I am so sick of this team.  I want everyone fired.  I want the baby, the bathwater, the sink, the toilet, the whole bathroom out the window.  I’ve been watching this since 2004.  It doesn’t matter who you bring in, it’s the same thing. Humiliation.  Pain.  Nothing but pain watching this pathetic organization. 
Ok.  Let’s talk.  [...]

Yes, just like this title this season has begun in disturbing ways:
1) Wang can’t get anyone out.  No exaggeration.  He has been rendered totally ineffective.  And no one seems to know what to do with him to fix it.  Disturbing.
2) New Yankee Stadium is a band box (for now).  Any ball hit in the air [...]

The bullpen held it together in the extra innings. Veras came up big. He will get a chance to get the ball more.
I watched the Melky game winner celebration at home plate -which Yankee was standing looking in under the scrum to be sure Melky touched the plate? No surprise, Jeter. No wonder even opponents [...]

One of the reasons today’s game is in extra innings because the HR that Sabathia gave up in the Second was caught by a dumb Yankee fan who reached over the wall and took a ball that Damon was settling under.  Another video review ensued and the Umps called it a HR.  But there was little doubt that Damon would [...]

Wilpon’s circular urinal idea leaves me dry. Maybe he ran short of funds after getting scalped by Bernie Madoff and couldn’t afford individual urinals!
Let’s see, hot game weather in August, the Mets are getting pounded, some guys get pretty drunk, words are exchanged relative to the endowment of the stranger next to you. World War [...]

Good post Mike T. Well, it’s at least better than Citi Field.
You see, Fred Wilpon fondly remembers being a small boy enjoying games at Ebbets Field.  The men’s restrooms at Ebbets had a circular concrete “pool” in the center of the restroom. It had a diameter of approximately 10 feet. There was a small fountain in [...]

In a hilarious observation from Fack Youk blog, and noted by Peter Abraham on his LoHud Yankees Blog, the Yankees have put dividers between the urinals on the field level, but not in the upper deck (a.k.a. the Grandstand). People also complain that the urinals on the lower level are bigger and “superior” to the [...]

A NY Times artcile from Tyler Kepner reports that Rybarczyk estimates that 6 of the 14 HRs hit to right would not have been HR in the old stadium.
At the old Yankee Stadium, at least after the remodeling in the 1970s, the wall curved from the right-field corner to straightaway center. Now, because of a [...]

Great article from waswatching.com noting that maybe its the fact that the right field / right center field wall is actually anywhere from 4 to 9 feet closer to the field than old Yankee Stadium.  Combine that with the fact that the wall is at least 2 feet shorter (in my opinion), which Greg Rybarczyk of Hit [...]

The Journal News takes Accuweather to task for its completely unscientific hypotehsis about the wind and HR at Yankee Stadium.  Basically, the weather guy there says 1) way to small sample size, 2) wind hasn’t always been from the West, and 3) there were some crappy pitchers and/or struglling pitchers on the mound.  It also [...]
