If This Is What They Anticipated The Market Would Be, Then What Does It Say About The Wisdom Of Their Free Agent Signings?

The market was not supporting face value and now it still isn’t, even for the vaunted Mets-Yankees subway series:

A year ago, it would have sounded absurd: blocks of tickets to the first Subway Series at new Yankee Stadium, available at face value on the Yankees’ Web site, a mere five days in advance.

But there they were as of Monday afternoon, and plenty of them.

Feel like taking nine very, very good friends to Friday night’s game against the Mets? The tickets were yours — 10 in Section 24B, Row 7 for a mere $900 apiece, plus a $23.45 “convenience charge.”

Ten in 24B also turned up at $900 per for Sunday. How about 10 in Section 28 at $525 apiece for Saturday?
