You've GOT to be kidding...

Just read in the Post that the Yankees have raised the price of a beer at the new stadium to NINE DOLLARS AND FIFTY FREAKIN' CENTS! $9.50! For a beer? I'm afraid to ask just what brand of beer commands such a kingly ransom. But unless it's in a "Bomber" bottle (take the hint, Hank) it just ain't worth it--unless it's Allagash Tripel. Heck, for a sawbuck, you could sit at The Brick House Tavern and Tap with Barcaloungers, HDTV's and skimpily clad lasses, enjoy the game and at least two brews in comfort, and have the added plus of no parking fees, traffic hassles or lavatory crowds. Hasn't the Yankee brass heard we're in a recession? As The Post pointed out, that price hike is going to insure that the beer vendor is only going to get a fifty cent tip, too.
