Secondary Market For Yankee Stadium Autograph "Legends Suite Standing Room Area"

I have decided to start a secondary market for autographs at Yankee Stadium’s Legends Suites Area.
 
I will buy a once in a lifetime between the bases legends suite.
 
You will email me requesting an appointment to rent my VIP autograph standing room on the good side of the moat.   We agree on a time, and I will meet you by the windbreaker tarp behind home plate.
 
You give me $100, I give you my physical ticket for 10 minutes (i have your credit card on file with a refundable $3000 charge in case you don’t come back).   You cross the moat and get your autograph at your alloted time, then come back to me where I pass the ticket to the next sucker, I mean fan.
 
It’s like Stubhub but different.  Or you can go stand down in the corners with the riffraff.
 
Details for “Get Up Close At Famous Unnamed Stadium Dot Com” coming soon. 
 
 
 
 

Yahoo News Picks Up The "Trade Jose Reyes" Story Which Means It Will Be Big Deal (New York Mets)

Yahoo, which is one of the leading sites in the world for internet news, has picked up on the Trade Reyes discussion.

“You could get an impact hitter or maybe a front-end starter for Reyes, and then go out and get a shortstop. Last winter a guy like Orlando Cabrera(notes) was out there forever. Obviously he doesn’t have the same talent, but he’s a heady player and that’s what you want from your shortstop.”


This story is going to get bigger.  The “we didn’t bench him” cover-up is silly.   Sports talk hosts now have a good topic.  Bored beat reporters trapped on the west coast for a week and a half will write stories.   Fat bloggers sitting on their deck on a Saturday afternoon will wax poetic.
As I have said and will say – Reyes is good but he’s over rated.  I would trade him straight up for Jimmy Rollins in a second.  The Phillies never would.

Since I like to toot my own horn I will point out that I told you on April 24th that if you want to break up “the core” it is Reyes that needs to go.

You tell me we could have a front line starter and live with “Orlando Cabrera” at shortstop?  Done.

New York Yankees Play PR Game Well But The Moat Is Still Up

Well played Lonn Trost….at least the Daily News and a good looking former NFL QB who probably hasn’t paid for a ticket since he was 12 have bought into your tricks.  Hopefully the bloggers will call you on it so the mainstream press can by Monday.

What is not being said below (from the Daily News) is that you still can’t enter the legends suites…which means that you can forage for autographs in the corners with the rest of the riff raff but don’t you dare cross the moat.   Best line yesterday was that the Yankees might hire snipers to keep you out.

OK I gotta go to work – New Stadium Insider this is all you baby.

The Yankees have changed the policy that barred fans from entering sections adjacent to the field during BP. Regardless of where their ticketed seats are, Yankees spokeswomanAlice McGillionsaid spectators will be permitted into all the areas without protective screening while the Yankees hit. The sections where they are permitted are on the field level, Sections 103-111 and 129-136, and also all Bleachers sections.
Fans will be asked to return to their ticketed seats “following the conclusion of the Yankees’ batting practice or 1 hour and 45 minutes after the gates open,” the new policy says.
Under the old policy, only fans with tickets in those sections were allowed there during batting practice. Seats in those sections, many between the dugouts and the foul poles, sell at $95 on game days.
“The club decided to liberalize the policy,” McGillion said. “Now anyone with a ticket can come down into those sections and get close during batting practice.”

While You Slept, The New York Mets Benched Their Over Rated Shortstop Jose Reyes

Is Jose Reyes good?  Of course he is.  Is he over rated?  Of course he is.   Jose is someone with God given talent who chooses to get by on a smile and speed rather than learning how to play.   He gets by on being  “young” even though he’s in his seventh season.

Some time between cadillac-ing it in Wednesday’s game and the first pitch last night Jose developed a (cough) calf injury so he sat last night.

As I typed this, I googled some stats and when I typed “Jose Reyes” into Google, discovered that John Harper thinks similarly, and since I need to get ready for work I will pass it off to the Daily News.

The myth the Mets have tried to sell everyone the last couple of years is that Jose Reyes is still young, that he’ll stop making bonehead plays when he matures as a major leaguer. Only it’s faulty logic any way you want to dissect it.
For one thing, in baseball terms Reyes is not young at all anymore. He’ll be 26 in a few weeks, he’s been in the major leagues for seven seasons, and it’s not as if he came to the game late. He grew up playing it in the Dominican Republic,  and, organized or not, that’s a scenario scouts say has produced a lot of savvy ballplayers.
