I think the Blue Jays have officially joined the AL Central without telling anybody. Once they play some AL East teams, they will fall off a bit.

Who knew the highlight of the Yankees season and new stadium would be an exciting sweep of the Twins. The worst was Aroid hitting the walkoff, if it was Jeter it would be much easier to cope with. We lost every game but it sure was exciting to watch and pulled the Yanks out the mud, for the moment.....

The Yankees have become very arrogant
As a diehard NY baseball fan it is sad what the Yankees have been doing. Fans have seen their season tickets for decent seats gone up at least 5 times from last years prices(many being season ticket holders for 20+ years) and charging $32 for parking. This is not to mention the $2600 per game ticket fiasco. The Yankees have become very arrogant to the average fan not letting down to the field level without a proper ticket during batting practice(this might change slightly because of public outcry). The latest disgrace as reported in todays Daily News is that Monday after the Twins game they refused to let John Gordon the longtime Twins anouncer on the team bus even though he had the proper credentials and he was escorted away by security and had to wait an hour to get on the bus. This is just one of the horror stories coming out of the new Yankee Stadium. Attendance is down almost 7 thousand a game. As nice as the new stadium is the refurbished original was just fine as the fans were right on top of the action and they drew over 4 million every season since Alex Rodriguez joined the Yankees. It is sad but it seems like the new ballpark was built to such ecess to cater to the wealthy at a cost of 1.3 Billion dollars. In this economy the Yankees excesses are backfiring. Arrogance will cost the Yankees in the long run as they drive the average fan away.

George Will just wrote a great article on how Greed in a free market society eventually comes back to bite the Greedy, the whole time reading it I was thinking about the new Yankee stadium and BIN Ebay sellers. I really think the Red Sox are watching this and thinking very seriously about never tearing down Fenway. I still can't believe they tore down the house that Ruth built, that would be like Rome taking down the Colosseum it is just plain wrong. And for the new prices, it is shameful and a slap in the face to the average Yankee fan, and all baseball fans.

Where do you pay $32 for parking, the yankee garages are only $19 which is the same at most stadiums i think.

Yankee Stadium Parking
My mistake according to the $237 million bond to build Parking Lots by the Industrial Development Agency approximately 9000 spots will be built on what was neighborhood parkland and in the fine print in the contract the Yankees signed with the city the spots will be ready by 2010 and have to be priced at $29 not $32 and Valet parking will only be $40. The prices are fixed until 2014 when a regular spot will be a minimum of $35 and possibly more. I am sorry for the erroneous information as this year the price is only $19. I guess if you are paying $2600 a seat you can afford the valet parking.
