Official New York Yankees Bleacher Creatures Team Thread

[ehh]

This could be pretty nutty over the next 10 years for the stadiums in NY. It's been 36 years since NY has seen a new stadium, it'd be nice to get some of the state of the art stuff I've seen at other stadiums.

I'm not really that shook up over the Yanks getting a new stadium since they're going to leave the current one standing and not knock it down. I've seen close to a hundred games there and had my fill. And it's just a shell of the stadium that Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio once played on. I think it'll be awesome if they recreat the new one to look just like the original Yankee Stadium, with the white-fence facade thing going all across the top of the stadium.

Either way, I'm as excited for this as I am about the one in Manhattan.


EDIT: Eli, from what I've heard, guesses range from 2009-2011.

When I lived in NY, I'd hear him all the time... On WFAN, then you'd hear him on ESPN 1050 when they launched... I generally didn't listen to NY sports talk too much, so I'd listen to ESPN or Sporting News over the internet.... Then I'd hear him there, too... I'd be like "Can I just not hear this dude for a little while?!?" But I am sorry to hear he was going through serious health issues... I genuinely hope everything is all right with him.

Kinda reminds me of Doris from Rego Park, she was a regular caller on the sports shows. Anyhow, she had this really persistent cough, and I had to admit, it wore on me after awhile and got annoying. Sadly, she passed away a couple years ago, and they mentioned her on the radio and even in the newspaper. I felt like a complete tool for complaining to myself about her cough...

You can't win a ****ing game only getting 4 hits.

1 win in the last 9 games while playing the Royals, Brewers and Twins is un****ing acceptable. Once again, Johnson looked average at best. Atleast he got a few more strikeouts but thats expected against Milwaukee.

If the Yankees lose the series to the Brewers, I expect a move to be made for some kind of pitching within the next week.

Looking back, I wish the Yanks had made some kind of move to get Latroy Hawkins. That would have been quite an improvement for the relief pitching.

Maybe they should try moving arod back to the #2 slot to jumpstart that offense.. atleast he gets on base unlike matsui there.

I hear Wright is coming back soon...wonder whose gonna be the odd man out, most likely Wang right? what ya think

[elicoleman]

The likely choice would be Wang but compared to Pavano, Brown, Mussina and RJ...he's looked golden.

[Stu]

You'd think Wright would be the odd man out with his 9.15 ERA and 2.29 WHIP. I still can't believe they signed him instead of resigning Lieber.

Can't make any moves when your system is barren. Wang and Cano are about the only young guys they could get a player of value with. That and not many teams are looking to deal at the moment.
