So many times, desperate teams start asking officials to rules against their opponents on weak technicalities hoping to sneak a win.

Commish to teams: Play on
NEW YORK (AP) The New York Yankees asked the commissioner's office to award them a forfeit over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after they failed to arrive in time Monday because of travel problems due to Hurricane Frances. It was a request that had no chance of being granted.

Being a die-hard Yankee fan, I was disgusted at the way they tried to do this. I know that's what the rules state, but you don't have a hurricane coming through every day -- well I guess Florida seems to. I would have been with my family and to hell with the game!
