Can someone please tell me why in the blue hell is Matsui fucking hitting cleanup? He was not a cleanup hitter when he was good. He kills every rally.

because he was supposed to be decent as a DH only this year, then i drafted him in fantasy and it all went to hell.

5-1, can we just end the season now?

Some people might say the season is already over.

[TheGameHHH]

Something is clearly wrong with The Wangers mechanics. This needs to be fixed by the staff quickly.

[TheGameHHH]

B.J. Upton just made a sick ass Willie Mays-esque catch. That was unreal

When I thought Phil Hughes was gonna be called up, I didn't dream it would be for CMW.

ok, horrific.

Obviously something is wrong, as CMW had a bad spring training too. If he's injured or something, then Hughes would come up.

I thought Pettite or Burnett going down would be the key to Hughes' call-up, not CMW.

And wow, Ransom is a bag of suck in the field.

Perhaps you should consider making Swishy your fifth starter.

dont hate.....he posted the staff best 0.00 ERA tonight

[FezsAssistant]

I'm so tired of seeing Matsui ground out to second.
I didn't even see tonight's game, but I'm sure he did at least 3 times.

I think that Igawa and Wang traded places and no one could tell.

[TheGameHHH]

great quote tonight from everyones favorite beat writer, "See, Cody Ransom can replace Alex after all. He just drove in a run in a 12-2 game."

its funny cause its true

You're gonna be an alcoholic by the all-start break!....

That's the only way I'm gonna be able to get through another season of Sterling's cheesy self-appointed catch-phrases.

Fucking Swisher is now "Jolly Old St. Nick" ... you'd think some things would be sacred.

Damn Sterling to Hell.

Yeah. They really need to work the chinks out of his delivery.

Apparently his stance is a bit slanted.

[brettmojo]

He's afraid to challenge the hitters. You can't be successful pitching like a yellow bastard.

[Kevin]

I would like to point out that AJ Burnett is filthy....

[Tenbatsuzen]

He's afraid to challenge the hitters. You can't be successful pitching like a yellow bastard.

The problem with fixing his mechanics is that he goes back to the same issues a half hour later.

[brettmojo]

The problem with fixing his mechanics is that he goes back to the same issues a half hour later.
That's why his effectiveness is on this downward slope.

Xavier Nady was injured. Looks like it might be serious. Tommy John surgery serious. (http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/04/14/breaking-news-nady-injured/)

[Tenbatsuzen]

Xavier Nady was injured. Looks like it might be serious. Tommy John surgery serious. (http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/04/14/breaking-news-nady-injured/)

Yeah, but isn't Tommy John a lot less serious for a position player than it is for a pitcher?

I think a few QBs got Tommy John surgery, and the rehab time was the equivalent of a knee injury.

This is... not good... especially with Matsui stinking up the joint right now. We might get a look at Mr. Jackson sooner than later.

That sucks, but hopefully it's just scar tissue like Nady said in the article. On the up side, it looks like there will be no trouble finding at bats for Swisher now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a side note...a friend is trying to sell his seats for this Friday's game against the Indians. It's a 1:05pm start. The seats are Section 211 (main level, 1st base line, mid way between 1st base & foul pole), Row 13, Seats 13-16, face value $60 ($240 total). If anyone is interested, let me know.

Abraham is correct when he said he needs to be playing everyday right now in his development, promoting him to a bench player doesn't make much sense. it would really only hinder his progress. and this comes from a guy who can't wait to see AJ in pinstripes.

Yes! He's soooo going by Big A from now on

I was hoping for Nick "the stick"...

Oh!

With Nady possibly out for the season, maybe Sterling can say "Tommy John baby gone," every time Nick hits one out.

I'll keep working on this.

I could literally rattle off a ton of people who could sing an anthem to open up the new stadium who have ties to the Yankees or the area.

Kelly Clarkson, as successful as she is, is a pop icon from Texas. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH NEW YORK!?

Do you know what would have been perfect? Bernie doing the Anthem on guitar with a vocalist.

[Tenbatsuzen]

They should tap Bernie to strum it on his guitar.

I was slow in my response. I was too busy on Wikipedia looking up singers from the Tri-state.

Did a good job.

Not a good look for her though.

[badorties]

It was one of those moments that'll be part of sports forever. I'm happy to be able to say I was there to witness it.

great moment, i even recorded some of it on my digital camera

was at the game today (200 level): easy to get in (the main gate had insanely long lines, but the other gates were quicker) and to the seats

the concessions face the stadium, and everything is pretty open the walk from first to third base side has great views ... the lines at the consessions seemed a little longer than it needed to be, but all the food was fresh and the guinness was tasty

the stadium is amazing and all the improvements, bells and whistles are really impressive -- although, there's a coldness (almost factory-like) in some of the in some of the design

i was afraid that it was going to be a real letdown watching a game there, but they really did an amazing job ... after 30 years of looking at the same places for info, it did take me a few extra moments to find the count or the time

great day, even with the loss

[JerseyRich]

Excellent review.

Can't wait to see it for myself in person on June 8th!

[cougarjake13]

If Joba keeps this shit up, we may finally see the Bridge to Mariano.

then you need to understand baseball better. youve been blessed to watch the greatest closer of all time. i hate to be the one that has to break it to you but the guy that takes over for Mo when Mo is finished, he's not going to be as good.

I never understood why people thought Joba would isntantly be a great starter. He was SOOOOOOO dominant as a reliever, I would have never taken him out of the bullpen.

[drjoek]

On my way home from the game. New stadium is gorgeous. Retains old character inside the field but all the ammenities of a brand new place. Watching the game you'd forget untill you look up and around.
Site lines are great even at peripheries. Concession crowded and blocked even expansive halls. Employees abundant helping out but that may be first week. Tons of food choices but I only had hot dog but will try more.
Sound system PA not great from my spot big TV board is jaw dropping seriously
The one elephant in the room: Stadium is packed to rafter BUT the good seats inside the bases was EMPTY not just light 2 sections had NOONE in them
No Freddy

5 Inning games.

Hell, why not just make it Bruney/Joba/Sabathia/Burnett/Wang/Pettitte in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th and then it's only a 1 inning game!

its a little too much, i dont like it. that, the fact that nobody sits in those crazy expensive seats up front and the fact that theres been next to no crowd noise are the three things that easily bother me the most about the new place.

whats wrong with wang ??

[cougarjake13]

wheres the obstructed view seats at ?? and why would they purposely do that ??

[TheGameHHH]

whats wrong with wang ??

as theyve been saying for the past couple weeks, his body is too far in front of his arm in his delivery which causes his ball to stay up. when his sinker doesnt sink low, he gets mashed.

i believe they are the bleachers directly to the right of that giant tv screen and restaurant in center. i could be wrong though

im just curious as to why the most successful baseball and possibly even sports franchise would purposely allow it to happen

[led37zep]

From STub Hub

# Obstructed View Seats are defined by the Yankees as: Rows A-B in all Main Boxes (201-350) and Tier Reserved (1-36). The obstructed view is due to fans walking in the aisles.
# Other Obstructed View seats include Field Box 110, 112 and 114; Main Box 313, 315, 317, 319, 330, 332; Main Reserved 29 and 32; Loge Box 521, 523, 530, 532; Tier Box 657, 659, 660, and 662; Tier Reserved 29 and 32. Bleachers section 55 are obstructed view due to the foul pole.

i have no answer. i curious as to why several things happened with the new stadium, most of which i listed in here. im curious as to why its suddenly a launching pad, why theres no crowd noise, why groups of people cant see and why it costs close to 3 grand to sit so close and why those 3 grand people are cement blocked off from the rest of the crowd. as nice as the new stadium is visually, im starting to not like it. but, im sure ill get used to it

I've gotta assume a DL stint is comming for Wanger soon. The reason they didnt do it up until today was because Girardi, Wang and Eiland all swore up and down he was perfectly healthy. now they have to say something is wrong and stick him on the DL.

[HBox]

Because he's healthy. Or they say he is anyway. It's not tired arm, he didn't pitch the last half of last year at all. Although after this I think they might find an excuse to throw him on the DL just so they can let him work things out.

1. Probably just different wind currents.
2. Rows are less steep and so every consecutive row is farther away. Good for comfort but bad for crowd noise.
3. Because obstructed view seating is apparently the hip thing to add to your new stadium. Between Camden Yards and now they've run out of every good thing to ass from the old stadiums so now they are adding the shitty things.
4. Because people are willing to pay that much. Or they thought they were. I saw plenty of empty seats up close today.
5. BECAUSE THEY ARE FANCY PEOPLE.

1) Agreed, but that should have been taken into consideration during planning right? Do you want a stadium that drastically different than the old one? I like the way the ball played in the old park better.
2) Another shitty construction flaw in my opinion
3) thats just gay.
4) Theres wayyyy too many open seats up close and thats just a crappy thing to do to your hardcore fans, price them out.
5) Those people dont even belong at a ballgame.

[HBox]

I disagree on the rows thing. I like feeling like I'm not hiking down or up a canyon to get to my seats and any extra room would be greatly appreciated. If I want to feel like I've been jammed into a tuna can I'll go see a Devils game at the Prudential Center.

in my opinion youre trading comfort for crowd noise & ball park experience. if i wanted to see a game and be super comfortable ill throw on a pair of linen pants and go lay on my couch.

My biggest issue with the stadium, which Big A brought up, was Monument Park/Cave.

When it was originally conceived, the batter's eye section of the sports bar didn't stick that far out, so Monument Park was exposed and visible from the stands.

But now the Batter's Eye section expands out over Monument Park.

Hopefully, that's something that will be corrected.

they finally realized they over priced tickets.

Yankees cut some premium ticket prices

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
4:05 PM EDT, April 28, 2009

The Yankees are cutting some premium ticket prices and giving free seats to other ticket holders in response to empty seats during the first homestand at their fancy new ballpark.

The Yankees on Tuesday slashed the price of some first-row Legends Suite season seats from $2,500 to $1,250, and others from $1,000 to $650.

Those who bought $2,500 first-row season tickets that weren't reduced will receive an equal number of free first-row tickets for the rest of the season. Those who bought $1,250 first-row seats will receive free seats for 24 games.

[drjoek]

they finally realized they over priced tickets.

Makes sense if somethings not working fix it. You still have to get people to show up and sit in those seats even if they're sold. That's the rub. The corporate seats even sold won't be full all the time.

[JPMNICK]

i would post a link, but this is all i can find for now. all the ticket info

This from Hal Steinbrenner via the Yankees:

“A few weeks ago I indicated that in light of the economy we would review the pricing of a small number of our premium locations at Yankee Stadium; specifically, our Suite Seats. I mentioned a small number of locations because in excess of 3.4 million seats, including 37,000 full season equivalents as well as approximately 85% of all our premium locations have already been sold. Yet, there are a few hundred Suite Seats in our premium locations that have not been sold on a full season basis. As a result, and for many of our fans who have already purchased full season Suite Seats in such premium locations, the Yankees are announcing today a program that adjusts certain prices and benefits affecting such Suite Seats.”

For the 2009 regular season only, the following price adjustments and benefits are being adopted effective immediately for a few hundred Legends Suite and Delta Sky 360 Suite Licensees.

A. The full season Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses in the first row in Sections 15A, 15B, 24B and 25 will be reduced from $2,500 to $1,250 per regular season game. All fans who have purchased such full season Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive, at their choice, a refund or a credit.

B. The full season Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses in the first row in Sections 11, 12, 13, 27B, 28 and 29 will be reduced from $1,000 to $650 per regular season game. All fans who have purchased such full season Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive, at their choice, a refund or a credit.

C. All fans who purchased full season $2,500 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses in the first row, in Sections 16 – 24A, will receive an equal number of complimentary Legends Suite Seats in the first row in Sections 16 – 24A for each of the remaining regular season games during the 2009 regular season.

D. All fans who purchased full season $1,250 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive an equal number of complimentary Legends Suite Seats in the $1,250 Legends Suite price category for 24 games during the 2009 regular season, as selected by the Yankees.

E. All fans who purchased full season $850 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive an equal number of complimentary Legends Suite Seats in the $850 Legends Suite price category for 8 games and in the $500 Legends Suite price category for 4 games during the 2009 regular season, as selected by the Yankees.

F. All fans who purchased full season $600 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive an equal number of complimentary Legends Suite Seats in the $500 Legends Suite price category for 10 games during the 2009 regular season, as selected by the Yankees.

G. All fans who purchased full season $500 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive an equal number of complimentary Legends Suite Seats in the $500 Legends Suite price category for 8 games during the 2009 regular season, as selected by the Yankees.

H. Future 2009 regular season sales of full season $1,250, $850, $600 and $500 Legends Suite and Ticket Licenses, will receive comparable (dependent upon the price of the Legends Suite and Ticket License) benefits during the 2009 regular season, subject to availability.

I. The Delta SKY 360 Suite and Ticket Licenses in the first row in Sections 218A – 222 will be reduced from $750 to $550 for each regular season game. All fans who have purchased such full season Suite and Ticket Licenses will receive, at their choice, a refund or a credit.

In addition, for 2009, so as to encourage fans to purchase full season ticket plans in the Field Level Sections 115 – 125, the Yankees are also adopting a program affecting a few hundred seats. And, for our fans who have already purchased, on a full season basis such Field Level seating priced at $325 Sections 115 – 125, the following program is being adopted effective immediately:

A. Going forward all fans when purchasing, on a full season basis, three (3) full regular season ticket plans priced at $325 per regular season game in Sections 115 – 125 will receive a fourth full regular season ticket at no additional cost.

B. All fans who have purchased full season plans priced at $325 per regular season game will receive complimentary regular season tickets within Sections 115 – 125 for remaining regular season games during the 2009 regular season as follows:

1. If you purchased two (2) or three (3) full season tickets you will receive two (2) tickets for every other regular season game, commencing with either the Thursday evening game on April 30, 2009 or the Friday evening game on May 1, 2009 and alternating for the remainder of the season.
2. If you purchased four (4) or five (5) full season tickets you will receive two (2) tickets for every regular season game during the balance of the 2009 regular season, commencing with the Thursday evening game on April 30, 2009.

3. If you purchased six (6) or seven (7) full season tickets you will receive three (3) tickets for every regular season game during the balance of the 2009 regular season, commencing with the Thursday evening game on April 30, 2009.

4. If you purchased eight (8) full season tickets you will receive four (4) tickets for every regular season game during the balance of the 2009 regular season, commencing with the Thursday evening game on April 30, 2009.

who was he talking about ...? joba, hughes ...?
not to belabor the point, what did they do to joba ...? was it the switching him between a starter and set-up ...?

Basically he's talking about the switch back to starter. They took a guy who was fairly dominant as a 1-inning (or so) guy & made him into a starter based on the belief he was going to be one of those special, dominant starters. So far he has looked pretty ordinary, therefore Mike thinks they have cut his balls off since now no one fears him.

And considering:

(1) Hughes pitched well enough in the spring to make the rotation under normal circumstances and...
(2) The hierarchy still wants to limit Joba's innings total for the year which, if he was "special" as they predicted & was in line to make 35 starts, their innings limit would have meant shutting him down or moving him to the pen before the end of the year anyway...

...I can't say I disagree.

[HBox]

Not this shit again. Joba has been a starting pitcher his entire career until the last two years. Him starting is not a transition. Him relieving was the transition. And anyone expecting him to be a consistently dominant starter after 15 fucking starts is ridiculously retarded.

BTW, here are his numbers in his 15 career MLB starts: 81 IP, 79 H, 35 BB, 85 Ks, 2.99 ERA. That's not ordinary. That's good by any measure, exceptional for a pitcher's first 15 MLB starts.

I can't believe I have to point out that Mike Francessa is a reactionary idiot but I guess I have to. I don't know where this "stole his spirit" idea came from but I have a feeling it's from the same places Mike pushes out his shit. The innings limit argument is nonsense. It's what they do with all their starting pitchers. And you can't say just replace him with Hughes in the rotation because thanks to Hughes' injuries last year he too has an innings limit. Besides the coaching staff isn't stupid. They know Joba's limit and they are planning to skip him in the rotation when possible so they don't have to shut him down.

I'm sure this shit won't stop until Joba pitches 20 perfect games in a row. But then once he gives up a run in that 21st start we'll be back to this 'BLAH BLAH BLAH BULLPEN BLAH BLAH BLAH" shit yet again.

[Crippler]

Wasn't looking to open up that beaten-to-death debate again, just answering a question for a fellow board member who's question was skipped by some people.

Joba is a starter, that's always been the plan. It just seemed like thing were set up this year where it would have made sense to give him more time to learn the league & ease him into the rotation if/when needed to keep his innings down. They decided not to do that & now he's a starter from April, no more discussion necessary.

[TheGameHHH]

Joba sucks as a starter......totally needs to only pitch the 8th. if tonight wasnt proof enough that he belongs back in the pen, i dont know if it will ever happen.

Tex has the bat, swisher has the personality i feel a-rod does not have, and i understand it is him but i feel we have what we need and then there is a-rod. I can actually enjoy a game with a young prospect from the system, the yanks forgot what got em to the show, the fucking farm system... i am frustrated but in the same breath i will die with them, i don't care about that, i just feel that a-rod is doing more harm then good, from his personal life to the injuries and epic fails in the post season.

You may not like him but you can't subtract one of the best hitters in the game and not suffer on the field. Don't let your hate of him make you think that Ramiro Pena, Angel Berroa or Cody Ransom make this a better tram because that is ridiculous.

I think there is something to be said about the circus that Arod has now off the field that'll hang like a weight around this team's neck once he returns. You can't replace his numbers no... But right now they actually look like a cohesive team that plays well together. Something they haven't had for a long long time. They're not an all star team. They're a team that looks a lot like the team from the late 90's. How is that gonna' be impacted once bitch tits returns?

"So Joe... The team has really hit it's stride these pass few weeks, how do you feel that'll be impacted by Alex's return?"

"Derek... Congrats on that game winning hit tonight, so how do you feel about Alex possibly taking steroids in high school?"

"CC... Nice shut out tonight, what are your impressions of Alex so far as a team mate?"

When does bitch tits hit T.O. territory?

[drjoek]

On the way home from the game. Almost met my first .netter as ralphbxny and I spoke and will hopefully meet at next home Friday mrsdrjoeks first game at the new Stadium was an exciting one. Some how one of my dental assistants had better seats than me

Oh and I saw the imposter drjoek sitting behind homeplate on the big screen during a replay!!.

Fuck Fox their coverage is garbage anyway. It's only a matter of time before they come up with some stupid as shit new camera angle to push some sort of cartoony animated animal character as the new greatest thing to ever happen to baseball. I hope Tim McCarver gets H1N1 and spews chunks all over Joe Buck's cock loving face.

However it is nice to actually feel, like yesterday and today, that even if they don't come back and win a game like today's it's possible for them to do it and they don't just pack it in like they have the past couple years... I guess more so last year than ever before.

I know it's midnight on a Monday after a rain delay, but I'm mildly stunned at how empty that place is with the Red Sox in town.

Why shocked? Why wouldnt post-yankees dynasty.attendance numbers match pre-dynasty numbers?

Not saying they should match, but wasn't this the first game with the Red Sox in the new stadium? The place looked mostly empty.

again, cause it poured all day. Id bet 50% didnt even show assuming it would just be rained out. The other people who did show probably left after an hour or so of delay. When they preliminarily showed the tarp on the field, there were way more people in the stands then when the game was finally being played.

Im the last person that would defend the yankees if it wasnt warranted, but the way weather was, I cant get on anyone for not showing. I guess if you can afford to eat a 2G ticket, more power to ya

How bout the people who left (who had asked the 'how can I help you' people at Yankee stadium who said the game was called) and tried to come back but was told the 'no return after exiting' policy.

Stay classy, Yanks. Treat your fans terrible in the worst economy in decades.

As far as I know I've never been to a stadium that has a re-entry policy. If you leave after getting your ticket staped or scanned or whatever, you're out.

thats not the point. The point is the Yankee staffers told them the game was officially called. Thats why they left. When it wasnt, the same people who fucked up didnt let them back in. Thats kinda dick

[TheMojoPin]

Ah, I didn't know that they said the game was called. That sucks.

How could you possibly have known?

I would prefer just getting kicked in the nuts once a day till the end of September, at least every day I'd know ahead of time something bad is gonna happen.
