Yes, I know it was yesterday, but I was living it up at Yankee Stadium in the Audi Suite, so I didn't post ;) The Audi Club Suite is really insanely luxurious. When you walk in there is a hostess to escort you to your seat. Our seats were in the first row up against the glass. At your seat there is a place setting for you to enjoy your food from the buffet. Yes, I said buffet. You have a server to bring you your drinks. The buffet is upscale dining. There are several cooking stations offering many different dishes. Yesterday some of the items on the menu were as follows: Lobster tempura, Braised chicken sliders, Brisket, Vegetable soup. There was also a seperate hot dog station as well as bread stations that offered all sorts of bread and different butters. There was also ceaser salad, mozzarella and tomoatoes and assorted cheeses available. Last but not least there was a desert cart that offered chocolate covered strawberries, mini cakes, cookies and canolis. Everything was delicious.
The view from our seats was fabulous, sweeping views of the whole field. During the inning you could hear the sound of the YES telecast and in between they would turn it down.
The tickets were purchased by someone else so Im not positive about the breakdown of the price, but I believe it costs $150 for everything and you just have to pay for booze. The ticket price alone is $75 and the $65 "service fee" is for the buffet. Again. I could be wrong so dont take my word for it.
Overall it was a great experience, something I would do again for a special occasion. But nothing compares to being outside with all the screaming fans :)
Yankees went into extra innings with a walk off win by a hit from Jorge Posada. Note to Jorge: Lighten up with the pie in the face. Its all in good fun!
In todays game Joba Chamberlain was on the mound. And well, he sucked. But if you asked him how he did after the game, he thought he did just fine. Im starting to believe that Joba is starting not to care about his job as much as he should. I quote: "Everyday the sun comes up and I still have a job, so thats all that matters." "I was just against a really good line up." Um, yeah so was Aceves and he was almost lights out. My advice Joba : You better check yourself before you wreck yourself!
I am so effin happy that Mark Teixeira beat out Kevin "goatface" Youkilis to start at first for the All Star game! Good work Yankee fans! Jeter and Mariano will be in the game as well.
Im watching Yankees on Deck right now, why does David Cone host this show? I love him in the booth but hes a bit harsh to look at. All that partying kids....
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!

Yawn.
You know your a spoiled Yankee fan when you are saying a Yankee win was boring. But, it was!
Joba was on the mound last night and was not terrible, but wasnt great either. He was just blah. In the 6th inning Joba was out and Philly 8 ball was in. Then it was on to Filthy Phil Hughes. Phil had his great stuff last night, ending the inning with just 9 pitches. But of course Girardi took him out. Why? I dont know. Who know why Girardi makes half the moves he does in situations like last night.
After he took out Phil, Brian Bruney minus one mustache entered. He on the other hand, did not have his stuff. Bruney allowed the Mariners to slash the lead. But in the end, Mo made the save and the Yankees won. A second later, I fell asleep. I think it was the first time I was struggling to stay awake during a game.
Just a reminder, I will be at the game this Saturday, July 4th. If you are around and want to meet for a chat or brewskie...email me at lovelightlearn@yahoo.com ill get it on my cell :)
Drinks for the game tonight! yay!

Pirate Herpes has infultrated the Yankees!
The Yankees have traded 2 minor leaguers for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Eric Hinske.
The reason for this is to add some insurance to the bench as Alex Rodriguez will have to be rested here and there due to his hip surgery. Also, the Yankees would like to send down Ramiro Pena so he could further develop and get more at bats. He could be used later on in the season.
If you didn't know already, the pirates allegedly all share the same herpes infested clubhouse hooker. This speculation was fueled last season by what appeared to be herpe lesions on the mouths of some Pirate players.
Burn all his clothes and make sure he is fully medicated! And for god sakes, keep him away from my Tex!!!

On a Roll....
The New York Yankees have swept the Mets, Mariano Rivera recorded his 500th save and Alex Rodriguez seems to be coming out of his slump. All is well in Yankee land right now. If your a Met fan, I don't know what to say to you.
Watching Mo get his 500th save was great. Couldn't happen to a better man. Mo is always so humble and gracious and a tremendous competitive athlete. Congrats Mo!
My apartment hunting continued through the week, thus the lack of updates. But I think I have finally found a place and all should be finalized this evening *fingers crossed*. Yankeehottie is an independent woman y'all! haha Watch out world! I was looking in Astoria, Queens originally but nothing seemed to be the perfect place. So I am staying in North Bergen, NJ. People, just because its New jersey does not mean it is light years away! It takes me 20 minutes to get to the city on the bus and it leaves me in midtown. I hate when I tell people I live in Jersey and they make a face like "oh Jersey, that's so far." Its really not. AND I have a view of the city skyline, how many people can say that? LOL I'm just so happy to have a place to make my home and be by myself. Now maybe I can actually date someone? I'm available bitches :) I know its hard to believe.... ;)
Yesterday morning I had lunch with Pops and he requested I post a question here to see the feedback, so here it is...
What is the speed of a good throw from shortstop to first base? Does it compare to a pitcher throwing 92MPH?
What do you think? You can post your thoughts or answers in the comment section of this post.
Last night there was no Yankees baseball, so I tuned into some of the Brewers/Mets game. WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEAL with the weird Brewer mascot that comes out of I don't even know what that smokey thing is in the outfield, waving a flag?! I think it was the most bizarre celebration of a grand slam I have ever seen.
Thanks for reading! is it Friday yet?

Finally!!
The Yankees won a game! I was starting to forget what it felt like to cheer for a winning team.
It would seem the Yankees organization was starting to get fed up as well, with Brian Cashman being at the game yesterday and attending a meeting with all the hitters before the game. It seemed to work as the Yankee bats magically came alive last night. I have to give a big congrats to my favorite off the boat player Francisco Cervelli for hitting his first major league homerun. He was so excited and cute running the bases! Love him.
Joe Girardi got ejected from the game last night for arguing Brett Gardner getting picked off at first. That was a TERRIBLE call. He was clearly safe. There was some speculation this morning that Girardi may have asked to be ejected. I doubt it. Tony Pena took over manager duties which I quite enjoyed. I realize Joe was probably calling the shots from 15 feet away but the Yankees seemed to immediately let loose after the ejection. Tony Pena was pumped up while instructing the team. I think more managers should be this way. What is the deal with the miserable straight faced look all the time? Show some emotion dammit!! Shit, I got pumped up looking at Pena.
Joba Chamberlain pitched a hell of a game last night, lasting 7 innings. I don't think he even walked anybody.
Mariano Rivera came in to close it out which meant he got a chance to bat at the plate. I think that was one of the funniest Yankee moments I have ever seen. Melky Cabrera was gearing him up with gloves, helmet and a bat as Mo sat there spaced out. Melky seemed to be giving him instructions as well. I was cracking up. It was like they were sending a kid on a motorcycle and saying "Just close your eyes and hold on tight!" Mo ended up hitting a fast ball to left but it was caught. That my friends was the play of the game. He later admitted that he was told not to swing but ignored these directions. Love Mo.
So this week I am crushing on Cervelli I think. Teixiera just isn't doing it for me this week, I dont know why. Marisol Cervelli sounds good, no?
On another note, it was in Page Six that Kate Hudson has been following the team everywhere to be with Alex Rodriguez. Does anyone else find this a tad desperate? They just started dating! Why does she have to crawl up the ass of every guy she dates? Maybe thats why you are still single Kate! You are a distraction and you should cut it out. Its not that hip surgery that's exhausting him honey.
I am attending the game for the 4th of July, I will be sitting in the Audi Yankees Club. Can't wait to try that $65 buffet! I heard its pretty exquisite...mmmmm Im hitting the gym all week! If anyone is going hit me and lets have a beer ;)

Hamptons Hiatus
Yo yo yo!
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been apartment hunting all week. Its taken up most of my time but should be done next week!
Also, I am spending this weekend in the Hamptons so I doubt I will update. Yes, I can hang out with the "sophisticated". Ha!
Too sum out how I feel about the Yankees right now: Girardi shouldn't get too comfortable, but where the eff are the Steinbrenners? Joba...may very well belong in the bullpen after all. This should have been the perfect oppurtunity to gain some momentum and we ended up looking dumb by the worst team in baseball. Somethings gotta give. Girardi is not doing much to amp up this team, he may be overmatched by veterans who just don't have respect for him.
Yankees, HANDLE IT!

The Jorge Posada smear campaign....
This is something I meant to write about last week but didn't get around too. I have been thinking about how most of the bad pitching seems to be when Jorge is behind the plate. But I wasn't sure if it was just me...then I came across this article via Yahoo Sports....
What do you guys think?

Can a catcher be blamed for poor pitching? According to the New York Times, and in the case of the New York Yankees, it can.
According to the Times, there is a striking difference in pitching statistics when Jorge Posada catches. With Posada behind the plate, the Yankees' pitchers have a 6.31 ERA The combined ERA with Francisco Cervelli(notes), Jose Molina(notes) and Kevin Cash(notes) is 3.81.
Posada has caught four starts by Chien-Ming Wang(notes), whose job status is now evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Even removing those starts, the staff's ERA with Posada is still high, at 5.47.
The Times reported that A.J. Burnett(notes), in particular, seems to struggle with Posada. In Burnett's four starts pitching to Posada, opponents have batted .330. In nine starts with the other catchers, the average is .223. When he lost a six-run lead in Boston in April, Burnett questioned the pitch selection, though he blamed himself, not Posada. Asked Sunday about the difference in pitching to the rookie Cervelli, Burnett gave a careful but revealing answer.
"I think it's just a matter of — I don't know if it's the catcher — but we threw curveballs in fastball counts, we had them looking for something and they had no idea what was coming, I don't think," Burnett said. "That's huge."
What do you guys think?
