NEW YORK -- Against the Toronto Blue Jays this season, the only thing that has stopped the Yankees was a day full of rain. The Yankees would have been trying to make it seven in a row against the Blue Jays on Sunday, but rain began to fall in the late morning with no signs of letting up, and the game was postponed before it started. No makeup date was announced. "Its going to rain until probably 9 o clock," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Its just not going to be playable." The two AL East rivals are not scheduled to meet again in the Bronx until August. Yankees starter CC Sabathia will pitch Monday in Baltimore, followed on Tuesday by Phil Hughes. This means rookie Vidal Nuno will be skipped and remain available out of the bullpen until the Yankees can find a way to work him back into the rotation. Toronto right-hander R.A. Dickey will face Tampa Bay on Monday. Dickey and the Blue Jays may have dodged some bad luck, with the rainout, which was announced more than half an hour before the scheduled start time of 1:08 p.m. He has had outings in the past where wet weather appeared to nullify the effectiveness of his hard, darting knuckleball and leave him without his most effective pitch. The Blue Jays had won four straight before dropping the first two of a three-game series in the Bronx. New York has won its last nine home games against Toronto, since last season, as well as the last six in a row overall against the Blue Jays. "Theres no question theyve had our number. Theyve out played us, too," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "This has always been a tough place to play." The Yankees have outplayed pretty much everyone lately. Theyve won nine of their last 12 and facing Dickey on a wet day, appeared in a good spot to make it 10 out of 13. "We werent necessarily looking for a rainout," Girardi said. Girardi said that Yankees officials met with umpire crew chief Joe West and consulted their metorologists about the forecast, which Girardi said showed rain falling in New York until after dark. That made the decision a fairly easy one. The delay pushed back Reid Brignacs debut with the Yankees, too. The infielder was acquired in a trade with the Rockies for cash after Colorado designated the infielder for assignment. He arrived Saturday night. He was set to play shortstop and bat eighth. "It was a little disappointing, I was really looking forward to getting the chance to play here today as a member of the Yankees," Brignac said. "Im tickled just to get the chance to be a Yankee." Notes: Torontos only win over the Yankees this season was an 8-4 win on April 21. . Dickey will face Tampa Bay RHP Jake Odorizzi, who is making his 2013 debut. RHP Ramon Ortiz will pitch Tuesday, followed by Mark Buehrle on Wednesday.

Charcandrick West Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. The UFC has reached out to disgruntled heavyweight Mark Hunt?following his public contempt toward the promotion and Brock Lesnar, his opponent earlier this month at UFC 200.During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Hunt accused the UFC of not doing enough to combat performance-enhancing drug use in mixed martial arts. He referred to Lesnar as a gimp and cheater, and urged fighters to form an association. Hunt also said the UFC had not reached out to him at all as of Monday morning, regarding his complaints.Hunt, 42, suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Lesnar at UFC 200. Less than one week later, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) flagged Lesnar for a potential anti-doping violation stemming from a prefight test taken on June 28. Shortly after that, the USADA revealed Lesnar failed a second test taken on fight night. Sources have informed ESPN.com that Lesnar tested positive for clomiphene, an anti-estrogen.On Monday, Hunt went so far as to suggest the UFC might have known about Lesnars test results but still allowed him to fight on July 9. The UFC did waive a mandatory four-month testing window for Lesnar prior to the fight, citing his unique contract situation with his primary employer, the WWE.What upsets me about that is, Im just thinking maybe they knew, Hunt told The MMA Hour. Did they know about this? Is that why theyre not doing anything about it? Did they give this f---ing fool an exemption for four months because they knew about this? Because surely if they know about this, they dont give a rats about any of us.Hey man, well let this juiced up freaking monkey go in here and fight with this guy. I mean, shucks, people say [I] should have a rematch with him. I wouldnt want to waste my time with that. Hes rubbish.A UFC official told ESPN.com that Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky had a lengthy conversation with Hunt on Monday and that dialogue was positive.According to the official, the conversation was to address Hunts concerns with Lesnars potential anti-doping violation, as well as the results management process related to the case.In response to Hunts conncerns regarding the time frame in which the UFC knew of Lesnars potential violation, the official adamantly denied any knowledge prior to July 9.ddddddddddddHunt did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Lesnar, 39, has commented publicly only once since the first potential violation was announced. He told the Associated Press on July 15, we will get to the bottom of this. His reported purse for UFC 200 was $2.5 million, although he likely made much more in undisclosed bonuses. He is facing a potential fine and suspension from the UFC and the Nevada State Athletic Commission.The UFCs anti-doping policy went into effect in July 2015. Per that policy, a first-time offender for a performance-enhancing drug faces a two-year suspension.Hunt (12-11) has now fought three opponents who were later flagged for doping violations. He fought Antonio Silva to a draw in 2013, after which it was revealed Silva tested positive for an elevated testosterone level on the night of the fight. In March, Hunt knocked out former champion Frank Mir, who also failed a fight night test. Mir revealed the substance he tested positive for was metabolites of an anabolic steroid.The best outcome is if the company that I work for says, youve been cheating, you lose all your [fight earnings] and since it was cheating, you get fined, Hunt said. You get sued and you get a fine. Youre going straight to court, criminal court, because what youve done is an offense. Thats what I want done. So that these guys who are cheating dont have more incentive to do it, because they do it for financial gain. If you take all that away, they get nothing.Make them banned for five or 10 years. There goes your career. Five, 10 years, you have no career left and not only that, you lose all of your money. Youre done as a fighter. Thatll stop you from doing it. Thats what I want to see done. I wont be part of a company who says we dont mind you cheating or doing this or that, otherwise then every monkey will be [cheating].
