Another victory for public records laws.  Maybe they should have used RNC email addresses and then deleted them all before prying eyes could see?

And this guy was thinking he was Presidential material? The rest of the country dodged a bullet, but NYC is still stuck with him. Wonder if the new stadium will lose money its first few years, between the high prices and the low state of the economy. That may kill off the rest of Bloomberg’s political ambitions.

Why should it be mentioned? I’m a Yankee fan and I oppose the sweetheart deals that both baseball teams have gotten.

It also has absolutely no relevance to their play on the field. Unfortunately, these dealings are rather commonplace in the sports world.

Ok, the link works now. This guy Gonzalez has been all over this story for a long time, like deMause.

Is it official, have we seen the end of PILOTS?  What’s next, TIFs?

BY THE WAY… THAT RANT WAS DIRECTED TOWARD THE YANKEE FANS THAT THINK ITS ok TO PULL THIS CRAP.

I bash the Yankees.. PERIOD…  their fans are just colateral damage.  I don’t know how anyone can condone ANY of this. And yet EVERY game is sold out. EXPLAIN that NON support.
2) Maybe your “calmness” has run its course. Your “adultish” ways don’t seem to get the point accross. All the dancing and soft talk on a 175million dollar hike in taxes..  Someone needs to go to jail. AND… They need to post a cease and desist order on the stadium untill its resolved.

I wouldn’t step foot in that crap hole city even TO blow it up. Been there… never go back… smells…

Who the heck let Gerry Callahan know about Shysterball? 

@Yankeeh8r (if you’re not GC) - Give WEEI a try as their ranting seems more in line with your brand of blogging.  As Jason referenced, folks here at Shysterball prefer witty banter and informative dialogue not shouting points and screaming rants (look I made a statement without going all caps). 

While I may agree with what I believe is your basic thesis (i.e. a wealthy private enterprise getting millions of dollars in public assistance while real peeople struggle to make ends meet) your methodology makes it difficult to take you seriously. 

Lastly if you are as hateful as your message seem to indicate - please seek help because anyone who sees the world with such animus needs some counsel.

Moose - good line about Callahan, but even he is more measured and can deliver venomous lines with some charisma.

h8tr, though I am not one, I do know of at least one Yankee fan who can enjoy the team while chastising the ownership and the City of NY.  Two separate animals.

I just too the liberty of deleting the H8r’s most recent comment.  He had been warned against going after people personally and being an obnoxious ass and decided not to listen.  I don’t want that kind of garbage around here and won’t tolerate it.

I seem to lack the technical capacity to ban him, but it’s just as easy for me to delete his idiocy.

H8R:  if you’d like to play nice, you’re welcome to post.  If you insist on attacking the readers of this blog, you are not.  It’s that simple.
