My wife and Son want to go to Yankee Stadium the 1st week of August to watch them play the Blue Jays. Holy God the ticket prices.

Yep in a way I am glad they were on a road trip in 2017 when we went to New York I can imagine 7 years later it’s alot worse.

So my wife told me to check out our company rewards website. I can get a 100 level ticket for only $117.70. The only bad thing is you can't choose which 100 level area you sit in or the row. That's still a lot cheaper though.

My wife is usually good at finding bargains but Yankee Stadium is the one nut she can’t seem to crack. We were thinking of making a special trip for our 30th wedding anniversary but it’s just not worth it.

Toronto beats the Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings. The Yankees in a virtual tie for first

Well there will be a game 6 on Thursday in Carolina. To think the Rangers were leading 1-0 after 2 periods and played like garbage in the 3rd being outscored 4-0. When all is said and done the Yankees might not be the only New York team to blow a 3-0’series lead.

I watched the game with my Son on MASN and of course had to listen to the Orioles homer announcers including Palmer. At least Bo seemed to be turning his miserable season around last night.

Orioles now have played 2 less games than the Yankees.

Looks like Roku and the MLB came to an agreement to air one Sunday game a year for the rest of the season until middle September. I'm not sure what that means for being able to view the games on MLB TV. It did mention one Yankees game but that's against the Orioles so I'd be watching on MASN anyway.

I was disappointed that Jones didn't get a Topps Now card for his 1st MLB home run, but not surprised considering Topps seems to be only producing cards for top prospects or rookies firsts, Ohtani, and Soto.

Hopefully they can reverse this again this series.

Today in Yankees history, Dwight Gooden pitched his No-hitter against Seattle in 1996. I had an 8x10 photograph from his final pitch and celebration autographed by him at the National VIP party.

Sadly the rumor is that Cortes will keep his roster spot when Cole comes back and Gil will be moved to the bullpen. That's crap IMO unless it's about limiting Gil's innings.

More cable adventures. Everybody wants a piece of the pie.

Sure has, as long as the final result is a Yankees win I can deal with it.

Stanton always seems to have the highest velocity on contact.
