"IT'S LIKE A JUNGLE SOMETIME, IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW I KEEP FROM GOING UNDER......." OKAY I ADMIT IT, I AM A SUCKER FOR CLASSIC OR OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. YES I LIKE ALL THE HITS BY ARTISTS SUCH AS RUN-D.M.C., DR. DRE, NAUGHTY BY NATURE, SNOOP DOGG, GRANDMASTER FLASH, PUBLIC ENEMY & THE BEASTIE BOYS ETC. I MIGHT NOT GET THE RHYMES RIGHT, CANT REALLY DANCE OR GET THE RHYTHM RIGHT BUT I CAN DO THE HEAD BOBBING SHAKING THANG RIGHT!!!
I LOVE BASEBALL AND I LOVE TO WATCH THE NY YANKEES......BUT WHAT THE FRIGGIN HECK!!!! I HAD THE SATURDAY GAME PLAN FOR THE LAST 8 OR 9 YEARS WITH 4 PRETTY DARN GOOD SEATS: LOGE BOX SEC 19 BOX/ROW 475C, FIRST BASE SIDE UNDER THE OVERHANG IN LOGE SECTION. SO I WAS PREPARED TO GET GOUGED FOR SIMILAR SEATS FOR THE NEW YANKEES STADIUM! MUCH TO MY SURPRISED I RECEIVED THE NE "RELOCATION" PACKAGE AND IT WAS $2500 FOR 4 SEATS FOR 15 GAMES ,,,OH JOY!! UPON CLOSE REVIEW THE NEW SEATS WERE IN THE UPPER DECK NEXT TO THE LAST ROW. NOSE BLEED STYLE! WHEN I CALLED , I WAS POLITELY TOLD THAT THESE WERE THE BEST THAT THEY COULD DO BUT THEY COULD OFFER ME 2- 4 FIELD LEVEL SEATS FOR ONLY $350 EACH FOR MINIMUM OF 20 GAMES INCLUDING 6 SATURDAYS.... OH AND IT INCLUDES FOOD!!! ARE YOU FRIGGIN NUTS, THAT'S MIN 14,000 US DOLLARS! EVEN IF I WAS A FRIGGIN SEVEN DAY A WEEK BUFFET EATING FAT BASTARD COULD I EAT THAT MUCH IN HOT DOGS, PEANUTS AND CRACKERJACK....OH YEAH ALCOHOL IS NOT INCLUDED. I DECLINED THE SEATS AND THE SUBSEQUENT OFFERS OF "CLOSER" SEATS IF I TOOK SOME WEEKDAY GAMES AS WELL. HECK I WILL BE WATCHING THE GAMES ON MY FLAT SCREEN TV BREAKING OUT SOME OLD SCHOOL JIFFY POP AND COSTCO PEANUTS. I MAY SHUT THE SOUND OFF AND LISTEN TO RADIO WHILE I AM AT IT BUT I AIN'T GOING TO NO MORE GAMES ( UNLESS OF COURSE I CAN FINAGLE SOME FREEBIE TIX!!!) AND THAT'S THAT....GO YANKS!!
MEMO TO OUR POLTICIANS......SHUT THE HECK UP AND FIX THE ECONOMY...START BY CUTTING ALL YOUR OWN PAYCHECKS 10 %........

Remember when a baseball game was a cheap night out compared to football or basketball? Fehgettaboutit! It's gonna bite 'em in the ass because attendance is gonna go down if the economy continues to tank. It's price gouging, pure and simple.
