nice job on that find Solat. I gotta admit, the salary things getting absurd...220 mil..jesus

I support the dollar menu at BK's up the block from the stadium
ANd I don't drink beer so I'm good to go on that. 14 dollar bleacher seats and my yankee game experiences ususally won't exceed 30 bucks. Its a beautiful thing

there you go and don't forget about the vendor selling the water for a 1.50 on East 161 Street either.

great....the end is near :(

just wondering


hows the ratings gonna be for this yrs playoffs without the Yankees in it for the 1st time in 13 yrs?

and not making the playoffs with a new stadium next yr, how does that affect prices towrds next yr knowing that playoff revenue is HUGE in this day and age?

I think they'll do okay. They'll push the Cubs and make them the prime time games. There could be a perfect storm of indifference though, if it's Tampa, Chicago, Minnesota and LA out of the AL this year.

if the cubbies stay in it, it could do ok with the ratings, otherwise no one's really gonna tune in except the diehards...the rest of the nations already hyped for football

Aceves is officially taking Rasner's spot in the rotation. I think he will pitch Tuesday.

I don't know why Ponson is getting another start. Hughes is supposed to pitch today for Scranton. But that game is being rained out. And we have to worry about the Jays passing us.

Crap the Blue Jays just won again. I hope they're not going on a Colorado like run like last year. Now we're tied. Come on Yankees.

It could happen. The Blue Jays still have seven games against the Red Sox, but it would take a miracle for them to win all those games.

I had to get up early today but I was staying up to see if Morrow would get that no-hitter. He went 7 2/3. I was actually rooting for him to get it! :eek: I know that's bad but it was more exciting than the Yankees offense.

And of course we mounted a little mini-rally but it was too little, too late :(

I think last night's loss really did it. I don't see how they could possibly have a shot. Where are the mathematically inclined people? What is that 'tragic' elimination # now? :(

By the way did yous all see that Joba impostor? He actually got ladies to fall for it! :rolleyes: Obviously they were not Yankees fans!

It's tricky now that they search your bags so you can't sneak in water bottles or anything else. But I mean if you go to a game in the summer, you can't go 9 innings w/o drinking something! They've got you. What can you do.
Plus I've already gone on about my love of the hot dogs

last year when I went I was afraid to bring in the bottle of soda I was drinking. So I downed it all before I got in. But as I was sitting at my seat. I saw a lady with a large clear bag of food.

If I drank all that soda, I wouldn't be able to sit through the game, LOL.

At Giants games, they'll let you bring in a water bottle, but no cap. they'll make you take it off and discard it. So we always go to the gate with a full, big, water bottle, with the cap nestled safely in an undisclosed location.

OK, it's in my pocket

gotta love Girardi givong Ponson the quick hook after just 65 pitches. get it to the pen
