PrintBaltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 21, 2008 8:25 PM EDT
THE final game at Yankee Stadium. Ever. Period. Tonight, at 8:05, on ESPN.
I suppose it's rather fitting that a tired, aging, worn-out Andy Pettitte will close the show at Yankee Stadium. Like the team he represents, he was once a reliable October staple, a big-game pitcher that made his presence felt in crunch time. The Yankees are out of gas. Pettitte appears to be, though he keeps going out there and doing what he can.
While Joe Torre's Dodgers head to the playoffs, Joe Girardi's Yankees limp home.
Enjoy the game -- seriously. It IS Yankee Stadium, love it or hate it.

Would love the O's to be the last team to win at that shit hole
If CW pitches one more great game then he’s given us all we can ask for.

Pros:
Waters is on his game lately
Pettite is off his game lately
Cons:
It is Sunday. Sundays are Oriole Kryptonite
Probably wont be much Os support in the stands
Pettite has done pretty well vs Os this year
I’m real curious about the O’s lineup today. Who gets to play?
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
too bad the yankees are better than the dodgers
Oh well. Whatever.
Oh, and Pettite hasn’t just done well against the O’s this year. He kills the O’s for his career, doesn’t he?
Not since Manny showed up
Check the record post Man-Ram.

You're assuming...
we have a real starting pitcher available.

Razor is starting.
And Chris Waters is the closest thing to a real starter we have that can go tonight.

Fuck Off!
Respectfully yours …

Watching the pregame ceremonies on ESPN2
I think David Wells was drunk off his ass running onto the field.

8:15 first pitch, apparently
ESPN needs to show football highlights that have been 6 times already first.

so just out of curiosity, as I've just turned the "festivities" on....
…has there been any mention whatsoever of the Orioles?
Not that I expect it….not that the O’s even deserve it….but I’m just curious
Not so much.
Too bad, considering the Yankees owe their vast wealth to a Baltimore kid.

The Ravens game was fun.
People love Flacco and early on Heap was hearing the boo birds.

Wanted to watch it
but both CBS stations that I get are PA-based, so it was Pittsburgh-Philly for me…

I feel your pain
I live in MoCo and get the same trash, the only way that I can see the game is either a sports bar or actually going.

As do I
But I just feel that CBS would get more viewers showing the Ravens games rather than an Eagles/Steelers game.

I wish this game was on ESPN and MASN
so that I could escape the Yankee Stadium love fest for a few minutes if need be.

I'd prefer Juan Castro
Because that would be hilarious.

Oh for the love of God, stop paying attention to the idiots in the bleachers.
They’re pretty much the epitome of Yankee “fan” dumbassery.

I didn't know they still did that.
The last time I thought that I’d heard that happen was in 2001 or something; I guess I haven’t been paying enough attention.

how appropriate..
baltimore orioles became the new york yankees and now we’re playin em in their last game in their stupid historic legendary stadium.
hope we crush em.
I hope that this ends in a rain out.

Theoretically
They wouldn’t resume the game as neither team is in contention.

I was at the game yesterday
And before the game John Sterling was up on the big screen and he referred to Yankee Stadium as “the most important sports venue in the history of the world.” NO JOKE. I laughed my ass off and we spent the rest of the game referring to everything Yankee related as the most important whatever in the history of the world.

throw out jeter in his last game at yankee stadium.
that too, would be funny.
Nice inning, Waters.
Keep it up

contractually obligated not to mention any player who is not a Yankee.

And mispronounced Trembley.

The great American lager?
Hasn’t the Belgian buy-out already taken place?
Over 500 feet to straight away center field in the old yankee stadium...
that’s ridiculous.
if you hit a home run out that way
you earned it.

I won't even mention it, due to superstition....
but if things keep going this way, Chris Waters would provide a hilarious (and certainly historic) end to this stadium.
Why does every network feel the need to show interviews in the booth
during the frigging game?

hahaha
this yogi and whitey interview is great though..
This must be on five minute delay
Yogi comes close to saying shit every other sentence.

Mystique and Aura are up.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
Y'all having fun in the Toliet?
Kill the MFY, please.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
My 2 cents on Yankee Stadium.
There’s a reason they’re getting rid of this place. It’s because it sucks. The place is a dump and it’s been that way at least since the disastrous renovation and probably earlier for all I know. You don’t see anybody tearing down Wrigley or Fenway do you? Yankee Stadium is an awful place to see a game and despite all the pomp, virtually everyone you see in that stadium tonight will be much happier in their new digs next door.
Besides the fact that it's still in the Bronx.
I’d rather not get knifed on my way to/from the game.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Honestly
It’s not as bad around there as it used to be. But thanks for perpetuating an uninformed stereotype.
You're welcome.
The fact I would be wearing a Sox hat and shirt would add to my chances.

As tempting as assaulting a 15 year old Red Sox fan is
It’s not worth going to jail.

Proportionally crime is not relevant in NYC when speaking comparativly.

You'd be in the DC 'burbs, most likely.
Avoid the area around Nationals Park and you’ll be fine, usually.

Only been once, and the Smithsonian closed as we walked up to it. Damn scheduling.

You don’t give up home runs to Molinas.

That one of the Molina’s gets the last homer at the Stadium, that would be anticlimactic.

To actually posses a voice like that.

I was in the md all state choir in high school
obviously he’s quite better than I was but performing is definitely a lot of fun and I don’t think I could imagine doing it at Yankee Stadium
I wouldn't be able to do it
I’d imagine my voice wavering and psych myself out.

It is actually absurd
They are seriously talking about ARod having a terrible season and he is hitting .304/.393/.581.

My god
Fahey is such a fucking idiot.
BTW, I am enjoying this Yankees vs. OPPONENT broadcast on ESPN
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
2 things that i took away from tonight
1. Brandon Fahey is the clear favorite for the starting shortstop job next season, for his county’s local high school.
2. According to Joe Morgan, when Derek Jeter swung and missed at a fastball from Cormier, its b/c he’s hurt, he didnt just miss it or swing late, he wouldn’t do that in a yankee uniform on hte last game.
Can’t wait till this is all over…
Earl:"I'm going back to the dugout to check my rule-book!" Umpire:"Earl, I have one right here." Earl:"That's no good, I don't read Braille."
umm
1. Brandon Fahey is the clear favorite for the starting shortstop job next season, for his county’s local high school.
more like the under 10s

Brandon Fahey
Honestly needs to get off the field.

as the 50,000,000th fan... I'm willing to...
spend money to make sure that brandon fahey never suits up again in an oriole uniform
Earl:"I'm going back to the dugout to check my rule-book!" Umpire:"Earl, I have one right here." Earl:"That's no good, I don't read Braille."
If they don't release him this winter
It will be a travesty to the franchise; the guy obviously has no future an yet he stills gets playing time on a regular basis. At this point, I would rather see the likes of Bynum at SS to be honest.

Earl:"I'm going back to the dugout to check my rule-book!" Umpire:"Earl, I have one right here." Earl:"That's no good, I don't read Braille."
The whole thing is kind of weird
They are celebrating as if they just won the ALDS or something. It feels all together strange to me and this is kind of the substitute for their post season.

I'd rather see the likes of Bernie

He should do a lap around the field after the game
Like Cal did.

I think the worst part of this game
Besides Fahey, of course, was the handjobs that Joe Morgan was giving to Reggie Jackson. Like come on Joe, Reggie doesn’t need any help promoting himself
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
I mean "were"
Sorry if I sound like I come from Frederick
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
Reggie
Still hasn’t lost that pompous asshole touch and Joe Morgan was shoveling praise into his mouth.

If you're asking if I'm personally 60
Of course not, but I used to live in Manhattan and on the MSG channel they would show entire Yankee postseasons and then the interviews immediately following the games.

no, I meant Reggie
On the broadcast tonight the thing that most annoyed me about him was his “playful” whining about Mantle talking about how much Reggie struck out, and not how many home runs he hit. Hey Reggie, you were maybe 1/3 the player Mantle was. Grow up.

But there are police and photographers creating a human wall between the players and fans.
