    Rishi, thanks for that link. Michael Kay agreed with Derek Jeter about the size of the locker room and facilities. He said that it will be hard to interview players during pre and post game because there are so many places for them to hide.

  3. RussW210 April 2nd, 2009 at 3:49 pm

    Fran – can you imagine the World Series celebration in that locker room at the end of this season? Going to turn it into a dance floor.

  4. Mehdi also in SF April 2nd, 2009 at 3:51 pm

    man this looks nice! I can’t wait to go this summer when I visit. Saturday is going to be great. Arsenal in the morning and Yankees at 10am. WOOOT!!!

  5. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 3:52 pm

    :) love the image of the players hiding

  6. teddy April 2nd, 2009 at 3:54 pm

    you rule pete

  7. Betsy April 2nd, 2009 at 3:55 pm

    Thanks Rish – I hope we get more players’ reactions – I thought there would be more.

  8. Nick in SF April 2nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    Mehdi: you’re an Arsenal fan too? That makes at least two Arsenal/Yankee fans here in SF.

  9. tampayank April 2nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    good stuff, thanks for all the updates, great to know what’s going on daily or in most cases hourly

  10. raymagnetic April 2nd, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    Does the link above work for anybody? Doesn’t seem to work for me.

  11. tampayank April 2nd, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    worked fine for me

  12. manny(yanksfan) April 2nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm

    I wonder if AROD is going to ask for two lockers? One for himself and the other for his mirror.

    Im joking lol

  13. pat April 2nd, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    raymagnetic

    Didn’t work for me but I went to the Lohud.com homepage and clicked on it there and it worked.

  14. Fran April 2nd, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Russ – I can imagine that World Series celebration!

  15. ari April 2nd, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Doesn’t seem to work for me

  16. raymagnetic April 2nd, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Thanks Pat. I tried your method but it still doesn’t work for me. :( Guess I’ll have to wait til I get home to look at it.

  17. vin April 2nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm

    “There are fewer ads in the park than in the 30s through the 50’s. :Hit it here and win a suit.”, “Ballentine Beer”, “Smoke Luckies”.”

    Personally, I’d like to see Gardner hit the Bull and win a Steak.

  18. gayle April 2nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm

    You know you are in trouble when Mike Francesa starts talking Lady Gaga

  19. patrick max April 2nd, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    Yeah I don’t think there is video of the players walking into the stadium last night

    I doubt media members were hanging around a dark stadium in the rain last night waiting for the players (most of them ad flights from Tampa anyway)… thats what this afternoon was supposed to be for, to find out their reaction a day later.

  20. Joltin' Joe April 2nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm

    lady gaga, what a waste of time

  21. Joltin' Joe April 2nd, 2009 at 4:15 pm

    i guess when you have your own show you can talk about whatever you want, esp when you are as big as mike.

  22. Joltin' Joe April 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm

    obsessed with gaga

  23. mko April 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm

    Great videos Sam, thanks!

  24. Joltin' Joe April 2nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    at least 2morrow i can get a little baseball in my veins

  25. mark 007 April 2nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    yeah that was pretty random

  26. Clay Buchholz Loves Laptops - Latest Blog Entry: My Interview With Bill Gallo April 2nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm

    Does anyone know if the stands are wireless too?

  27. Joltin' Joe April 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    this is the low point before baseball begins…yawwwnn

  28. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm

    so the NYTimes has the mets doing crazy well

    http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/.....-for-2009/

  29. Nick in SF April 2nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm

    Oh crap, I never organized the “when will Brett Gardner hit his first major league home run?” pool.

  30. Laura - Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost! April 2nd, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    On today’s ESPN Baseball Podcast, Eric Karabell ripped the Yankees yet again. He said that BOS would win the World Series and that he’d take Dice K over AJ. Peter Pascarelli was a little better, saying that he thinks that too many people are under estimating our rotation. I can’t wait for us to prove these people wrong.

  31. Doreen April 2nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    You know -

    That players’ clubhouse is too gorgeous and high-tech for a champagne celebration. Maybe the Yankees will do it on the field? Or maybe they’ll use another room – maybe they even have a special room, “the Celebration Room.” How much plastic can you hang?! And how do you protect that carpet? And the video screens?

    I’m really serious, folks. This is not your ordinary locker room here.

  32. Uncle Ellsworth April 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm

    Who the eff is Karabell? sounds like a clown in every sense of the word

  33. Yanksgal07 April 2nd, 2009 at 4:33 pm

    If they can afford 1.5 billion for the Stadium …I think they can afford a carpet cleaner after that champagne celebration… :o ). I for one hope it gets soaked over and over…after each playoff win.

    Go Yankees 2009 !!!

  34. Yanksgal07 April 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    LOL…Uncle Ellsworth. Maybe KARAbelle is the granddaughter of Clarabelle the Clown from Howdy Doody (Yes ..I’m THAT old !!!)

    Go Yankees 2009 !!!

    but….does it have fish in the floor?

  36. Doreen April 2nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm

    vinny-b -

    What? Fish in the floor? I no understand!

    Yanksgal -

    I guess if they’re winning a WS, that would pay for a carpet cleaning. :lol:

  37. Mark in Tampa April 2nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm

    CBSsportsline had every “expert” pick the sox to win the East, they also all picked the sox to win the AL. The good news for us is that the “experts” are wrong about 100% of the time.

    3 out of 4 also picked the Cubs to get to the WS. It seems that almost every writer has rooted for a Cubs-sox series for forever, for whatever reason. I guess they just salivate over the ready made stories in the two most historically futile franchises meeting for the championship.

    From Twitter:

    YESNetwork After today’s batting practice at the new Stadium, some Yanks are saying that righties will have a tougher time hitting it out in this park

  39. Fran April 2nd, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    Doreen, I’m sure that Yankee management would love to have that problem.

  40. Yanksgal07 April 2nd, 2009 at 4:42 pm

    Doreen ..if they win …I’ll clean the carpet for FREE !!!!

    Go Yankees 2009 !!

  41. Tom in NJ April 2nd, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    For fun, here are the ESPN predictions for last season. Nobody had the Phils in the WS. Goodtimes…

    Fran

    ————————————————————

    Sounds like the main one to be affected by that would be Nady. Rodriguez is moreright field to left center. Everybody else seems to hit more to right/right center.

  43. gayle April 2nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm

    In case anyone noticed it looks like all the players we lost in the Rule V draft all are coming back to the Yanks,not suprising but I remember some were worried when a few got picked up

  44. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    well – considering most are saying Nady’s probably not going ot be there through the season – looks like more of an advantage than a disadvantage

  45. vin April 2nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    “some Yanks are saying that righties will have a tougher time hitting it out in this park”

    Tough break for Xavier. Good thing Jeter stopped hitting homers a few years ago (and half go the opposite way anyway). And as long as Alex is still “loosey-goosey”, it won’t matter anyway.

    “vinny-b –

    Barbershop 2 reference, doreen.

  47. vin April 2nd, 2009 at 4:49 pm

    Thanks Tom…

    I saw a lot of Braves, Indians and Tigers on that list… with a smattering of the Yanks’ whipping boys, the Mariners.

    Good thing about the internet is with minimal research one can make anyone look like an idiot.

  48. vinny-b (Girardi, Pettitte, Mo, Matsui, Gardner = my top 5) April 2nd, 2009 at 4:50 pm

    wonder what Tim Kirk. predicted for the Yankees this year? He is truly the class of ESPN

  49. you gotta have faith (bronx zoo 2009) April 2nd, 2009 at 4:51 pm

    “That’s for another day. Dry runs are set for tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon, and Swisher already picked up on a nuance different from across the street: the wind. Even though this place is one block away and facing the same direction, balls hit into the outfield was moving more towards the right.”

  50. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    espn’s al predictions come out tomorrow

  51. Laura - Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost! April 2nd, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    Tim Kurkjian usually picks us to win, but he’s been getting burned these last few years so I’m expecting him to go either BOS or TB.

    I wonder who Peter Gammons will choose. :P

  52. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    http://yes.mlblogs.com/archive....._stad.html

    scroll down for a melky/brett pic – the are miles apart on the bench and not even looking at each other

  53. Nick in SF April 2nd, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    Official Nick in SF predictions come out right now: Yankees.

  54. vin April 2nd, 2009 at 4:56 pm

    Only one “expert” correctly picked more than 1 of the AL’s playoff teams (in proper position) – Jonah Kerry. He had the Yanks, Indians, Angels, and BoSox as Wild Card.

  55. Rishi April 2nd, 2009 at 4:58 pm

    new post

  56. Mehdi also in SF April 2nd, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    I concur with Nick in SF. I too pick the Yankees to win everything and everyone. Ok on to more important matters. Nick, where are you catching the game on Saturday. I’m gonna watch the Arsenal game at Danny Coyles for sure. Might stay there for the Yankees game as well, but it might get taken over by Tar Heel hooligans. Aces? Kezar?
