Done.

I thought this was interesting:

Sox/Yanks tonight!

Hopefully there'll be some changes in those standings above coming shortly!

m&m fkan · 06-10-2009, 08:13 PM

I see that there was a great change in the standings....

missy7280 · 06-11-2009, 12:51 PM

Wow, the AL East is going to be a great race to the finish, I can see.

Uh Blah · 06-11-2009, 01:20 PM

I'll update the opening post after tonight when the Sox retake sole posession of 1st.

m&m fkan · 06-11-2009, 05:57 PM

they DID. last night...the Yankees are a game behind, now.

Uh Blah · 06-12-2009, 06:10 AM

Yeah lol but last night they avoided being tied again.

got a broom anyone?

**-Bianca-** · 06-12-2009, 08:03 PM

The Red Sox are better than they are right now. We'll see at the end of the year though.

I <3 the Mets and Luis Castillo.

I don't know which stadium is worse the new Yankees' or the Phillies park, but both are pathetically short!

Totally agreed! That play was hilarious!

It was karmic payback for the 2003 WS hit from him, as far as I was concerned.

Yankee Stadium is pretty much the same size as the old one though and the playing field is actually larger than most every other home field.

It's the weird wind patterns + the height of the structure that screw everything up (who thinks about those things when they're building a gorgeous $1.5 billion ball park?

).

You think it's gorgeous? I think it's kind of...blah...

**-Bianca-** · 06-15-2009, 06:49 PM

It's absolutely beautiful, IMO -- it turned out much, much better looking than most of the models they advertised. I haven't encountered many folks who argue against how aesthetically pleasing it is, honestly.

The problems [with it] are the prices (which have removed a lot of the crowd that made the home atmosphere the best in baseball and created a caste system of sorts -- thanks Lonn Trost!) and the HR, neither of which they can correct this season, but will have to in the offseason, one way or another.

**JustMe2000** · 06-15-2009, 07:40 PM

Anyone watching the Brewers/Indians game on ESPN? It's 14-12 heading into the bottom of the 8th, after Prince Fielder hit a grand slam to put Milwaukee ahead. Crazy game.
