We all know this “charity” fans are donating to is really just the Red Sox organization. You wonder how they are able to keep up with the Yanks payroll with a significantly smaller stadium, this is exactly how they do it.

Other wise, its just ole Milb.com I never know when the games will be on Yes, unless someone tells me.

As someone pointed out, YES does broadcast minor-league games. They also have begun to feature up-and-coming Yankees in pre-game show; for me, this is more important than a “meet the players” pr thing, but I’m also not into that sort of thing, perhaps other people are, and as pointed out, it may help the PLAYERS as much as amuse the fans, but to what extent I’m not sure.

I am also a regular attendee at Trenton games, and am thrilled to see this year’s loaded lineup down there. Ideally, I would prefer a more consistent scouting report on the kids from YES, and I would REALLY like to hear guys like Carlos Rios and Nardi Contreras interviewed on YES for updates on our position players and pitchers on the move. I have to chuckle though, to think of how inconvenient this would be for ‘baseball’ writers, who would be forced to keep up with these guys themselves, instead of writing lazy columns demanding some ridiculous move (like trading our whole farm system for Santana), without even knowing who the hell the players are that they are so adamant about giving up. What would poor Mike Lupica write about, if baseball coverage actually focused on genuine analysis? Does he know ANYTHING about the Yankees, other than that he dislikes them and is a Mets groupie?
