caliber66 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 i'll be happy if it's the last bos/nyy game in 2008, period. why again are the yanks building a new stadium? i still don't get it.$ Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Damn, I forgot to tivo.I figured by now they'd make Tivos that are hooked up to teh Internets and can be accessed from your work computer so you can program them to record all the shit you forgot to set up when you were home. Or maybe they do. If not, though, they totally should. Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 $oh god. will my naivete never die! but it seems like years will pass before they even reach the break-even point. especially if they continue to do stuff like digging up papi's shirt for $50,000 on top of what must already be monumental costs. not that i'm worried about them.

Sir Stewart Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The thing that bugs me about the new Yankmee Stadium is they bulldozed city parks to build it. And the cost to replace those parks just skyrocketed to around $200 mill. Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I laffed out loud! But is he going to stay involved with ESPN because honestly he's such a freaking prick on tv!I guess he has more time to do such things. Instead of introducing him as "Sun-Times columnist," he can merely be "out-of-work pain in the arse." He's one of those people where looks aren't deceiving. Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Man, I hope the Yankees win it. I don't care for the AL East, but if they don't win it, oooooh, that would be terrible for Yankee Stadium, and, I suppose, for Yankee Nation (if it exists?). Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they can lock him and Jim Rome in a room together and see who survives. Better yet, lock them in a room together and then just forget about them. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Besides the Sox winning, not much about baseball makes me impishly grin more than A-Rod getting resoundingly booed and heckled from his home crowd like on Tuesday towards the end of his miserable night. They replayed the booing last night while my dad was over and we couldn't help but chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 why again are the yanks building a new stadium? i still don't get it.In New York, money pretty much always trumps sentiment. Look what they did to Penn Station. Man, I hope the Yankees win it. I don't care for the AL East, but if they don't win it, oooooh, that would be terrible for Yankee Stadium, and, I suppose, for Yankee Nation (if it exists?).I typically never count the Yankees out, but if they are going to do it, they better start soon.

jenbobblehead Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I am pretty sure I didn't talk caliber into running home to turn the TiVO on, and yes you can do it online, but we haven't set that up yet, unfortunately. Luckily i have an mlb.com subscription so i can at least listen to the game, but i can't leave the office to get a coke or I'll miss something! Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 And A-Rod is getting roundly booed again today... Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I used to feel bad for him in NY but after last year and that bullshit he pulled at the end of the season, and choosing to stay with the Yankees, i figure he deserves it. Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well, he is having another MVP-type season, although he's not going to win it. Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Speaking of MVPs, I NEVER thought at the beginning of the season that I'd be thinking of Carlos Delgado as the MVP of the Mets to this point. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 he is??? i'd better check his stats again.Yeah, he's second in the league in OPS. Take out his injury time and his RBI and HR totals would be right there with the leaders, too. Link to post Share on other sites
