    here's my completely unsolicited :lol: take on what's wrong with the yankees....

    the stadium....I've never been there but it looks like you bought a bill of goods for $1.5B....maybe it's got steakhouses and strip clubs but on TV it's an unappealing, symmetrical, blue blob. you NEVER hear of it in a "best ballpark" rating. .

    doesn't help when the place empties after the opposing team grabs a 3 run lead. :lol:

    sorry--i couldn't resist.

    Like I said, I like the building physically, hate the atmosphere right now

    And I must say, once the outcome of the game is pretty much determined, I often leave my seats and just watch in standing room near the exit to make life easier. Would probably be different if I wasn't travelling so far though and didn't go to so many games.

    alcs, game 1...you are leaving down 4 in the 8th inning? no excuse for that cliff. entire sections in the upper level were empty for those extra innings.

    :lol:

    I'm not justifying anything. As I said about 952 times in the past 24 hours, the energy has been sucked out of that place by a combination of the Yankees offense and the no fun police. I did leave my bleacher seat for the bottom of the 13th in game 4 but didn't miss a pitch.

    I bet he'll be in. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arod out and Chavez in with Verlander but I would be surprised to see Gardner get his first real big league hacks in 6 months off Verlander. That wouldn't be fun.

    I'm sticking with my almost all lefty lineup on the last page.

    not sure who sits ( out of Swisher , Grandy , or maybe even Tex )
    but thinking Gardner may play .

    I enjoy the shit out of it. I think he missed the point he was trying to make. I don't know if it's that we "don't feel", I haven't stopped tapping my foot all day today, I think it's just the realization that there really always is next year. We don't have as huge disappoitment as fans of other teams feel because chances are, this team will be right back in the thick of things where a lot of other teams get one chance.

    Glad he made the lazy US Steel comparsion only updated it to Wall Street....very original.

    Maybe this team does need some losing to filter out the fanbase. I doubt they will be threating to throw me out for screaming when they can't sell tickets.

    And I will say that if this gets to game 6, that place will be alive.

    This might be the most interesting game of the season. And how I love those Tigers home uniforms. 8-)
