Let's get the bad news out of the way first. Tonight's weather forecast doesn't look too good:
Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 47. Breezy, with a west wind between 11 and 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Even though this is the inauguration of the new stadium, even though there has been a lot of hype, even though the Cubs traveled quite a distance and arrived around midnight last night, the fact remains that this is a game that doesn't count. I'd like to think the teams involved would want to be extra-careful as to not get anyone injured by playing in poor weather conditions. Some heavy rain went through NYC this morning; they're having a break now, but more rain is expected later. The other factor in any rain delay is that there's a day game tomorrow -- they wouldn't want to delay it too long.
However, presuming they can get the game in, at least one Cub, a former Yankee, is very excited about tonight's game:
"Now I want to be the first one to stand at the plate in the new one," said [Alfonso] Soriano, the Cubs' leadoff hitter, who gets that chance tonight -- barring unplayable weather -- when the Cubs help christen the new Yankee Stadium, across the street from the old stadium, in the first of two exhibition games.
If they can't play tonight, tomorrow's forecast is better, though windy:
Saturday: A slight chance of showers before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Windy, with a west wind between 22 and 29 mph, with gusts as high as 43 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Paul Sullivan has some news about Lou:
The Yankees could have chosen any team to be their first opponent, but Yankees general partner Hal Steinbrenner wanted [Lou] Piniella to be part of the opening festivities, so the Cubs were his first choice.
Steinbrenner has told close friends he plans on hiring Piniella as a consultant when his managerial contract with the Cubs runs out after the 2010 season.
And also from Sullivan's article:
Incredibly, despite following small details to ensure it looks as much like the old Yankee Stadium as possible, architects drew up the bleachers without anyone noticing some fans in right-center field will have their view of left field obstructed by a mammoth sports bar. They won't be able to see a home run clear the fence, and some won't be able to see third base.
I hope no one here has any of those seats for the game tonight or tomorrow.
Ted Lilly will pitch against the Yankees' Chien-Ming Wang. The game is being carried by the MLB Network, and as we learned yesterday, you can watch free at the MLB.com Mediacenter.
MLB.com Gameday -- if you click on Gameday for the first time since yesterday, you'll find out that MLB.com is offering "Gameday Premium" for $19.95 a year. They really will leave no stone unturned trying to suck money out of us, will they?
Please visit our SBN Yankees site, Pinstripe Alley, for the Yankee fan point of view.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

There are supposedly video highlights...
… and other features. I don’t think they’re worth $20, but maybe some of you do.

I'm contemplating Gameday vs Extra Innings.
I had EI last year but Gameday is a lot cheaper. Anyone have suggestions, or recommendations? Thanks!

the benefits of mlb.tv
With MLB.TV you can watch the game from anywhere that your computer works. I’m typically at home with football games are on… that’s not the case with baseball. Also with MLB.TV you get archived games and you can watch multiple games at the same time, which is incredibly fun during the the pennant race. Unless you feel you have to see that games on your 60" plasma, it seems like a no-brainer to me.
Dry run
I’d say that more important to the Yankees Org than the game happening is them getting in the dry run. They need to see how all of the operations are functioning and where the problems and bottlenecks are. They want to get everyone through the turnstiles and figure out what areas of stadium operations need to be tweaked before the real games start.
They obviously want the money, but they need to test their new ballpark.
That's true.
But if they can’t get it in tonight, they should be able to tomorrow.

I don't think Lou will be leaving
In 2010. I hope so, and don’t think so.

I think he will.
Win or lose this year, he’ll do one more year and then retire as an active manager. He’ll be 67 next year and will have had 23 years as a manager.

Leave it to the New York Post
to come up with a headline regarding obstructed view seating in both Yankee Stadium and Citi Field:

I'm Shocked! It's Shocking, I say!!!
Well…not really.
I have a feeling that the obstructed views were anticipated by the designers. Ultimately, a Sports Bar is more important than a few…“seats.”
At Petco Park, 2, almost 3 sections in the third base line top deck cannot see LF, or the LF scoreboard. The Western Metals Building sticks into the park, by design. The building is loaded with bars, restaurants, party suites, and the top party deck — to give a “rooftop Wrigley Experience” while actually being in the park.
The building gives the park a unique look, no doubt. But, it’s unlikely some guy just happened notice those grandstand seats only give you 75% of the field, on Day 1 at Petco. (Maybe some fan did, but certainly…nobody associated with the team was taken by surprise.
The Padres knew what they were doing. You can make plenty of cash pouring drink after drink in the bars and restaurants of the Western Metals Building than the income from some of the cheaper seats in the house, which are vacant 50% of the time. And, I am pretty sure the Yankees have a clue to what they’ve done, too.
If Sullivan can’t see this is why there are some obstructed seats in the new Yankee Stadium, he’s more than a bit naive.

I like how the Yankees copied...
…the Cubs’ batter’s eye lounge. Surprised more teams haven’t done the same thing.
"I always tell the truth -- Even when I lie"
the longer hendry goes without a trade

no link, just a hunch. otherwise, why hasn’t shark been sent to the minors yet?
Because Lou has said that he wants to see Patton pitch in NY first.
They have till Monday to make roster decisions. I suspect they’ll take as much time as they can.

I knew MLB would find a way...
…to charge us for Gameday eventually. I know, I know…the basic version will still be free. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they phased it out eventually and forced us to buy the premium version.

For yet another meaningless game. Never thought I’d be looking forward to a Monday so much.

Quick Report
This place is really nice.
Weather damp and chilly, but they should be able to play. Field looks ok.
Just leave it the used car salesman...
Selig is going to price everybody out of the game. It won’t be long, and MLB will be just like boxing, and other sports that are all PPV. I understand wanting to get all the money they can, but charging 20 bones for “gameday premium”, what a load of crap.
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
According to Gameday's lineups
Miles is leading off and Gathwright is in LF
COULD CARE LESS
about the new yankee stadium,. tonight is all about aaron heilman’s triumphant return to ny. i hope he gets a chance to mow down some yanks & hoffpaiur blasts a ball right off that phoney new facade…
Complete lineups
Cubs
Miles, 2b
Fukudome, cf
Lee, 1b
Bradley, dh
Fontenot, 3b
Soto, c
Johnson, rf
Theriot, ss
Gathright, lf
Yankees
Jeter, ss
Damon, lf
Teixeira, 1b
Matsui, dh
Posada, c
Cano, 2b
Nady, rf
Ransom, 3b
Gardner, cf
In other words, the Yankees are starting their opening day lineup, and the Cubs… a spring training variation.

So Soriano won't get to be the first one to step to the plate then...

I know theres a lot of hate for the Yankees and this stadium
But they did ‘chose’ the Cubs to be the team they open their new ball park against I think thats pretty cool even if the game doesn’t mean anything..
Hate um or love um Yankees are the flagship team in all of Baseball.. shortly followed by our Cubbies of course :-P

Red Sox are opening Citi Field vs. the Mets,
so it must be a concerted effort to utilize two rather historic franchises when pulling the cover off the new parks

and economics
Cubs fans and Red Sox fans WILL travel for games, does not matter if the game means anything or not
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
I guess I think of it as what if the Cubs got a new stadium?
I think that if the organization got to pick a team to play the first game at said new stadium it would be a team that means something not just anybody.
"You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace."
if the cubs were to tear out the grandstands and rebuild them (effectively rebuild wrigley), and had a reopening ceremony, i would want the cardinals to come open it.
i think that would be pretty awesome.

a $1.5 billion
white elephant. i read somewhere it looks like german train station. some single tickets cost $2,500 each plus service fees. are the yankees frickin’ for real??
I watched a special on it today. It is definitely
not a throwback ballpark. Very sterile. Impressive, but sterile. As much as I don’t care for Wrigley, I’d much prefer our park to that one.

MLB.tv Help Needed
I have it all working and it looks GREAT…. however, I have a dual screen setup on my ultra-fancy laptop where I have my 37" LCD hooked up via HDMI as a second monitor. I can watch the game full screen on the tv and it looks outstanding, however, it will always exit full-screen mode when I click back on a website on the laptop monitor side of things… which is very annoying! Whenever I watch blu-rays this way or videos through any other player, it can stay full screen on one monitor while I work on the other….

So I have to maximize my existing screen space.

Looks like I'm going to be SOL
Screw you, MLB! What’s the point of an HD feed if you can’t dual monitor it?
We have inquired with experts at Adobe and have filed the issue with them. While there is one potential workaround to make the behavior described work (we believe Hulu does this – thanks for the pointer from a fan and our Adobe guru), we cannot implement the said workaround in our player due to unavoidable and fairly significant performance hit on video playback. Our player currently juggles multiple views and stream switching alongside running parallel threads to game data services so we need keep every little logic and processes as optimized as possible. Native flash fullscreen mode leverages internal hardware accelleration which allows us to deliver 3MB HD stream. The workaround will prevent all but the nerdiest machines to be able to utilize this feature and fry everyone else across the board, including those on one monitor. As such, we decide to phase this out until we can find a solution that does not come with such a sacrifice. Bummer.
The day we lose our will to fight - Is the day we lose our Freedom.
I can't stress my disappointment in this enough....
I’m going to have to bring my other laptop down here to post on and do real stuff just so I can keep this full-screen on my tv! Damnit!

but I think it’s kind of boring that they kept the exact same dimensions as Old Yankee Stadium. The stadium feels like it has no character. It’s just a modernized carbon copied (if that makes sense).
Well I think they wanted a copy.
My point was that in doing so, you hope it acts as a tribute and evokes a sense of continuity. In this case, I don’t think it succeeds. It just seems like a cheap knockoff without character…(well…expensive knock-off).

To me it just looks like modern updates with the original character.
I suppose one would have to see it in person to truly judge.
