather, it also is uncertain just how much more Jeter will play in the Yankees’ final series of the season against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park. Manager Joe Girardi says he’ll leave the decision up to Jeter — and he isn’t saying. Mariano Rivera’s final series last year took place in Houston and he did not play, but Jeter was in no mood to talk about it after the Yankees’ loss meant the postseason was officially out of the picture.Like the weather, it also is uncertain just how much more Jeter will play in the Yankees’ final series of the season against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park.

“We just lost, man,” Jeter said. “Respect the fact that we just lost, we are not going to the playoffs. I can’t think about Boston right now. Right now I am disappointed, I can’t tell you about Boston because I am not thinking about Boston.”“We just lost, man,” Jeter said. “Respect the fact that we just lost, we are not going to the playoffs.

Why do the Yankees care about the resale market?
