Your scores were ...Congrats on the alumni success! Your scores were awesome. Glad you were able to get Suarez. He's a very nice man. As for the Yankees, today someone aptly described their auto seeker crowd as a tidal surge. Whenever a player came over to sign at the wall, the crowd -- easily 7-8 people deep from the left field corner to the right side of the dugout -- would literally surge up, over and into the backs of people in front of them like a rising tidal wave. People were crowd surfing on the backs and shoulders of fans standing in front of them. It was suffocating at times for the people crushed in the front row, and it was impossible to move if you were in front. Only a few lucky people got Pettitte, Rivera and Jeter, 3 of the 5 Bombers to sign Monday. However, the former easily signed for half an hour from the tarp to the photo well, bringing back memories of Ripken's farewell tour, while Andy and Derek only signed a few by the photo well. That was pretty much it on Monday, as there was no BP due to the Yankees' late arrival into town from Boston. Today signings were even more scarce. Amazingly, Jeter signed again, which is against his MO, and I was one of the lucky few to get it. The only other signers were Thomas Neal (for two people) and Chris Stewart right before the game. Despite the hassle, Jeter was worth the effort for a ball, but so far it's been very slim pickin's. With the bad-signing Angels coming in next week, it may be a long drought.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024856798781760427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421422594035058117.post-64245126902208690202013-07-22T17:34:53.606-05:002013-07-22T17:34:53.606-05:00Preaching to the choir, man.

Once the team finds itself back in the crapper and they realize they spent the last 2-4 years taking fans for granted, they might start taking things seriously again instead of just seeing the word "paying" in the phrase "paying customers."<br /><br />Were you there in an orange shirt?
