Jeters head looks fat
Jeter’s got the 2nd most recognizable “back of his head” in baseball, next to Manny Ramirez.
I’ve been to every big league park (except the new NYC ones) – Camden Yards is my favorite.
You have a weather report for tomorrow yet Pete?
should of played today
Very good chance of a rainout tomorrow. 90% chance of rain.
DT, how would you rate the Angels park?
Was just there yesterday for Orioles Fan Fest and it was a great time! Going to the games on Wednesday and Thursday too! Go Yanks!
“DT, how would you rate the Angels park?”
I liked it better before they Disneyfied it, Christina. Still a nice ballpark. I’d put it in the middle of the pack.
PETER: any idea if they will play tomorrow?
What would you say your top 5 parks would be? I have only been to the new and old Yankee Stadium and Rogers Centre but I’d love to visit all the parks when I win the lottery.
It’s probably going to be rained out.. Looking like there will be thunderstorms and there’s a day off on Tuesday, so it will be easy to make it up.
There was talk on Friday by a lot of people that the first game at the new yard was going to get rained out.
They still played. A lot of people were wrong.
Weather changes. It always does.
Anyone who predicts the weather accurately 24 hours before the fact will be the first weatherman to do so.
Too bad the weather looks lousy for tomorrow – I hope they don’t try to play and end up with 5 inning game. Worse, they play and someone gets hurt.
Pete,
Any work about the Yankees fixing that net?! It’s in every at bat and it’s obnoxious!
Please tell me they are at least aware of the problem and will address it?
Tex will make it rain on Eutaw Street.
Camden Yards is my third favorite park – my favorite – Ebbets Field; second – the original Yankee Stadium – i loved the 450 foot outs to dead center field!
“What would you say your top 5 parks would be? I have only been to the new and old Yankee Stadium and Rogers Centre but I’d love to visit all the parks when I win the lottery.”
That’s tough Christina. There are parks you NEED to see – like Fenway and Wrigley – a great experience, but they aren’t great ballparks to visit. (parking sucks, small seats, horrible bathrooms, bad sightlines etc..)
My top 5 parks would be:
Camden Yards – Baltimore
PNC Park – Pittsburgh
Safeco Field – Seattle
AT+T Park – San Francisco (or whatever name it has now)
Yankee Stadium – NYC
My bottom 5 would be:
Metrodome – Minneapolis
Dolphin Stadium – Miami
McAfee Stadium – Oakland
Tropicana Field – Tampa
Miller Park – Milwaukee
Worst Park I’ve ever been to – Exhibition Park – Toronto (pre -Skydome)

I only read the last section…
“TAMPA, Fla. — New York Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain allowed two runs and two hits over 5 1/3 innings in his final spring training start on Sunday.
Chamberlain, pitching for Double-A Trenton in a camp game against Triple-A Scranton/Wikes-Barre, retired 16 in a row — including five strikeouts — after allowing two hits and a walk to start the game.
The Yankees’ No. 5 starter faced additional batters after three outs were recorded — two in the third and three during the fifth — to reach his scheduled pitch count of 75.
“It took me just a little bit to get going,” Chamberlain said. “I wanted to work on fastball command and my changeup, and I think I did a great job with those two. I think it was one of my most productive days as far as consistency. It was good.”
Chamberlain flew to Florida on Saturday, one day after watching the Yankees’ first game — an exhibition contest with the Chicago Cubs — at the new Yankee Stadium. He is scheduled to make his first regular-season start next Sunday at Kansas City.
“I’m excited to get going,” he said.”

m,
I love how all the national columnists make a huge deal about how the Yankees aren’t a team. They’re just a bunch of stars. Well, the Yankees might have a roster with a bunch of big names in it, but the stories the beat writers have been giving us all spring about the rotation watching each others’ bullpen sessions and going to support each other at their starts, or A.J. taking people out fishing on his boat, or CC getting Wang to go to a Magic game, or the pool tourney make me think this group of players is definitely a team.
LOL The Yankees play more like a bunch of superstars than they do a real team? First of all, what are they basing this on…..ST ? If they are, then that is the opposite of what we’ve seen. They obviously can’t be basing it on this season. Are they basing it on LAST season? This isn’t at all the same team.
This is the kind of stuff that really aggravates me. It’s bad enough to make the Sox look like they are a far superior team (which I assume they did – I just took a glance) when they aren’t, IF they are even superior at all. This crap about the team being not really a team (like the scrappy, resilient Sucks) is sickening and it’s obvious that these articles are just meant to pander to Sucks fans. Oh, why did you link to this, M? LOL
I just glanced through this – I know they mentioned Buccholz, but did they even mention Hughes? I’m sure they did not – lord, ESPN is full of it. I want to know who these scouts are, by the way.
The weather isn’t looking too good for tomorrow. Heavy rain and thunderstorms all throughout the day and into the early evening. I doubt the Yankees play tomorrow, luckily they can reschedule for tuesday.
Kara,
Totally agree. I wonder how many of those guys spent any extended time with the Yankees during ST? My guess? None. Ed Werter left town when Alex did, and he’s the Dallas Cowboy’s beat reporter.
I took a slightly more thorough look…….sheesh.
What happens if Jeter or Cano get hurt? Why didn’t they ask what happens if Bay gets hurt? Is Rocco Baldelli, who can hardly play, supposed to be great depth?
The pen, yet again, is being overlooked and underrated…….These scouts have got to be on the Sucks payroll
Regarding ESPN and the National coverage, I almost blame the Yankees themselves. They have so much power and money, can’t they work these media people over like every other institution in America does? The Yankee front office staff should be wining and dining these guys, trying to get favorable press for the Yanks. I’m sure that’s what the other franchises are doing – how else can you explain how much they love other teams like Tampa, the Dodgers and Royals and are always ripping on the Yankees.
I’ve been to every big league park (except the new NYC ones)

wow ~ I salute (and envy) you!
It is my dream to someday spend a summer traveling by train (yes, I know, you have to enjoy the journey as much as the destination) to every major league ball park.
