The manager is not so insightful.
Since Opening Day's a no-go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

"Chivas," at Estadio Chivas, in Jalisco, outside Guadalajara, Mexico. The return leg will be the following Tuesday night, at Red Bull Arena.
Hours until the New Jersey Devils next play a local rival: 25, tomorrow night, at the Prudential Center, against the New York Rangers. With the regular season coming to a close, this will be the last game against a geographic rival until next season, unless, as remains possible, they face the Philadelphia Flyers during the Playoffs.
Days until The Arsenal play again, 3, this Thursday at 2:45 PM our time, in the 1st leg of the Quarterfinal of the UEFA Europa League, against play Russian club CSKA Moscow, the club whose sports teams were once sponsored by the Soviet Red Army. Arsenal beat Stoke City 3-0 yesterday.

Days until the Red Bulls next play a "derby": 33, on Saturday afternoon, May 5, home to New York City FC. Their 1st game against the Philadelphia Union will be on Saturday night, May 26, at Red Bull Arena in Harrison. Their 1st game against the New England Revolution will be on Saturday night, June 2, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Their 1st game against D.C.

Days until the U.S. national soccer team plays again: 54, a "friendly" against Bolivia, at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania, home of the Philadelphia Union, on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. After the Bolivia game, there will be a trip to Europe, to play Ireland in Dublin on June 2, and France in Lyon on June 9. These 3 games should have been warmups for the World Cup. Alas...
Days until the next World Cup kicks off in Russia: 73, on June 14. A little over 10 weeks. But the U.S. team won't be playing. At least now, Donald Trump doesn't have to choose, and can root for his favorite country, the host nation, Russia.
Days until the 2018 trading deadline, after which we won't have to fear Yankee general manager Brian Cashman trading any proven good players for "prospects": 120, on Tuesday, July 31. A little under 4 months.
Days until the next North London Derby (after this one): Unknown, but not until next season. The Premier League season opener will be on Saturday, August 11, but you never see a derby on the opening weekend. So, more than 131 days.
Days until September 2018 roster call-ups, when we can finally start to expect seeing most of these wonderful "prospects" that Yankee general manager Brian Cashman wanted: 152. Just 5 months.
Days until Rutgers University plays football again: 152, on Saturday, September 1, home to Texas State University.
Days until East Brunswick High School plays football again: Unknown. The 2018 schedule hasn't been released yet. But the season opener is usually on the 1st Friday in September. that would be September 7, which is 163 days from now.
Days until the next Congressional election, when we can elect a Democratic Congress that can impeach and remove Donald Trump from the Presidency: 218, on November 6. A little over 7 months.
Days until the next Rutgers-Penn State game: 229, on Saturday, November 17, at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Days until the next East Brunswick-Old Bridge Thanksgiving high school football game: 234, on Thursday, November 22. A little over 8 months.
Days until a Democratic Congress can convene, and the impeachment process can begin: 277, on Thursday, January 3, 2019. Just 10 months.
Days until the Baseball Hall of Fame vote is announced, electing Mariano Rivera: 297, on January 23, 2019. A little over 10 months.
Days until the next Women's World Cup kicks off: 432, on June 7, 2019, in France. A little over a year, or a little over 14 months. The U.S. team, as 3-time and defending Champions, has, as usual, a better chance than the men's team would have had in 2018 anyway.
Days until my 50th Birthday, at which point I can join AARP and get discounts for travel and game tickets: 627, on December 18, 2019. Under 2 years, or a little over 20 months.
Days until the Baseball Hall of Fame vote is announced, electing Derek Jeter: 662, on January 22, 2020. A little under 2 years, or a little under 22 months.

Days until the next Presidential election, when we can dump the Trump-Pence regime and elect a real Administration: 949, on November 3, 2020. A little over 2 1/2 years, or just 31 months.
Days until Liberation Day: 1,027, at noon on January 20, 2021. Under 3 years, or a little under 34 months. Note that this is liberation from the Republican Party, not just from Donald Trump. Having Mike Pence as President wouldn't be better, just differently bad, mixing theocracy with plutocracy, rather than mixing kleptocracy with plutocracy.
Days until the next Winter Olympics (after the current one in Pyeongchang, Korea) begins in Beijing, China: 1,404, on February 4, 2022. Under 4 years, or a little over 46 months.
Days until the next World Cup for which the American team will be eligible is scheduled to kick off: 1,699, on November 21, 2022, in Qatar. Under 5 years, or under 56 months. The charges of corruption against Qatar may yet mean that they will lose the tournament, in which case it will be moved to a nation where it would not be too hot to play it in June and July.
