Wednesday's Frosty Mug
Published 7/16/2008 by KLSnow at Brew Crew Ball
... Could someone please help him learn how to appropriately spend a birthday? Roy Halladay is upset with the Jays annual return to mediocrity. He's taken less money to stay, eaten a ton of innings and pitched Cy Young caliber baseball for years on middle of the road teams so I understand why he's upset, but pitching in Toronto does have one added perk: topless women in the outfield. That doesn't happen at Yankee Stadium, I'd guess, although there is a NASA Gigapan you can check out if you want to make sure. Alyssa Milano is done dating ...

Find yourself at Yankee Stadium

... As part of an example of what NASA imaging technology can do, mosey on over to this nifty applet on Sports Illustrated’s Website. The image — a composite of 124 frames shot over 10 minutes — shows just how detailed GigaPan technology can be. If you were at the Yankees-Red Sox game on July 4th, odds are pretty good that you can find yourself, in high res, in that photo. Oddly, because of the time lapse, Matsuzaka is just finishing up a pitch while A-Rod has stepped out of the box. (Hat tip to ...

Longest All Star Game ever

Rover found this 7/16/2008 on riveraveblues.com

Posted by mobile phone: The Yankee Stadium scoreboard just told those of us still left in the Stadium that this is now the longest ASG in terms of hours. After the AL fails to score in the 15th, we’ll reach a new innings mark too. Apparently, the ghosts of Yankee Stadium are trying to send a message… Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blog

Opponents Say Yanks Will Never Be the Same Without Yankee Stadium

Greg C. posted 7/18/2008 from slidingintohome.blogspot.com

From Sean Quinn : They say Babe Ruth built Yankee Stadium. Years from now, they might say Alex Rodriguez used a chunk of his $275 million and hired someone to build the new Yankee Stadium. Last night’s All-Star game was not just a farewell to Yankee Stadium, it was a farewell to any good left in the Evil Empire. A year from now, teams visiting the Bronx will no longer be playing the storied ...

A musing on the new Stadium

Posted 7/18/2008 on River Avenue Blues » River Avenue Blues, A New York Yankees Blog

This week, while watching both the Home Run Derby and the All Star Game from Tier Reserved Section 31, I got to thinking about the seats in Yankee Stadium and the seats in the new stadium. While we know that the Tier Boxes at the new stadium won’t be quite the same as they are in the current stadium, there is one consolation: The sightlines have to be better. In my seats this week, if ...

In our effort to provide the best coverage about the new stadium and what it all means to Yankee fans, I’d be remiss if I don’t point the way to two recent stories. Sandy Grossman, a one-time vendor at Shea and Yankee Stadium, a wrote an extensive profile of current Yankee Stadium vendors and what the move across the street may mean to those vets of the beer trade.

Yankee Stadium Hates Me

So this whole side trip to Yankee Stadium to watch the Twins next week is turning into a debacle greater than the Timberwolves front office.

My options are: Drive there: However parking has always been tough, and is even ...

Selig will miss Yankee Stadium

Posted 7/16/2008 on Extra Bases

NEW YORK - Commissioner Bud Selig is certainly an advocate of teams building new stadiums, but yesterday he took some time to reflect on how much he'll miss Yankee Stadium. July 30, 1949, my mother took me to my first game at Yankee Stadium on my 15th birthday. That started a long trail of memories. When I think back to all the things. I'm a kid sitting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin ...

Peter Gammons came on and said his favorite Yankee Stadium moment was Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. He said that in the seventh, Jeter turned to Boone and said, "it's always about this time, the seventh or eighth, when the ghosts come out." EXCEPT WHEN THEY DON'T.

I wrote a big article about it a few months ago. Remember? Robert was in New York City and joined me for this monster day, which started with the 2008 Futures Game at Yankee Stadium and ended with some Mets-Rockies action at Shea. Even ...

Yankee Stadium actually might suck

Posted 7/15/2008 on The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL.

So, here’s something I enjoyed: the New York Times pressed some All-Stars and got them to say discouraging things about the House that Ruth built. I enjoy this because I had to listen to Yankee Stadium get verbally jerked off last night to no end. I’m pretty sure Reggie Jackson is still blabbing about how being a True Yankee is the greatest thing on this here Earth. (Which, all ...

When the apartment buildings went up in the late 1920s, the top floors had uninterrupted views into Yankee Stadium. When the team and City of New York renovated the Stadium in the 1970s, some residents ...

Well it's official - the September 21st game at Yankee Stadium (the final game) will be a night game. I was going to take the boy. At his age there's no way he can stay awake until 11pm in a packed staidum (on a school night too).
