Freezing Tonight At Yankee Stadium?

Both Sterling and Waldman called YS freezing tonight.

They are using words like numbing, blustery, miserable and of course windy.

I'm about 35 miles from the Bronx but I find it to be "nice" out.

Is this a weather fluctuation or is the stadium a miserable place at night?

Anyone closer than I am with a weather report?

Yankees Gatekeeper Forgets To Let Freddy Sez In

Between this and Gooden, I think The Post wins this week.

In years past Schuman, who like Yogi Berra turns 84 next month, received free season tickets from sponsors such as Modell’s, or was simply let through the press gate with a wink from a stadium official.

On Opening Day he had no trouble getting into the new ballpark for free through the press gate, but on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday he had to depend on the kindness of fellow Yankee fans for free seats.

On Sunday he stood outside the stadium holding his frying pan and a sign that read, “Freddy Sez, Yankees say ‘I can’t go in. Must buy ticket!”

Yankee officials insist that shutting out their superfan was just a “miscommunication.”
I think I might believe them….Even Paul O’Neill was wearing ID on Opening Day.   Did they replace all the people that worked at Old Yankee Stadium?

Citi Had A Shareholders Meeting (Financial Mets Police)

Yahoo Finance mentioned…

Shareholders — many in suits, a few in baseball hats and jean jackets, and one in a beadazzled red satin cap — brought up other issues, too, questioning Citigroup’s underwriting standards for credit cards, the government’s involvement in the bank, executive compensation and the decision to sponsor the New York Mets ballpark, Citi Field.


Evelyn Y. Davis, a long-time shareholder who every year takes several trips to the microphone, called the Citi Field deal the “most stupid thing” and a waste of shareholder money.

Mets On-Demand on Fios

Kinda cool.  Maybe this exists on other systems, but I have Fios so I like this.
(please note I only said positive things in this post!)

Verizon FiOS TV cracked its second sports on-demand home run in as many weeks, reaching a deal Tuesday with New York area regional sports network SNY to offer New York Mets baseball games and other channel fare sports  on a video-on-demand basis.


Verizon will also look to offer SNY’s HD feed — sans Mets games — nationally, similar to an agreement it reached last week with YES, according to SNY officials.


SNY will offer its New York City subscribers free on demand access to more than 120 Mets regular-season baseball telecasts for three days after the games are played, as well a classic Mets games. In addition FiOS TV subscribers will have access to Big East programming, including the Big East “Game-of-the-Week,” for both football and basketball.

Details here.
