It’s just 56 days until the Yankees raise their 209 World Championship flag over Yankee Stadium on Opening Day 2010. But the Yankee home schedule still doesn’t list any game times. Why?
First, it makes it hard for anyone trying to make plans for the spring or summer. Like for your kid’s birthday. Or on a holiday weekend. I’m just sayin’
Earth to Yankees: Some of us plan our lives more than 2 weeks ahead!
Second, it makes it difficult to buy or sell tickets, such as on StubHub. How can you buy tickets when you don’t know if a Thursday game might be at 1 PM, when you’re supposed to be at work.
Earth to Yankees: Some of us work 9 to 5 on weekdays!!
Here’s a sample few games posted right now on the “preliminary schedule” at the Yankee Web site:
Note that the game times for road games in Boston, Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Los Angeles, are already posted. Hmmmm. But the Yankee Stadium game times are all TBD. It’s January 16, folks. How come those four teams can post their game times, but the Yankees can’t?
OK, let’s take a look at StubHub, MLB’s official site to buy or sell tickets. Surely that would show game times; how else would they expect people to buy and sell? But lookit this:
As Scooter Rizzuto would say, Holy Cow! 
…or maybe even….
All the Yankee Stadium games are listed at 1 PM.
Come on Yankees! There’s a recession on, loyal fans are sticking with you, despite your having hiked prices and pushed us into less desirable Yankee Stadium seats last year. And not built a dome over Yankee Stadium, so that we have to put up with rainouts for the rest of our lives.
The least you can do is post your game times so we can make plans and buy/sell tickets. The least.
Get with it!
