Dog bites (Krazy) man

Say this much for the Washington Nationals: They’re trying. The Nats are on the field now for early BP.
Then Tony Pena came out, had Frankie Cervelli set up next to a wall and hit him hard groundballs to simulate wild pitches. That Tony Pena, he’s a nice guy. But he’s crazy.
Meanwhile, our old pal Krazy Kyle Farnsworth got bit by his own dog. Every time you think the Yankees are having problems in the bullpen, remember this: It could be much, much worse.
Sam Borden’s latest SNY.TV column is on how the Yankees have to take care of business.
Finally, here are a few photos from Monument Park. It’s a very nice layout. But it’s just so strange that it’s under a sports bar and covered up with nets. The Yankees should have put the bullpens on two tiers in right field and placed Monument Park in left field where everybody could see it.
Meanwhile, there are black shades that get pulled down during games to cover up the plaques because they interfere with the vision of the batter. That seems a little weird. How could they have planned it that badly?
Don’t forget, my boy Mark Feinsand is a Twittering fool. Seriously, I sit next to him in the press box and he never stops.
I’m on Twitter, too. Follow PeteAbe.
The new Monument Park is a disgrace… I hope the Yankees correct this in the offseason
American bulldogs are absolutely gorgeous dogs.
Move it outside of the stadium. We know who’s in it. We been seeing it for years.
What’s the Sux record against sub-.500 teams?
Pete can you ask if and when the Gehrig bat is being moved to the new stadium?
Where outside the stadium?
I agree that the netting overhead makes the Monument Park area look like a block party area or something – like a tent covering over a carnival area.
We’re going on the stadium tour on Saturday, so, I’m anxious to see how it feels and looks from the inside, rather than from the outside looking in.
“I think “great piece of hitting” is the most overused cliche in baseball broadcasting. Enough already.”
Feinsand Twitter-
Word.
Doesn’t even make grammatical sense.
This would have been Carl Pavano’s dog he’d strain his neck or mistakenly get poked in eye w/ his finger.
“I agree that the netting overhead makes the Monument Park area look like a block party area or something – like a tent covering over a carnival area.”
So that’s where the clowns go…
i thought monument park was great, as far as things like that go…
wasn’t there a net over it in the old stadium? or was that just the seats near it?
looks like kyle’s doing pretty well for KC this year.

Doreen Please (with sugar on top) ask about the Gehrig Bat Weathervane. I need concrete answers before my curiosity turns into a full blown obsession – oops too late.
Have any of you been out to monument park? It really isn’t bad. Sure it’s a little weird being under a new while you’re out there, but it beats the alternative of getting pelted with balls in BP. Monument Park is actually very nice at the new stadium.
And the comment that they pull down black shades is a joke, Pete. All they do is lower the nets that are up during BP and drape them over the plaques/retired numbers so HR’s don’t go crashing into the nice new signs.
The dumbest thing about the new stadium is the obstructed view seats in the outfield. Still, the Yanks are selling those tickets for only 5 dollars. It’s amazing how many people complain about the new stadium.
Uncle E -
I just made a note – I will ask about the Bat!
1) Kyle Farnsworth’s own DOGS don’t even like him.
2) Speaking of bats, anyone know the fate of the “big louisville bat”? I miss that.
3)Looks like the Yankees have alot of fixing up to do in the offseason… I agree with what was said about Monument Park, it’s a bit bleek.
Heres a 3d view of some of the monuments

I agree Pete, the new Monument Cave, er, um, Park, is awful. It should be the crown jewel of this stadium, and instead it’s hidden away under the true crown jewel: a big ugly money-making sports bar. Terrible.
Who gives a crap? If you want to see Monument Park, go to the game early and walk around out there. Otherwise, stop complaining. 95% of yankee’s fans could care less about whether or not they can see it during the game. Why does it matter? I’m bored with how slow AJ Burnett is pitching so I’m gonna look out from my upper deck seat and see if I can make out which one is Yogi? Give me a break. Sometimes, people really have to work hard to be whiny little babies but Pete seems to always be up to the task when it comes to the new stadium.
Thanks for the pix, Peter. Yankees need to tear up the sports bar. Watch the freakin’ game from your seat.
Chris N: That was an incredibly stupid comment. By your logic, who gives a crap what the stadium looks like at all then? I guess you would be ok then if they just built a $100,000 minor league park with 20k seats and standing room only “lawn” seats where you can bring your own fold up chair. Right?
