Recent News

Posted by M. Patel under News, Stadium 

I decided to do a quick summary of some of the recent headlines concerning the Yanks. I have taken liberty in making the main ideas bold in case you don’t want to read about that topic (especially the first one.)

First is the Clemens-McNamee situation (part one million). I have tried to refrain from posting about this lately because it is just the same old back and forth again and again. I thought I would give a quick overview to you guys instead in this post. Clemens went in front on Congress last Tuesday for several hours talking about how he did not use steroids. We don’t know much about what happened behind the scenes yet, but the latest news is that McNamee’s lawyers have said they have evidence that will prove the Rocket is guilty. The form of the evidence? Old syringes, gauze pads, and dried up blood that are 8 years old. Sounds a little fishy that someone would keep all this for that long, but that is for the court to decide. Personally I don’t know what to believe right now because this is just a back and forth argument between Clemens and McNamee. What is clear is that whoever is lying will face severe penalties, for lying under oath. Some think that the medical supplies are made up, which definetely doesn’t bode well for McNamee if its true.

Ok, thats already more than I wanted to write about that. Moving on to other news, Tino Martinez is back with the Yanks as a special instructor. His first assignment is to help Shelley get better suited for the first base position. I think that hiring Tino was a great move for the organization and staff because he definetely is familiar with the system and he will be able to teach Duncan (and other players) how to be more successful with the Yanks.

In one last piece of news, the stadium costs have been upped to $1.3 billion from the original estimate of $1 billion. It is a lot, but I definetely think it will more than pay out in ticket sales and the boost it gives to the revenue line.
