"It ain't over 'til it's over!"
Sorry Yogi, But much like your picnic basket raids, and your ability to achieve an erection The Bronx Bombers tenure at legendary Yankee Stadium is officially over. Eliminated from the Playoffs just hours before the opening pitch, These loathing losers can do nothing but wait for the opening of the 1.3 Billion dollar "New" Yankee Stadium. With a yearly payroll that could have saved AIG and the Lehman Brothers, the 2008 New York Yankees set an all-time sports record as the highest spending team who failed to make the playoff. I don't think Fatty Steinbreinner is going to like that too much.
But from the rest of Major League Baseball and sport fans in general let me be the first to say "HAHAHA." But wait, Yankee fans at least you can take heart in knowing that in the 2009 season, it will cost you a paltry $2,500 to sit behind home plate at the new digs. And If you are a recently unemployed casualty of the recent Wall Street attack well, you can still watch in the nose bleeds for $75. I guess you need to pay for A-Rod's inability to be Mr. clutch somehow.
Useless and Untrue Factoid Alert!! With the loss of the 85 year old Yankee Stadium, the oldest active mainstay of professional sports will now be replaced with 84 year old Chris Chelios.
As a sports fan in general, it is sad to think that after all the history from the Bronx stadium. It will close with a whimper of a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Reggie Jackson, Mickie Mantle, Roger Maris, Derek Jeter--all leave with cementing themselves as legends of the ball park. Alex Rodriguez? His greatest Yankee Stadium moment revolves slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove like a little bitch.
