 Earlier today I floated a theory that the Stupid Genie may have left Flushing for the North Side of 161st Street…..now the baseball gods have provided further proof.

Look at the new 2009 Yankee cap!  The one that will actually be worn on the field, not just sold at Modell’s.

What’s next, black jerseys with names on the back?

I have news for the Yankees – regular folks are not nearly as excited about this stadium as you think they are.   We were all fine with the old place (the one with the ghosts).

Thanks New York Times for the heads up!

I guess the Yankees need to off-set their losses from selling $12 obstructed seats for $5.

Part two.  The Squawkers have fun with the MLB.com customization program.

Don’t forget, the world will end if you buy a Torre 6 or a Ramirez anything.

The folks over at Subway Sqwakers followed our lead and looked into other jerseys that MLB won’t let you buy.

Subway Squawkers: Trouble in Squawker City – Lisa is a jersey girl

They will let you buy a Yankees #13 with the name Boli.   Why you’d want a Yankee jersey with a name on the back is a conversation for another day.

Some chatter here: Yankees message board

Some folks are saying that they were downgraded from weekend plans to weekday plans.

Some are saying that instead of being offered cheap tickets they are being offered $100 tickets.  One of the challenges of the relocation process is that if you decline whatever they offer you (say $100 seats) you have to go back into “the pool” which I think means the end of the line.

The News got into this a bit on Friday:  here

I also highly suggest checking out New Stadium Insider for all things about C-Field and New New Yankee including more information about NYYS relocation.

It’s hard to kill the Yankees for selling season tickets but I do feel bad for folks who were downgraded.  I don’t think they were wrong to not buy 41 game packs.

Stubhub’s going to have a good year!
