Things we've learnt in the Big City

The Hojo Inn @ Yankee Stadium just looks likes a maximum security prison on the outside but on the inside it is quite minimum security friendly.

A Maker's Mark and diet coke and a Yeungling costs $16.00 bucks at a swill shop across the street from the Stadium.

A one mile cab ride from the Stadium after the Yankees get their ass kicked by the Red Sox back to your medium security prison costs $30.00 bucks.

A Yankees Cheese Hero sandwhich with Beef at the Yankee Tavern is a big ass sandwhich that is essentially a side of beef, with onions and velveeta and it is bigger than your ass. The fries are not good and should be avoided. The ambiance is all looney Yankees fans so that is tasty but the food is more subpar than Joe Pepitone's batting average.

Contrary to popular belief, the Bronx is not all bunkers, barb wire and people shooting at each other. Mind you, we have seen our fair share of projects, empty swill bottles, trash, hoochies, hoodlums, alleged miscreants and whatnots and whathaveyes, but all the fans at the Stadium have been very nice. They all been exteremly nice to us when they discovered our hick origins. Funny thing was, when the warden - excuse me - proprietor of hotel saw us walking to the Stadium, he said, "Walk straight that way. Take a cab back." We followed his advice of course. But, in the stadium though, it wasn't a ton of cussing and screaming or really even a bunch of fools harassing the Red Sox fans. It was really a kinder gentler breed of Yankee Fan. Sure, there were people selling and wearing shirts that said "Bawston Sawks Cawk" and the back stated that someone swallowed but, other than that - and a shirt with a Red Sox with a penis for a nose - I saw no real aggession.

Well, that is the first update from the Woad. It's beer thirty and me pop's 60th birthday. We're doing Monument Park and buying souveniers and all that jazz today. Werd up.

....I'm just sayin....
