It ISN’T as loud as it used to be, for a variety of reasons. I’ve come to accept that. It’s not an indictment of the fans, nor of the team, it’s just…it is what it is.

I got booed a lot louder. They didn’t boo me as loud here. I like to get booed.

Maybe you weren’t booed because you’re not really a relevant player anymore, Kevin.

it’s a beautiful scoreboard but they have the radar gun readings at the very top of the scoreboard with the pitch count…You don’t want to have to look around the stadium to find it…You know, it was hard to read what the guy’s hitting for the batting average. It was tough to find certain things.

Honestly? I knew where to look for the radar gun/pitch count right away. I haven’t had any issues finding “things” on the scoreboard. Maybe Millar is just a total moron?

Never before have I cared about the “thoughts” seeping out of Millar, and I am not about to start.

Now that I have been to the park a few times, sat in the upper deck and the bleachers, I can say that I am very pleased with the new place. Unlike, say CitiField, you very much know that the Yankees play in that ballpark. They kept the feel of the old place, while creating a more comfortable place to watch a game or take a child. I’m a big fan. Most of the problems (outside of the homers, which may force them to move the wall out about 10 feet) are easy fixes- roping off concession stand lines to create better flow, improving the food (not that I can eat most of it).
