Comments on: News of the Day – 4/4/09 http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/2009/04/04/news-of-the-day-4409/ Baseball Blog by Alex Belth about the Yankees Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:40:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: PJ http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/2009/04/04/news-of-the-day-4409/comment-page-1/#comment-188150 PJ Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:30:21 +0000 http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=16911#comment-188150 As Kim Jones pointed out, "Our butts are bigger!" You just can't beat brutally honest reporting like that! For me, the best story other than how the team played at their new home for both games was yesterday when Paul O'Neill was denied access to the Clubhouse TWICE because he did not have the proper credentials for entrance. He only had a Press Badge. Now, that's hilarious! That's all they gave David Wells too, and when they miked up Girardi during today's game, they both gave him DTR for that from the booth as though it was all his doing... You can't make that stuff up! ;) As Kim Jones pointed out, “Our butts are bigger!” You just can’t beat brutally honest reporting like that!

My bad. I could swear I read that there were fewer seats. The reconfiguration is such it's impossible to tell while you're out there, but the benches are bigger and there's more legroom and that seemed to confirm to me that the capacity had been reduced to allow for those changes.

I thought the Yankee propaganda claimed the bleacher capacity was the same. Hmmm...how many bleachers in the old stadium? There are about 5000 in the new stadium, right? [1] Cliff, is that true?

He should check the facts on that one. There are actually significantly <i>fewer</i> bleacher seats. Pete’s wrong about the bleacher capacity. He should check the facts on that one.
