New York Yankees news and notes

I am hopeful of the Yankees playing tonight since it has only been misting all morning but not sure what is going to happen tonight. If the game is played it will be Andy Pettitte vs Dana Eveland. Jason Giambi must be chomping at the bit to get started as he makes his return I am sure to applause. The Big G is a charachter and the fans grew to love him. Brian Cashman is supposed to announce at some point today what the plan for Chien-Ming Wang is other then skipping him on Friday. I don't think they will send him down exposing him to waivers but I can see them putting him on the DL and calling up Phil Hughes. Freddy Schulmann aka Freddy Sez known to be the unofficial mascot of the Yankees for as long as I can remember has been forced to buy tickets at the new stadium. He was let in to the stadium for the Home opener but was told he couldn't get in without tickets for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday games. He was lucky enough to have fans give him tickets but this is a disgrace. The fans all know and love Freddy and he should be allowed in, the Yankees say it was miscommunication and everything will be fine starting tonight so we will see. In the old stadium the team and Modells each bought half the tickets for him but he doesn't really need a ticket since he just walks around and stands during the games with his pan and spoon getting the crowd into the game.
