What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
From the Post:
“The Yankees lose some advantage because that ball flies out for everybody,†Wells said. “It’s a new park and the road teams are just as comfortable as the Yankees are. It used to be a death valley out there in center, now it’s a joke.â€
One long fly ball against CC and the best of 5 could be scary.

So in light of the Cowboys’ tremendous success in getting people to pay to not watch a game, the New Stadium Insider is reporting that the Yankees will sell standing room playoff seats for $75.
You may recall there was talk of standing room being available at both Citi and New Fake Yankee at the start of the year but that never materialized.
New Stadium Insider is now the Brett Favre of blogs..earlier this week Ross announced he was stopping the site, then went on to post several solid articles in the days immediately after announcing he was moving to Twitter. We love you NSI, don’t give up the blog.
Anyway – it’s a great site (was?) and the new article is solid...go read it and learn about Yankee standing room.

Sliding Into Home has an awesome collection of Yankee Stadium (1975 version) photos. Check it out.
Speaking of the Yankees…playoff tickets are going on Stubhub already. Been talking to Mr. Sunshine the Yankees fan and we think the move is to grab them.
If you wanna make some cash you may want to register for Phillies playoff tickets. I made good cash off my 15 game Philly plan, which is making up for the beating I’m taking on the Mets.

Oh my….head on over to the New Stadium Insider for some shocking Yankees news!
You can now bring a small bag into Yankee Stadium!!!
Yeah, I know right? The Yankees have finally realized that maybe some fans come straight from work to a Yankees game. Some fans even have something called “children” with them.
Of course the Yankees have still banned briefcases (a device potentially used by James Bond villains), and large backpacks…so forget about bringing your laptop…but this is a major departure.
First the Yankees allow suntan lotion and now bags. What’s next, bazooka guns?
I keep waiting for someone in the Bronx to hear about the shoebomber. We should all have to take our shoes off and walk through metal detectors to enter Fake Yankee Stadium to ensure our safety at Yankees games.
I don’t know if I can attend any more Yankee games if they are going to let people bring bags in. I hope they don’t rescind their “take off your hat” policy (really, they make you lift your baseball cap) – people might start sneaking bombs in under their Yankee caps.

A tip of the Red Stars & Stripes Yankees hat to New Stadium Insider for tweeting about this story: The future of old Yankee Stadium: newyorker.com which illustrates the failed effort to save at least some of old Yankee Stadium for the new park design.
At the new place the Yankees might as well wear these hats. Three home runs were written while I typed that sentence.
