Yankees Bonus (make up) Post

Posted on August 30th, 2006 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway, Tourists

Sorry to everyone who was expecting the usual afternoon post. I left work 30 minutes early and headed to the Bronx to catch the tonight’s game. On the way up here I rode by car with a buddy from work, hence no Live update this afternoon.

I just left the stadium after the end of the 8th. Hey, I gotta work in the morning! The Yanks were up 3 to 2 when I left headed into the 9th.
I really hope the D train gets here quick because apparently I wasn’t the only one who had the bright idea to run out early. The platform is packed right now.

That must suck to be on the train before it gets to Yankee Stadium after a game. You’re just riding the train, minding your own business with a couple other people on board. Then you get to 161st Street and WHAM. Flooded with obnoxious Yankee fans. Packed to the gills. Personally, I’d be pissed. Especially because of the “subway know it alls.” I wrote about them a few weeks ago.

I am sitting next to a mother with three boys all under the age of 12. Apparently, they asked Santa Claus for tickets to a game on their birthday. So mom schelpped them up here for the game. I would sooner shoot myself the take three kids on a plane only to then bring them to Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately for her, today turned out to be a double header after yesterday’s rainout. So, she took them to both games.

Well, just got off at 125th to catch the local transfer. I wish the local ran at all times from the stadium. Even though its local, I still get to my stop a lot faster.

Of course, who the hell knows when the C train will get here.

Is it me or does everyone above 110th Street always look pissed? There doesn’t look like there is ever a single happy looking person up here. Then again, I’d be pretty pissed if I lived in the middle of Harlem too. But maybe that’s because I am very white.

Finally the C train is here. That’s enough for now. All the beers I drank at the stadium are making it hard to type! Talk to you in the AM.

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

    I took the wrong train once when I was going to Yankee Stadium. I ended up in Spanish Harlem :( It was kind of scary for about 2 seconds and then I got over it and figured out how to get back where I could catch the right train.

    I am going to Yankee Stadium from Connecticut in a few weeks. I am thinking of taking the Metro North to 125th street and then taking the subway to the Stadium. Is this a safe option or am i crazy?

    thanks for the advice

    Yeah, that’s totally fine. The neighborhood can look a little scary at times, but it’s not as bad as it looks.

    Get off the train, and the 4 is like a block away.

    Then, after the game, you definately won’t be the only one walking to the train station. So, you won’t be alone.

    Thanks for your post. I have generally seen that many people are wanting to lose weight simply because wish to show up slim in addition to looking attractive. However, they do not generally realize that there are more benefits just for losing weight in addition. Doctors insist that overweight people have problems with a variety of disorders that can be directly attributed to their particular excess weight. The great thing is that people who are overweight and also suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by losing weight. You are able to see a progressive but identifiable improvement with health when even a bit of a amount of fat loss is obtained.

    Thanks for your suggestions. One thing we’ve noticed is that often banks and also financial institutions know the spending routines of consumers and understand that most people max out their credit cards around the breaks. They smartly take advantage of that fact and start flooding your inbox in addition to snail-mail box having hundreds of Zero APR credit card offers soon after the holiday season ends. Knowing that if you are like 98% in the American open public, you’ll get at the chance to consolidate personal credit card debt and transfer balances for 0 APR credit cards.

    I’ve observed in the world the present day, video games include the latest trend with kids of all ages. Often times it may be impossible to drag your family away from the games. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are lots of educational activities for kids. Thanks for your post.

    I have realized some important things through your site post. One other stuff I would like to talk about is that there are various games in the marketplace designed particularly for preschool age kids. They involve pattern acceptance, colors, wildlife, and shapes. These commonly focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This helps to keep children and kids occupied without feeling like they are studying. Thanks

    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

    Many thanks for this article. I would also like to mention that it can possibly be hard when you find yourself in school and simply starting out to create a long credit ranking. There are many pupils who are simply just trying to survive and have long or beneficial credit history can occasionally be a difficult element to have.

    Thanks for the several tips contributed on this blog. I have seen that many insurance companies offer shoppers generous reductions if they prefer to insure a couple of cars together. A significant volume of households possess several autos these days, specially those with mature teenage kids still living at home, as well as savings with policies can easily soon begin. So it makes sense to look for a good deal.

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    I have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate contract, a payment is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the commission payment. Rather, they fight to win the commission by means of doing a agent’s occupation. In doing this, they invest their money and also time to perform, as best they might, the jobs of an adviser. Those duties include displaying the home via marketing, representing the home to willing buyers, developing a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, organizing home inspections, controlling qualification checks with the loan provider, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing of the deal.

    An added important component is that if you are a mature person, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you must really take into consideration. The older you are, a lot more at risk you happen to be for getting something awful happen to you while overseas. If you are not really covered by several comprehensive insurance policy, you could have some serious issues. Thanks for discussing your ideas on this web blog.

    Thanks for discussing your ideas on this blog. Furthermore, a fantasy regarding the finance institutions intentions any time talking about home foreclosure is that the financial institution will not take my repayments. There is a degree of time which the bank will need payments from time to time. If you are also deep inside hole, they will commonly desire that you pay that payment in whole. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of installments at all. When you and the lender can have the ability to work some thing out, a foreclosure approach may end. However, should you continue to pass up payments under the new program, the foreclosed process can just pick up where it left off.
