thenumber7: "Also, I've seen two yankee games where an idiot falls onto the protective netting. Granted those were Red Sox vs. yanks games, and weird things tend to occur."

I was at a Yankee-Red Sox game at the Stadium in '88 where some crazy drunk guy climbed up the netting on the foul pole from field level to the upper deck. It takes some balls to do that ..

NDC: "Very good point! They got rid of Leiber still ticks me off as well as El Duque."

The team had to get younger. If they resigned Lieber & the Duke, they would've burned out the Bullpen even more this season, & it would've had horrible ramifications in the future.

The Yanks keep getting screwed because all the younger pitchers they sign (at the very least to eat up Innings), end up sucking (Weaver, Vazquez, Pavano, & Wright) or getting hurt and don't give them the quality Innings they need.

Gordon & Sturtze look burned out already .. I still don't think Flash has recovered from warming up every single day last year.

Harper told three friends he was sitting with that he was going to test whether the net would hold his weight — and then he jumped, police said.

Yankee Stadium Fan Plunges From Upper Deck

By MIKE FITZPATRICK, AP Sports Writer Wed Aug 10, 6:50 AM ET

NEW YORK - A fan plunged from the upper deck at Yankee Stadium onto the screen behind home plate during Tuesday night's game between New York and the
Chicago White Sox and was taken to a hospital.

The game was delayed for four minutes in the eighth inning after 18-year-old Scott Harper of Armonk, N.Y., plummeted about 40 feet onto the large net. After the final out, he was carried from the ballpark on a stretcher, his head immobilized in a neck brace, and taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was in stable condition at early Wednesday, hospital spokeswoman Jill Brooker said.

Harper told three friends he was sitting with that he was going to test whether the net would hold his weight — and then he jumped, police said.

"The next thing you know, you don't see him anymore. You saw him on the net," said 18-year-old Mike Spadafino, one of Harper's friends.

Obviously scared and shaken after he landed, Harper sat with his head in his hands for a few moments before climbing on the net back up to the middle level of seats as players watched and the crowd roared.

"That was the only exciting thing that happened today," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said after Chicago's 2-1 victory.

Harper then was hoisted over the railing and led away by security.

"People think we threw him off, but we're all best friends, so I don't think that would ever happen," said 20-year-old Giusseppe Tripi, another one of Harper's friends.

Det. Kevin Czartoryski said Harper was arrested and police expect to charge him with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

"They claimed we were saying, `Sit or jump, sit or jump,'" Spadafino said. "It was everyone in there, in the basic area."

It was the second time in five years a fan dropped from the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. In May 2000, 24-year-old Stephen Laurenzi of Yonkers, N.Y., was unconscious for a short time while sprawled on the net as a game between Boston and New York went on. He also was arrested and taken to a hospital for observation.

"I was hoping I wouldn't see that again," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "You could break your neck."

In 1997 and 1998, there was only a high backstop behind the plate and no netting extending to the stands.

"I've never seen anything like that before," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I think that's New York, you know, anything can happen."

It's going to be great seeing the Yankees miss the playoffs this year! Finally all their idiotic pitching signings have caught up to them and they have no farm system. So there isn't much help coming soon except for the players they'll get this offseason when they go out and overpay for some more overrated players.

Buckeye Nut: "It's going to be great seeing the Yankees miss the playoffs this year!"

Well, I guess the Ming Dynasty & Roman Empire had to end at some point too .. but fear not, my man: the Empire will strike back!!

"Finally all their idiotic pitching signings have caught up to them and they have no farm system."

The Yanks actually have a very good farm team, but its all in the lower levels. Once those kids are ready, the Varsity will be back!

"So there isn't much help coming soon except for the players they'll get this offseason when they go out and overpay for some more overrated players."

The Yanks will be hot on the trail of B.J. Ryan this offseason. Ryan setting up in the 7th & 8th with the Incomparable Great Mariano closing in the 9th is a lethal combo.

I watched todays White Sox blowout on gamecast, so no video for me. 2 questions:
1) How was the play at the plate?
2) Did Cano hit one to the wall to end it? On my gamecast the red dot was halfway over the wall as if Rowand robbed a HR.
