I don’t know if I should laugh at Yankee fans, scratch my head over them or just plain cry. We have played a grand total of 25 games and people are tossing the season aside …a whopping 3 games out of first place on May 5th..WOW !!! I have to say that Yankee fans are the most fickled in the world …if we got a hit last night the same people moaning about the season would be declaring how we are all heart, how we are going to the World Series, how great this team is…the Red Sox usually have our number in the beginning of the season for some strange reason but then we win in the latter part..hopefully we keep true to form.<br /><br />I wish folks would give it a break …be a fan…get behind the team and stop with the whining after every single loss. Are they expected to win EVERY game ?? It’s early in the season..not the final week.<br /><br />As far as the Stadium ...I miss the old one but I will get use to this one faster than I thought. I've tried a few different foods ...some better than others ...high prices but not much different from most places in New York. I go to about 40 games a season so most times I just buy a nice big hero at the deli on 161st along with a snack and drink for about $10.00. Unlike Lisa I think the new place is beautiful with a feel of the old place. The only thing I'm not that fond of is Monument Park...too much like a mausoleum. I have found staff to be very helpful and pleasant and I've been there for seven games so far this season. I have seats in the upper deck and the view is terrific. As with any new home it takes time to get use to it. <br /><br />I guess I just don't like to whine and complain about everything and just let the season unfold...it takes 162 games to accomplish that and I hope the Yankees do it with a 27th Championship. <br /><br />Peggy <br /><br />Go Yankees 2009 !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-89066245808095076332009-05-05T12:20:00.000-04:002009-05-05T12:20:00.000-04:00Hey Paul,

At least they showed some life in the second period.NAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-60924566453467298972009-05-05T11:26:00.000-04:002009-05-05T11:26:00.000-04:00I was wondering how long you'd last - good for you...I was wondering how long you'd last - good for you for sticking it out! I, too, thought the Yankees were going to pull out a victory and was just as convinced it was going to be Teixeira so I flipped the channel and checked online. If I'm going to lose sleep its not going to be to see him have his "true Yankee" moment as you called it. Paplebon has been laboring this year - not sure why 5 outs was such a good idea. <br /><br />Heard your bit on Baseball Honeymoon - nicely done!<br /><br />NAM - Ugh is right! We seem to be the only team they can beat so I guess I'll have to stick with watching Bs and Cs since all three teams play at about the exact same time on Friday and Sunday nights.<br /><br />Cheers everyone!Paul from Bostonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-85603414403674751032009-05-05T10:51:00.000-04:002009-05-05T10:51:00.000-04:00Lisa,

I was forutnate to be home in bed and could not keep my eyes open for the bottom of the ninth. I woke up once to see that there were two on and one out and had to check the score on ESPN bottom line when I woke up again around 4:00 a.m. I just realized it's only a two game series and the Sox have to face the Rays again this weekend. Ugh!NAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-20847268740485469162009-05-05T10:38:00.000-04:002009-05-05T10:38:00.000-04:00Lisa, I loved the Avedon line!

It takes a true fan to withstand crappy weather, crappy food, a near-comeback and not getting home until after 3 am! <br /><br />I'm headed to the new stadium Wednesday, not for a game unfortunately, but for my niece's NYU graduation. But I'm excited nonetheless, looking forward to seeing it!<br /><br />CindyRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
