News & Notes
- According to hitting coach Kevin Long, Alex Rodriguez has begun lifting weights. This is very good, and another sign that Alex is moving along with his rehab a lot quicker than anticipated.
- The Yankees have posted a new picture gallery of the new stadium. You can check out the pics here. I'd post them myself, but I don't feel like being sued.
- Also new stadium related, NJ.com has posted this great slideshow of pics of the new stadium.
- It was announced today that Audi is now the official luxury vehicle of the New York Yankees.
So on that note this game thread is now the Audi Spring Training Game 28 Game Thread.The new relationship also includes the naming of the Audi Yankees Club, an exclusive viewing location and membership restaurant, located on the H&R Block Suite Level in left field. The sponsorship begins with the opening of Yankee Stadium and extends through the 2011 season.
Financial terms were not released.
Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
JETER IS BACK!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, hopefully he can reach a ball hit up the middle.... Sorry I had to.
ReplyDeleteThe stadium is sweeeeeeeeeeet
ReplyDeleteTook a tour today, place is unreal. Its like a Vegas hotel minus the cheesiness. New Stadium as absolutely magnificent.
ReplyDeleteGreg even though hes on the decline i would take a shitty Jeter over anyone anyday i dont care who it is
ReplyDeleteYou mean to tell me if the Yankees could have Jimmy Rollins or Hanley Ramirez instead of Jeter you'd say no. If so, why?
ReplyDeleteAnd let me say, Jeter is one of my favorite players ever, but at this point in his career there are clearly better players at his position.
ReplyDeleteCant wait for the season to start and head to the stadium a few times dis year im so exited.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteGet any pics?
Maybe you should hit lefty Mark.
ReplyDeletesorry i'm late, what's up guys!

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Audi game thread.
Stupid knuckle ball.
ReplyDeletewhat is good greg? i had forgot they were showing the game on the mlb network. so far what i see is good! glad to see jeter back with the yanks
ReplyDeleteYeah Burnett really has looked great. I wonder if he can take the same energy to the mound that he brought the to mound against the Yankees last year. Because if he can't he may win 20 games.
ReplyDeleteand we really need that, at least to get past boston and tampa bay
ReplyDeletei swear man, i wish i still lived in bk. i had the YES Network all the time. i'll be back home this summer though. i'ma really get around to the new digs and take pics. maybe get in there for my b'day in july
ReplyDeleteHola my fellow amigos/amigas.
ReplyDeleteWakefields stuff is nasty. Why was Mark batting righty?
liam!!!!! what's up man? yeah, wakefield is doing his thing (bastard) but it's a good game so far
ReplyDeleteHey Liam, what's up?
ReplyDeleteBentton,
I was lucky enough to get some bleacher seats for opening day so I'll be there then. I hope I like the place.
Nothing much!!! Well, theres something. I have baseball tryouts next week, so I go outside around saturday and throw, I felt stiffness on my throwing arm. I went from 83 to 65. But today I feel better.
ReplyDeletethat's what's up man. take madd pics and place em' up here. u know i'll comment them when ya get there!
ReplyDeleteI definitely will.
ReplyDeleteget that arm better liam!
ReplyDeleteGreg, you are a lucky bastard.
ReplyDeleteIt's better, before it got dark today I was throwing about 74-76.
ReplyDeletelol, I was able to get in on the pre-sale on the 20th because I had an 8-game package last year.
ReplyDeleteCOOL!!!
ReplyDeleteman, i wish i had dough to get yankee ticket packages and stuff. i even miss subscribing to yankees magazine! and i'm glad your arm is better liam!
ReplyDeleteI've been around here for a few months, and I realized that when liam is not around, there are like 10 comments, but when he is around, theirs about 60 comments.
ReplyDeletelol, he's a conversation catalyst.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bentton
ReplyDeleteAnon and Greg,
THANKS!
LOL!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewere all a family here! yankee fam, unite!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of uniting, where's Yankeeboy tonight?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, that guy is amazing. He's in my book for website best-friends.
ReplyDeletedamn, were losing 1-0
ReplyDeleteNO!!!, it's just one run.
ReplyDeleteyeah, we'll get back at em'!
ReplyDeleteaj's gone!
ReplyDeleteHe had a nice game, just ran out of gas.
ReplyDeleteI'm not watching the game so you guys might have to keep me updated.
ReplyDeleteyeah, it was a good game for him. i can't believe were in the 6th already.
ReplyDeleteliam, aj pitched into the 6th. got into a jam with the bases loaded, and gave up a run by a single from david oriz.
Yea Bentton, the game is flying by.
ReplyDeleteThats ok, it's only spring training.
ReplyDeleteThat dude can freaking fly. Good job Brett.
ReplyDeleteBrett can run, to bad i'm a slow bastard.
ReplyDeleteword, he got good speed. i was yellin' like crazy for him to get to 3rd
ReplyDeleteOnce again, that dude can freaking fly.
ReplyDeletetied game!
ReplyDeleteYankees tied, yankees tied, THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA yankees tied!!
ReplyDeleteUs Gallaghers suck at running.
Bentton,
ReplyDeleteDid you check out that Swisher video I posted earlier?
Hay that anon is right, we do post a lot of comments when i'm around. wierd.
ReplyDeleteLike I said Liam, you are a conversation catalyst.
ReplyDeleteI may call you CC from now on. Hopefully Sabathia doesn't get pissed.
ReplyDeletelmfao......
ReplyDeletewakefield's out the game!
Yes, who are you calling CC Greg?
ReplyDeleteYou Liam, because you are the Conversation Catalyst.
ReplyDeletemo's in!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA!!! But CC? It sounds like sissy to me.
ReplyDeleteDoes CC Sabathia sound like "sissy" to you? I think not.
ReplyDeleteCome on MO, show what you got.
ReplyDeleteMan, Obama is being thrown a lot of tough questions.
Well no, the guy looks fat to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm just joking with you Greg, Thanks for the nickname, this is the second nickname I have now.
ReplyDeleteMo with another easy inning, the guy is so great it's freaking retarded.
ReplyDeleteI know Liam, it's cool.
Hey guys! I just got back from my baseball practice.
ReplyDeleteRed Sox 1, Yankees 1,
Bottom Of The 7th
Mo just pitched a 1-2-3 inning.
Hey Yankeeboy, how's it going dude?
ReplyDeleteAnybody watching Obama? I'm flipping back and forth between innings.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!!!!! YOUR HERE!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat up man?
I'll read about what he said after the game.
ReplyDeleteI am, it's for my politics class though.
ReplyDeletewaddup yankeeboy98!
ReplyDeleteObama's done.
ReplyDeleteNothing much guys. I crushed a 3-run homer in a scrimmage my team played. The half of the team I was on won 9-4.
ReplyDeleteI know, practice ran a little late Liam, sorry. But I'm here now "CC" and I'm here to stay (until 10:30).
Good for you YankeeBoy, nice job.
ReplyDeleteHey The Bentton One! I'm so happy to see Jeter back.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't believe the new Yankee Stadium opens NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm going!
oh, you and greg are too lucky bastards! lmao, but man, take madd pics of the place!
ReplyDeleteVery funny Yankeeboy. But i'm about to leave. My brother is kicking me off my laptop for a minute or two
ReplyDeleteYou're going Greg?
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should meet up. (Just kidding of course, LOL!)
ReplyDeletecome back before the game is over liam!
ReplyDeleteI'll be in the left field bleachers for opening day.
ReplyDeleteI'll be about 10 rows behind the Yankee dugout. But, I'm a baseball fan, not one of those snotty rich people who buy these seats just because they can. I was offered these seats and I took them in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this is the first game this spring that I really want this team to win. Come on boys!
ReplyDeleteWhich game are you going to Yankeeboy?
ReplyDeleteI know. It's amazing how close we are to the start of the season. Spring Training is winding down, Joe announced the Opening Day starter, and the new Yankee Stadium is just days from opening.
ReplyDeletei really can't wait to get to the new digs. ya'll are going way before me, and i envy you two! lol
ReplyDeleteGreg,
ReplyDeleteThe first one April 3rd.
Don't worry Bentton, you'll get there.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out, top of the 8th, Marte pitching.
ReplyDeletethat was a lucky play! phew!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey got out of it. (Sort Of)
ReplyDeleteThey got two outs because they caught the runner on 3rd in a pickle.
Now they're out of it. Good job by Edwar.
ReplyDeleteI'm Back.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Edwar actually looked pretty good.
ReplyDeleteAfter this game, I can't see how Melky can win the CF job.
LOL you changed your account name.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha, nice!
ReplyDeleteWay to hit YankeeBoy!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Dan, welcome to the conversation.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice bunt by Pena, and a hilarious play by the Red Sox.
I know funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Yankees lead 2-1.
ReplyDeleteNice job Angel.
welcome back "cc" lol
ReplyDelete2-1 yanks!
greg, do u know when your gonna get any new stadium pics for the site?
Totally clutch hit from Berroa.
ReplyDeleteCC,
ReplyDeleteYou mean the home run?
P.S. Yanks take the lead! 2-1 RBI by Berroa. He should win a spot on the bench, maybe even splitting the duties at 3rd with Ransom.
The Stadium has to be done by next week!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll have an update up sometime this weekend.
ReplyDeleteBut I must ask you guys, are you still gonna come by after the stadium is complete?
Getting close to the record Greg! 109 comments, 5 to go!
ReplyDeleteYa the homerun.
ReplyDeleteGreg, you think everybody visited the site because of your stadium updates? No way, at least I'm not going to stop visiting. I love this site.
ReplyDeleteWE should right random stuff to past the record.
ReplyDeletebo
ReplyDeleteI POSTED THE TIEBREAKER! WHO-HOO!
ReplyDeletebo
ReplyDeleteWe did CC, you can stop now.
ReplyDeleteNo you didn't.
ReplyDeleteJust for a spring training game. WOW.
ReplyDeleteI know, at the time there was 113 comments, I forgot how many other people (well, just you really) posted at the same time or maybe a second before.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we passed the record (it was 114, right?)
Holy s*** 120 for a spring training game?!?!? AWESOME, and it's not even over yet. Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks Yankeeboy, I truly appreciate that. Still waiting for Bentton's answer, though...
BASES LOADED! (Clap, clap, clap clap clap) BASES LOADED! (Clap, clap, clap clap clap)
ReplyDeleteof course i'm still gonna be here. like i said, were all a yankees family on here! i freakin' love this site!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to hear that Bentton. Thanks dude.
ReplyDeletesame here Bentton! Same, here. 3-1 Bombers! And you're right, we are all a family in Yankee-Land.
ReplyDeleteCome on Yanks, let's blow this one open...
ReplyDeletea grand slam would really help!
ReplyDeleteThere almost was a grand salami. But it ended up being just a long fly ball.
ReplyDeletei'm so good with it! a granny!
ReplyDeleteThat's our future all-star outfielder right there folks.
ReplyDeleteBig knock by A-Jax!
HOLY S***!!!
ReplyDeleteGrand Slam by Austin Jackson! 7-1 Yankees!
YABADABADOO!
I love this site.(and yankeeboys).
ReplyDeleteWe are one big family, but a family has to go to bed sometime during the night so I will talk to you guys or amigos/amigas or DUDES.
I'll think of nicknames for you guys soon.
Adios!
You know, A-Jax has quietly had a damn good spring. Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteand i freakin' called it too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think [Jackson] is ready for the bigs. Maybe another year in AAA will help but personally I think he's the 2010 Rookie of the Year.
ReplyDeletepeace liam!
ReplyDeleteJACKSON IS THE MAN.
ReplyDeleteAdios! This time i mean it.
Liam,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. Anybody else seen my site?
Later Liam, have a good one.
ReplyDeleteI've seen your site Yankeeboy, it's pretty damn good. You know your stuff.
Thanks Greg.
ReplyDeletei gotta check out your site yankeeboy! i haven't seen it yet
ReplyDeleteI'm serious bro.
ReplyDeleteU know what, we are so close that I can't say goodbye yet. I'm not tired yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Yankee Kid Talk, here's the URL: http://yankeeskidtalk.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGood, hang around for another few minutes CC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing Bentton to my site. I was actually just about to post the URL for anyone who wants to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks homes.
ReplyDeleteEven though it's spring, it's still a nice win.
ReplyDeletei'm feelin' the page yankeeboy
ReplyDeleteyankees win 7-1
were freakin' dangerous! lol
Also, I've been wanting to tell you for a long time now. A lot of the blogs on your blogroll haven't been updated since like June or even 2007.
ReplyDeleteP.S. YANKEES WIN!! THAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!
150+ comments for a spring training game is ridiculous. Thanks guys, great game thread.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Jackson.
ReplyDeleteYea I know.. I gotta cut out the sites that are no longer around, I just haven't been able to get to it yet.
ReplyDeleteLets go to 200.
ReplyDeleteYou guys can hang out and chat as long as you'd like, there's no curfew, and I'll be around for a while. I gotta get the rest of tonight's posts ready.
ReplyDeleteWhat Liam?
ReplyDeleteLiam Gallagher/ CC/ what ever name that I use said...
WTF?

ReplyDeleteJust joking around.
ReplyDeleteAdios.
Starting next week i'm not going to be around much. Got baseball, school, i'm even going to D.C in a few weeks. Bye.
Take it easy CC.
ReplyDeleteLUCKY! I've never been to D.C.. And I know its embarrassing to say, but I've never even been to Florida!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Goodnight folks, I'm tired.
Goodnight all, thanks again for all the comments. Happy to have you all here.
ReplyDeleted.c. is like right down the road from me, but goodnight ya'll!
