Yankee Stadium Playoffs: No Backpacks

From NJ.com and the Favre-retired New Stadium Insider:

During the 2009 postseason, in compliance with a directive from the NYPD and MLB, backpacks will not be permitted in Yankee Stadium, regardless of size.

The Yankees reserve the right to inspect any bags, clothing or other articles prior to entry into the Stadium and prohibit entry or require removal of any items the Yankees deem inappropriate or potentially injurious to the Stadium, other patrons or field personnel.

I brought this up a few weeks ago that stadiums would overreact to the terror suspects….and I continue to maintain that when we can’t bring a bag to a baseball game, perhaps the terrorists are indeed winning.

Citi Field Ribbons Were Lowered

Somehow we missed this one…but it was mentioned during the WFAN interview, and reader Scott shot me a note…

Hey Shannon,

I went to Citi for the first time since July yesterday for the last game and I noticed that the LED was lowered about 20 to 24 inches. This may in fact be old news, but I did not know about this! Amazing! I wrote about it, figured to be the only victory I witnessed this year, http://sectionsix.metsblog.com/blog/_archives/2009/10/5/4342440.html.

That’s good that they did that. Seriously, as much fun as killing the Mets is, I would be happy to help them publicize their fan-friendly efforts. Drop me a note Metsies when you do good things! [email protected]

Good Francesca Recap

NY Baseball Digest has a great recap of the Franscesca interview including:

Did anyone notice the glance Omar gave Jeff when he said â€œOmar made the decision to keep Jerryâ€, almost as if he was surprised by the answer. The fact that Jeff was surprised by fan anger regarding the lack of team history at Citi Field shows you how out of touch he is with the product.

David Howard Needs To Look At These "Sightline Issues" At Citi Field

David Howard told Mike Francesca that fans overreacted to “sightline issues.”

David…here ya go. You keep telling me we’re wrong. Defend any of this…

People paid you money to sit in these seats. How dare you say that overreacted!

Readers: feel encouraged to grab the pictures for your own use on your own sites or message boards.

Keith Leaving SNY? (Updated)

From the Daily News:

“I’ve enjoyed the four years and, hopefully, I’m in the middle of negotiating my new contract, hopefully, I’ll be back (next season),” Hernandez said.

Darling, eyebrows raised and totally surprised, looked at Hernandez and asked: “Are you doing that (negotiating your contract on TV) now?”

“Hopefully I’ll be back,” Hernandez said. “If not, it’s been a great four years.”

Maybe we could get Fran Healy back? KIDDING.
