I'm guessing, though, that every player doesn't play every day. Surely they don't! Do they???? lol<br /><br />I should just google it, but you know so much about baseball and I'm nursing a horrific head cold that is not letting me think very clearly.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123765093917478478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-31464941428446179462009-08-08T12:00:54.369-05:002009-08-08T12:00:54.369-05:00Hey there, Tammy!

The major-league-mandated (by the players' union, no doubt, and probably a good thing!) maximum is 20, which I referenced in my post of August 20th, 2008, titled "A little of this, a little of that" ... ... if you type in "A little of this, a little of that" in the Search rectangle at the top of my blog and scroll down to the 4th entry, you'll find where I talked about it (7th paragraph).<br /><br />Mondays and Thursdays - not all, but many! - are normally light (or 'travel') days in major league baseball, but you'll find more than just a few of these off days being penciled in now to make up for rainouts earlier in the season. <br /><br />Have I answered your question?Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-83803766410715247082009-08-07T13:03:19.217-05:002009-08-07T13:03:19.217-05:00I was looking at yesterday's Yankee game at th...I was looking at yesterday's Yankee game at the link you gave us. From there, I wanted to see what is coming up for them. I noticed they don't have a day off until the 20th! Is that normal all season long? Seems pretty strenuous for the teams. Maybe it's just because the end is getting closer? Fill me in, Goldenrod. ;)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123765093917478478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-6986885603331065552009-08-05T14:05:41.791-05:002009-08-05T14:05:41.791-05:00Perfect!

Those with fewer or less severe ones are doing better than the others. It's just that simple. If rosters were unlimited, well then pigs could fly, couldn't they?<br /><br />Tammy, click on the link in this post. That'll get you to a very familiar-looking page. Then, if you want to get to the "Standings" page, just click on that in the "MLB Home" line.Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-39034845298651964372009-08-05T08:42:58.214-05:002009-08-05T08:42:58.214-05:00Go Yanks! lol ;)

Somehow I lost it...<br /><br />I look forward to your wild card blog post. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123765093917478478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-77717978137317499862009-08-04T17:26:58.717-05:002009-08-04T17:26:58.717-05:00hi goldenrod, you have such a handle on what's...hi goldenrod, you have such a handle on what's going on i'm tempted to cancel my newspaper subscription! seriously. i read a honker of a piece on the stats connected to the jays with the rider being that they have suffered an inordinate number of injuries to key players. oh waaaah!! you need depth to be a contender right goldenrod?! no depth, no ticket to the playoffs. that's the real problem with the jays in my opinion. they field a team, just like the leafs (hockey, goldenrod . . . sorry(!), just like toronto f.c. (soccer, goldenrod . . . (sorry(!), just like the argos (canadian football league, goldenrod . . . sorry) so it's more about the sports culture of the city than anything. get stuff that sells tickets and then settle back and watch what falls out or down!!! there you have it. steven's big analysis of toronto sports teams! see you. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.com
