Can't. I have a bachelor party to go to at 7.

I can't remember if you went to the new stadium yet or not, but if not check out http://baseball-parking.com/.

You can guarantee yourself a spot in the Rupert Plaza garage (the new one that is where Babe Ruth field used to be). Harlem River Drive to 155th St. Exit. Left onto 155th St and over the Macombs Dam Bridge (over the Deegan) and the garage is right there on the right. So easy and you don't have to deal with the traffic on the Deegan.

When you leave go back over the Macoombs Dam bridge, up 155th and a right to go back up Harlem River Drive. Easily 30-45 minutes shorter to the GW than taking the Deegan. I've done it two Saturdays now.

The other thing I found out was that your better off having a beer after the game and waiting for the garage to unload.

The maps online haven't been updated to get directions to Rupert Plaza. Even the one that baseball-parking.com gives you isn't good. I figured this out the last game and I was into the garage from my house in Maywood (Hackensack) in under 15 minutes.

A bachelor party, NICE!. Thanks for the info, I haven't been to the new address yet, so that will come in handy. The old place I had down pat, until the construction, then I was like a retarded mouse in a maze with no cheese.

I'm putting the pictures up in my graphics forum to save clutter.

Yanks went back-to-back-to-back with homers already with Swisher, Cano and Cabrera.

5-0 over the Orioles.

[dbackjon]

Baltimore gets two righ back.

[Willie]

I was out at a local bar so I didn't post updates. Yanks win 11-4.

[Willie]

Yanks sweep their 2nd series in a row and win their 9th straight, 7-4 against the O's.

The Yanks be rollin'

[Ivytalk]

And this weekend, the Phillies are in da house!

Hamels v. Sabathia on Sunday!

[BlueHen86]

Are they still tryin' to catch you playin' dirty?

[Willie]

Yankees blast 4 homers and beat Texas 9-2, and take 2 of 3 in the series.

[TwinTownBisonFan]

Twins beat Red Sox again... you're welcome.

[Willie]

Yeah. I'm not a Twins "fan" but I do root for them when they're not playing the Yankees. Other than that I don't root for any other team in baseball. Occasionally I'll throw a prayer in for the Rockies but not often.

[danefan]

First place again.

What in the world are they going to do with all these players that have been producing when these other guys get off the DL.

Xavier Nady
Cody Ransom
Jorge Posada

All playing in Extended Spring training games yesterday. Posada may be back for the weekend. I would assume that means Kevin Cash goes down and Cevelli stays up. At least I hope.

When Nady comes back, where does he play? Can't take Damon out. Can't take Melky out. Swisher hasn't been hitting well, but he's produced when he had to. Cody Ransom is fast, but Brett Gardner isn't going to get sent down, he's got 2 3-hit games where he didn't start. First guy in the majors to do that in over 20 years. He's got pinch-hitting/pinch-running written all over him.

[Willie]

Posada will resume regular duties, that's a given. Cervelli stays, Cash is out. Nady, well that's a tough one. He's a decent fielder and pretty good hitter so they could use him, but where? Matsui was really beginning to piss me off before his 2 HR's last night since his knees are so fucked he can hardly run the bases for a homer. Ransom will go away and probably end up being traded. They need Gardner's speed. MAYBE, since Gardner is struggling at the plate a little, they'll move him to the bench as a pinch hitter/runner and put Nady in either left or center and just flip flop him with Damon.

It'll be interesting to see what Girardi does, though I sense a royal fuck up on the way.

Matsui needs to sit down and maybe once Posada and Nady come back Matsui will go on the DL. If you can't run the bases and you don't hit home runs consistently then you should probably sit down, especially on the road. Matsui could DH at home and drop flyballs into the stands in RF. But he's not effective in many other parks right now.

Yanks beat Cleveland 3-1 and take sole possession of the AL East since Boston lost tonight.

[Willie]

After losing yesterday, the Yanks beat Cleveland 5-2 and beat the Indians 3-1 in the series.

Yanks are 1.0 games up on the Red Sox in the AL East.

[danefan]

Joba looked like he was on speed last night. I've never seen anyone rush back to the mound in between pitches like that. He pitched a heck of a game......man what a belly flop too. That was great.

[hank scorpio]

The Yankees played error free for the 18th straight game, surpassing Boston's major league mark of 17 set in 2006. New York's last error came on May 13 at Toronto when shortstop Ramiro Pena misplayed a ground ball.

[grizzaholic]

The Yankee's might actually show up this season.....But it is still early.

[Gil Dobie]

I'm getting ready for the Annual Roger Maris Celebrity Benefit Golf Tourney in Fargo again this year. Billy Crystal, Bob Costas and Jim Kaat have committed so far. We'll miss Tom Tresh and John Blanchard who passed away since last years tourney. One of the events is a showing of the movie "*61" at the historic Fargo Theatre.

If you're in the area, it's a fun to attend the Maris weekend events

Yankees pound Texas 12-3.
