The Yankees are down to the final final games at Yankee Stadium and I am personally down to my final four. I’ll be attending tonight, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I’ve been going to games at the Stadium since 1990 when George Steinbrenner was “banned for life” (my mom had some sort of personal Anti-Steinbrenner protest [...]

Andy Is Pitching The Last Game At Yankee Stadium
Bernie is coming back for the FINAL GAME(TM) and Andy is pitching it. The pregame ceremony should be awesome and there is nobody I would rather have pitching it on this team than Andy but it would break my heart if Good Andy doesn’t show up for the game. I really desperately want him to [...]
There Are Still Ten Games Left
I (hopefully) dodged the Sidney Ponson bullet tonight, as the game was rained out. Of course, it wasn’t rained out until they made everyone sit around for a very long time. They had to have known the game was going to be canceled long before that as the weather forecast said there would be rain [...]
Bernie Is Coming Back!
Bernie Williams has finally decided to stop being a baby and is coming back to Yankee Stadium for the closing ceremonies. Bernie Williams told The Post last night he plans to be at Yankee Stadium as part of the pregame festivities on Sept. 21, when the Yanks New York Yankees and Orioles play what surely [...]
It's A Mad World
Yesterday, the Yankees once again let themselves get shut down by a pitcher who just isn’t very good. Which is funny because the night before that, they got to one who has been very good all year and who regularly gave them fits in Ervin Santana. Even crazier than that though is that Hank Steinbrenner [...]
Goodbye Darrell, Hello Alfredo
It only took until the Yankees had completely played themselves out of contention, but Alfredo Aceves is making his first start in place of Darrell Rasner tonight. They’ll still lose in some terrible manner because they’re playing the Angels, but at least it’s one less Rasner start to watch. Aceves is no baseball Jesus (that [...]
I Just Saw An Inning That Had EVERYTHING
Catcher balk (this is something charged to the pitcher for some reason although it is all catcher related, and is called maybe once every five years). Fight out of nowhere. Dead pitching coach (RIP Dave Eiland). Bobby Abreu magical fielding fun time. I need a drink or twenty.
Something To Look Forward To Next Year (Hopefully For Real This Time)
Phil Hughes – 8IP, 4H (all singles), 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 11K He’s going to the Arizona Fall League to get his innings up since he missed so much of the year. Hopefully the injury magic does not repeat itself in 2008.
He Just Doesn't Want To Go
Much better than that poor thing that was on the foul pole last year at Yankee Stadium.
