News & Notes
- A.J. Burnett is supposed to throw around 90 pitches today.
- Six players were added to the Yankees roster for today's game: C Francisco Cervelli, INF Carmen Angelini, INF Justin Snyder, OF Seth Fortenberry, OF Eric Fryer, and OF Melky Mesa.
- Not news but worth a read is this Q&A from NJ.com with the X-Man, Xavier Nady.
- The Yankees will dedicate this 9/11 memorial outside of George M. Steinbrenner Field before today's game. It will be placed at the entrance of the stadium complex.
(picture from Peter Abraham)The memorial will be dedicated prior to New York's 1:15 p.m. ET game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. It contains a piece of steel from the World Trade Center, which was presented to the Yankees by the "Gene O'Kane Division" of retired New York City firefighters.According to details released by the Yankees, the grass that the memorial is situated on represents those who lost their lives in Somerset County, Penn., on United Flight 93. The foundation of the monument is in the shape of the Pentagon, symbolizing those who lost their lives there, including passengers on American Airlines Flight 77. The memorial's two steel towers represent the World Trade Center and those who died in New York City.
Steel and funding for the monument was contributed by Gerdau Ameristeel. Rustic Steel Creations designed and built the memorial, and will be represented at the ceremony by owner Dominique Martinez, and architects and fabricators Francine Messano, Mike Clar and Travis Olson.
As part of the ceremony, a wreath will be placed at home plate by representatives of the Gene O'Kane Division and Yankees general partner/vice chairperson Jennifer Steinbrenner-Swindal.

Greg, all it says in the Yankees lineup is Zach Duke. What the hell is that?
Also, that is such a great monument to remeber 9/11.
OK it's fixed. Thanks for the heads up B-Boy.
One of my relatives died on 9/11. (He was in the North Tower). But I never knew him because I was a toddler.
Hay Guys. That is a great monument.
Hey CC, wat up?
Very sorry B-Boy.
Nothing much man. Sorry I wasn't around much yesterday.
Hey CC,
What's up?
Sorry to hear about that B-Boy.
It's alright. I hardly remember him. But I have seen pictures of him though. My mom said he was a really nice guy.
Also, my Dad is a police officer for Greenburgh. So on the morning of the terror attacks he went down to the World Trade Center and went up to the 10th floor of the North Tower, just about 20 minutes before it collapsed. He got out and he stayed at Ground Zero for 3
more days to look for survivors. But he found none.
Nothing much.
Today i'm mad because it's rainning.
Whats up captain?
It's just sad to hear 9/11. Many people lost there lives during that day. Many people have lost there lives in Iraq. We are very lucky that we can still go on with our futures.
Also, did you hear how they're re-naming the Freedom Tower "1 World Trade Center"?
No I did not.
I don't like the Freedom Tower that much. I want them to rebuild the Twin Towers (although that will never happen because the Freedom Tower is already above street level).
Well get another plane and destroy the freedom tower. (just kidding)
Liam, I know you're joking, but that's not something you should say.
I didn't know this. Theres another Melky in our systom. Melky Mesa. Very cool.
Ya I know B-Boy.
Also, if you have YES Network, they are airing a brand-new Yankee Magazine special all about the new Yankee Stadium.
After the NJ Nets post game (6:30pm)
Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
guys, what's up! sorry i wasn't on long yesterday, i was putting down new flooring in my living room. (sigh), but anyways, what's up with everyone? did anyone get the sunday daily news paper with the yankee stadium guide in it?
I did Chosen One.
how's it lookin? cause they sell the daily news down here in maryland, but they didn't have the guide (figures)
The Daily News thing was OK.
By the way The Freedom Tower is not longer going to be "The Freedom Tower."
They've decided to change the name to One World Trade Center.
yeah i heard about that. i mean honestly, i didn't care if it was called "freedom tower" or "1 world trade center" i honestly like "1 wtc" better. but it's just a name. if i had my way, i'd rebuild the twin towers!
I know. I said that in the first couple of comments.
Whats up Chosen one?
The Chosen One,
EXACTLY! I wanted them to rebuild the Twin Towers, but after I saw recent photos of the site I realized that isn't going to happen.
First of all, they've already began construction on all of the new buldings. The Freedom Tower (1 WTC) is already 100+ feet above street level. Tower 2 is already off the ground. Tower 3 and 4 are just beginning work. So if you wanted them to rebuild the WTC, it would take another 7 years because they would have to remove the foundation, the towers as they are now, and clear the site all over again.
liam! what's up homie! i was on top of the twin towers that august before 9/11. that was my first and last time up there. madd fun
see, every summer i go back home but i dont get a chance to hit up ground zero, i'ma try to get up that way this july! the only thing i remember is that 7 wtc is complete!
I was up there once too. But I don't remember though.
bye guys.
One World Trade Center does sound stronger to me. The whole Freedom Tower thing sounded kinda cheesy to be honest. Kinda like Freedom Fries.
i had went with my summer camp that august. that was the last time i lived in brooklyn too before i moved to maryland.
captain greg, you are oh so right!
Captain, your right on the money.
I dunno, I liked the freedom tower idea, but one world trade center sounds good too. But I hated the freedom fries thing, that was stupid.
yeah, that whole freedom fries thing was just lame!
Alright the Yanks are winning.

Let's just hope AJ isn't injured.
Why would he be injured? He just pitched like crap. No big deal.
He sure did.
Rivera and Coke pitched very well today.
YANKEES WIN!
