Lady, You're Scaring Us

Lady Gaga not banned from Yankee Stadium, GM Brian Cashman says; Mets plan Gaga-themed promo
By Roger Rubin/DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

Give Lady Gaga credit: She gotten a lot of PR from both New York baseball teams. Her visits to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium haven't been smooth, but her Madonna-esque attempts to extend her 15 minutes of fame are working: You're still reading about her now.

Inspired by her one-finger salute to fans and team officials at Citi Field during a June 10 doubleheader, the Mets will mock her Wednesday night, when they launch "Go Gaga for Wright," a campaign to help third baseman David Wright get elected to the All-Star Game.

The first 20,000 fans at the game against the Tigers will get a blue over-sized foam finger - the index finger, not the middle one - emblazoned with "Make Wright #1."

As for the Bronx? While diamond-studded bikini night won't appear on the promotional schedule anytime soon, Lady Gaga has not been prohibited in the Bomber clubhouse, despite a report Sunday saying she had been banned following her controversial visit after Friday's 4-0 loss to the Mets."She's not banned," GM Brian Cashman told the Daily News Sunday.

Though clubhouse insiders said Lady Gaga "enjoyed the refreshments" or described her as "lit," Robinson Cano said "she was nice." Her attire for the backstage visit reportedly included fishnet stockings, a thong and a loose-fitting Yankees jersey.

Her visit - which included a large security contingent - also prevented reporters from getting in or out of the clubhouse.

The Yankees said they didn't take issue with anything Lady Gaga did, but Cashman said the decision to let that happen after a loss was terrible.

"There is a time for things like that and that wasn't it. After a loss is the wrong time," said Cashman. "Where a security detail prevents the media covering the game from doing its job, that is wrong. This has nothing to do with her. ... It has to do with a decision made upstairs to let her in and allow this to happen. She did nothing wrong. ... The problem is internal and it's been handled."

Cashman said no member of the Yankee organization had been fired over the incident.

Is anyone else completely over this thing?" And by thing I mean her. When "Poker Face" first hit it big I thought it was okay to like it because she'd be a short lived craze. I didn't know I was helping fuel what would become this fire of ugliness and oddball activity. And she's not talented. She makes catchy music. So did the Baha Men. It's not that challenging. Plus, I think she thinks she's breaking barriers and shattering taboos. I'm pretty sure Madonna already did all that. Gaga is just making want to change the channel. When I see of her videos I'm not offended, I'm just grossed out. I don't feel like writing a letter to my congressman about her. I just feel like puking and taking two showers. Ewww.

And I hope she isn't hoping to make the rounds at all the New York sporting venues. She can bother the Jets and the Giants all she wants but if she comes near a mile of Ralph Wilson Stadium we're going to have problems. The fine, salt of the Earth folks in Buffalo don't need her scaring their children. They can do that themselves. Just ask this guy.



Either way Lady Gaga knows she likes to get sloppy and that scares us
