My only beef is the small playing field, but everything else about the Stadium is simply beautiful (as I expected).

And, I was sitting in the left field 2nd deck, 2nd row. A-Rod's homer came SO FREAKING CLOSE!
What a great game to be at.

Am I the only one that think Arod is going to have a HUGE SEASON?

    I just got back from the game, first time there. The stadium is beautiful and wide open, which is great to see the field from the concessions. It took me two innings to find the radar gun reading on the scoreboard but that's not much of a complaint. Great game.

    I disagree. I have no beef with a guy trying to steal a win like that given his speed.

    It took a GREAT play from Mauer to get him and Mauer, to his credit, made the play. Ballsy yes, but not terrible.

    Either way, another gut-it-out comeback, walkoff victory and Damon simply can't be stopped.

    I'm not too sure...If Gardner held up it would have been men on 1st and 3rd, 1 out, with arguably our best contact hitter coming up. Robbie put one into leftfield anyhow, Gardner would have scored. But either way, great win today. Damon is on a fucking tear..10 hrs already? damn..

    I think we've seen more comeback wins this year in the 7th inning or later than all of last year.

    i was at the game as well on Saturday. And I had the same complaint. There's so much stats up on the screens, but I couldn't find the speed. And they really showed very few instant replays. It would've been nice to see some more plays. And the A-Rod interview at the end of the game, why couldn't they pipe that so we could hear. They were showing it on the screen as if he was gonna talk. But, eh, great game to be at. Loved the stadium, can't wait to go again!

    Good read:

    http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/ba...ss.html?page=0

    You will never find Levine and Trost in the same foxhole. First of all, each would want one for himself. And with their vision of the Yankees, they would have to be luxury foxholes at that.

    Brian Cashman, who runs the baseball operation, gets along fine with Trost but has no use for Levine. The feeling is fabulously mutual. Sometimes the war to win the AL East is nothing compared to the turf wars that go on behind the scenes at the new Stadium.

    One baseball executive from out of town, who knows all the front-office players with the Yankees, laughed the other day when I laid out this version of family dynamics in the baseball Bronx.

    "That is pretty much the way everybody gets along," he said. "Or doesn't."

    That is interesting. To me, Levine comes off as a shithead.

    I have no use at all for Randy Levine. Dude showed up in late 2000 and acts like he's the reason the Yankees are a multi-billion dollar franchise.

    Anyone else notice Teixeira's average coming up?

    Wasn't he just over .200 when the weekend began, and now sits at about .230

    Directly equates to Arod coming back, IMO

    I think a few pages back someone posted .250 in April, and he hit .190. Pretty big drop off.

    Arod comes back, and he explodes...I think he is batting over .300 in May (his lifetime avg in May is like .260).

    He's a career .249 in March/April

    He's a career .286 in May

    This year he was .200 in March/April

    This year he is .267 in May

    My point is that he was actually hitting better than his career average without A-Rod...
