Before we start the season in earnest, let's talk about these little tidbits:
***YANKEES ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT THE FANS***
Not only have they provided us with a new stadium to view our beloved Yanks, but they have upgraded the snack menu, too. You can now get Surf & Turf for only $54.75. Or a 28 oz. Porterhouse for the same $54.75. Too heavy a meal? Well, a 10 oz. Burger is only $10.50 (cheese is extra, of course). A mundane little hot dog is $5.00. At least you won't be bothered by a bunch of drunks, cursing and staggering around. At $6 a glass, there won't be too many people who can afford to get bombed. That's the way to cater to your fans, Yankees...well, except for the "partial-view" fans.
Don't count on the Mets to help you, either. A Hot Dog is $5.75 and a beer is $6.50.
***THE ONE BAD THING ABOUT THE PLAYOFF SYSTEM***
Every prediction I've seen, indicates that the record of the AL East 'Big Three' will all have better records than the remaining 11 teams in the AL and one of the Big Three won't make the playoffs. Just doesn't seem right.
***THE JETER ISSUE***
Get used to this, we're probably going to hear it all year. Derek's contract is up after the 2010 season and everyone's wondering what the Yanks will do. What can you pay an ageing shortstop with minimal range, a weakening arm and diminishing power? And what could a new position be? The outfield? Even if you lose two next year (Matsui & Damon contracts are up), you'd still have 4 outfielders fighting for playing time. Is it possible we might see Jeter in Dodger Blue in two years? Excuse me while I help Annie-O up off the floor.
