Baltimore 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

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?

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?

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.

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.

Did that guy just say the Yankees won the 2001 Series?
Does that mean the 1997 Orioles won the ALCS, then?

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…

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.

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 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

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.

What's the point of doing a lap if they're not going to get within 50 feet of the stands at any given point?

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