I just got in from what I thought would be a rained out game. There had been a mass of clouds that just seemed to linger over the city today, with rain showers starting to fall close to game time. But lo and behold, the clouds broke, and the crowd filtered in for a night of baseball in the Bronx.

We settled into our seats in the right field bleachers. One of the few times I've sat out there, and I'm never thrilled as I like to see the game from close to the plate as possible. This was one of the rare exceptions however. It gave me a marvelous view of Jeter's catch, seemingly scaling over Cano for a catch that I would describe as simply Jeter.

There is talk of what it takes to be a "true Yankee." Watch Jeter. His number should be on the wall one day. You'll have the grand opportunity to tell your kids or grandkids, or heck, even the kid in your neighborhood, that you got to see the great Derek Jeter. A-Rod, Giambi... take notes from this guy.

Several things from the game...

I don't see the value in the dogs you can buy at the Stadium. You can buy $2 dogs outside and get them into the stadium. $4.50 for a jumbo? Come on!!

What was Torre thinking by bringing in Stanton? I know... I know... a left handed pitcher was needed in that situation.... but my goodness, you could feel it in the air when he came in. We had a great view of the bullpen, and we saw Sturtze warming up. I meekly tried to start the chant, "We want Sturtze!" but to no avail. Torre is dead set on bringing in Stanton. I was just glad it was a 4-1 game at the time!

It's freakin' late May and the temperature was just NUTS! Who would have thought I would need two sweatshirts and a total of 5 layers of clothes this time of year?!?!?

Tino, Bernie, Derek got the most cheers. No matter what they do on the field, you can count on the fans being behind them and supporting them as long as they are Yankees.

There were some jokers in the left-field bleachers trying to start the wave. Ugh! This is the great Yankee Stadium folks, no need to start the wave. A girl in front of me said, "Take the wave to Shea!" Indeed!
