Cubs fined $500,000 by MLB

DC Cubbie — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:04:24 -0000

I posted this on the gameday thread as well, looks like a pretty severe hand slap by MLB. Per CNNSI:

The Cubs were said by people familiar with the case to have exacerbated the situation by how they responded to MLB's concerns. MLB higherups apparently didn't believe Cubs people were completely forthcoming regarding their actions in the case when questioned about them.

Yankee Stadium

DC Cubbie — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:12:10 -0000

Given its history and the fact it will be a parking lot in about ten months, I've decided to head up to a game at Yankee Stadium in a couple weeks. Works out well because I'll actually get to see an NL Central team (the Reds) and one of my all time favorite players in Griffey Jr.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have been there before and had any recommendations. Specifically wondering:

1) Any thoughts on a good area of the park to sit. I don't have a ticket yet (there are plenty of options on the Yank's website and on StubHub). Any idea if it would be better to wait and get something from a scalper.

2) Food suggestions, I figure I'll be paying about $10 for a warm beer, want to make sure I at least get the food right.

3) What about the Yankee fans? They have a pretty nasty reputation, just wondering if they really are that bad. Doubt there would be any problems though considering I'll be rooting against Dusty's boys (except Junior).

Despite ESPN overabundance of everything Yankees and Red Sox I am looking forward to going, just feel likes its somewhere I need to see before its gone. May turn out to be most expensive game I ever go to though because during it my wife will be shopping on 5th Ave with her sister
