Nick Swisher has more home runs (4) than the entire Oakland Athletics team (3). So if Giambi, Holliday, Chavez et al start bashing the ball out of the park in this series….then the wind tunnel hypothesis may be more plausible.
We’ll see tonight! I’m interested to hear what Giambi has to say after hitting some balls in batting [...]

Nice find John B.

AccuWeather hypothesizes that the shell and angle of the seats/decks in the New Yankee Stadium, as compared to that of the old building is the potential cause for the home runs.
Pretty cool report.

You’re right John S….only time will tell. But this sampling of games doesn’t bode well for the future.
This may have many downstream long-term impacts on the Yankees. 
1. Will future free agent pitchers not want to pitch for the Yanks because it plays like Coors Field? Of course, money talks…but the Yanks may need to pay an [...]

Don’t forget Friday 4/24 is Roundtable Day at my house.  Yankees/ RedSox.  Game starts at 7:10.  Leave work early.  I’m taking care of the food.

The famous short porch, imported in dimension from the old Stadium where it was orginally sized for the Babe, was the source of much TV analyst commentary yesterday. Will average fly balls be home runs in the new digs, or was the fact that the last few games were day games with low humidity factors?  Time [...]

He needs to be sent down to work out his issues. Bring up Hughes. They can’t blow out their bullpen while being blown out every five days. Wang’s mechanics are all screwed up. Where the hell is Dave Eiland?
And why did they bring up this kid Claggert (sp) instead of Hughes or Tomko? I guess [...]

Joel Sherman wrote that the stadium was decidedly quiet yesterday.  Sherman feels the Yankees might have given away a home field advantage by pricing the die hard fans out of the stadium and replacing them with corporate suits who don’t cheer, don’t know when to give the business to opposing players and generally don’t really [...]

As many of you know, Russ and I have been Yankees Sunday Plan ticket holders since 1998.  Affectionaly known as the “C” plan, we were at every opening day from 1998 through 2008, and guess what…The Yankees won every opening day during that 11 year stretch.  Not all of those games were easy to win, but [...]

Nady, now Tex. I don’t think the Yankees Strength and Conditioning Coordinator is long for us. First sacrificial lamb to the slaughter, please.
I watched the pre-game intro’s last night on DVR. Just me, or do the players on the Yanks and Cleveland in many cases seem, well, smaller and lighter (excepting CC, of course).  The true [...]
