How much would it cost to rent a helicopter to parachute me in every 5 days?

(I don’t know but I’ll get Costanza right on that.)
Hi @mlb Amanda here, can you postpone the Yankees game today? I am stuck on the Deegan again. Thanks! Xoxo

Telling me to take the subway is like telling me there is a new stadium.. I know guys, I know..

McCarthy eventually did make it to the stadium and got to watch some of Brandon’s solid 6-inning performance in the Yankees’ 7-1 win over the Reds.
If Amanda needs help finding a better route to the ballpark, I’m sure Kramer can let her in on some of his short cuts. She’ll never get stuck in traffic again.
