Some random notes

The Yankees have finally heard some of the fans complaints and relaxed their batting practice rules today. The fans can now go watch BP on the field level in the outfield and bleachers which is great news. The fans voices can be heard and were heard so lets keep it up if we have anymore complaints. There is a story that Josh Thomson of the Journal News did today on this highschool lefty whose name is Ryan Pennell. He struck out 21 in a seven inning game yesterday. He had to get 23 outs because two of the strikeouts got away from the catcher and the batter reached first base. He is 7-0 with a 0.29 era on the season. He has 112 strikeouts in 49 innings, I hope the Yankees are keeping their eyes on him. Jim Leyritz is in trouble again, apparently went to the hospital on suicide alert after trying to start his car but it wouldn't start because the device in his car that tests his breath showed that he didn't pass to be able to drive. The mighty has fallen with this guy, its really a sad situation. It doesn't look like this guy is going to learn and just needs to be locked up. Yankee Stadium will be gone soon so go to WCBS radio 880 and look at the pictures, this will be sad as it is slowly torn down.
