So How Is George Steinbrenner?

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 17:10:00 +0000

It was the (only sometimes) unspoken question always in the background for the first season of the new Yankee Stadium, and it increasingly became the undertone as the post-season accelerated. Even this afternoon, as the minions of the nation's media capital tried to out-do each other with ...

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 13:34:00 +0000

I hope I can explain the feeling I'm having and I hope I'm conveying a different tone here than my usual "David Howard/hang banners" rants. This one isn't coming from anger, it's coming from emptiness. When I think of the Mets I think of Shea Stadium. That's where the memories ...

Should I Take My Kid To Giants Stadium?

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 13:32:00 +0000

So here's the question: Should I somehow finagle tickets to a Giants game and take my kid to a Giants game. He's six. He calls himself a "Giants fan" but doesn't do anything about that such as watch them. It's the last year of Giants Stadium. I took him to Shea and ...

Philly Fan Arrogance at the Stadium

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:07:54 +0000

I was speaking to a couple of friends this afternoon that were at the game last night. They were Yankees fans who obviously aren’t familiar with the poor behavior that accompanies Philadelphia fans during their visits to opposing stadiums. Apparently there was a loud contingency of ...

Notes From the Underground

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:29:27 +0000

Time passes quickly most days down here under ground. Has it really been 3 weeks since I cared enough about baseball to spill some electronic ink on Matt Holliday’s drop to cost the Cards game 2 of the NLDS? Were the Cardinals even IN the NLDS? Who did they play? Man, it’s tough ...

Mr. Shea Stadium's New York Mets Auction

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:10:00 +0000

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:21:00 +0000

Here's a leftover from the other day (it's a long off-season so I hold onto things) - the Wall Street Journal asks if the NFL should ban domes. In the early going, the nine NFL teams whose stadiums have roofs are a combined 30-19 this season. The Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and ...
