If You Have Field Level Seats, Pay Attention

This is what you get if you spend your time at the Stadium not watching the game.

Yankee Fans are Starting to Really Sound Stupid

I know it's only a sampling, but the Yankee fans used as "representative" of the whole are making everyone else look dumb.
Bronx native and Yankee fan Jose Santos, 31, almost choked on his beer listening to Rodriguez's whines.

"Bring back the team from '96 with Scott Brosius and Chuck Knoblauch," said Santos, referring to the World Series champion Yankee team.

"These guys played with passion. There's no steroid for passion and fire."
Nobody tell the esteemed Mr. Santos that Knoblauch was in the fucking Mitchell report.

For that matter, no one tell Edmund Demarche or Jennifer Fermino - two (!) writers clearly gifted with sports knowledge needed to write an article with a couple of quotes in it and little else - because they didn't call him on it.

"You have people like Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter. Then you have A-Rod, who might break records but will always be attached to an asterisk," said the tourist from Puerto Rico.

I'm pretty sure Ruth and Aaron were clean, but there is nothing to suggest Jeter is clean. A week ago, people were saying exactly the same things about Rodriguez, and it's not like Jeter's teammates didn't include a number of users.

Thanks For Nothing, Andy

While the crowd was busy booing one player on the offense last night, they seem to have forgotten that Pettitte's pitching was the real reason that game was lost yesterday.

People still want to resign Andy for next year?

He's got a 4.24 ERA and an ERA+ of 97. Not awful, but below league average. Wouldn't that money be better spent (because you know he'd want at least $11M or so) to throw into a free agent like, say, CC Sabathia?

Mussina's been more effective, and he'd most likely be cheaper. I think he'd take less because he's hungry to win a ring before he retires.

Wang, Chamberlain, Mussina, Sabathia and Hughes? Could be the best five in the AL.

This is Why I'm Proposing on a Hot Air Balloon Over a Mountainous Region

I mean, there's no escaping the uncomfortable shootdown that way.

Of course, this dude had a different idea...

The biggest excitement happened in the stands when a fan failed in his public attempt at popping the question.

With the couple highlighted on the big screen, the mood soured after the man took a knee to offer an engagement ring. Wearing a brick-red replica Astros jersey, the woman appeared to angrily dump a bag of popcorn on the man before rushing up the stairs amid a chorus of boos.

After the top of the sixth, the man left amid cheers from the sympathetic crowd.

"If it was an act, she put on a good one," Garner said. "She looked totally surprised and then totally mad. We couldn't even get a proposal right down here tonight.

"We lead the league in marriage proposals, and we couldn't get that one right tonight."

When I was young I always wanted to marry a girl who would love baseball so much that she'd swoon at a ballgame proposal.

Since I've grown up, I've realized I still want the girl who loves baseball just as much, but also has enough taste to eschew the now tired and cliched ballpark proposal in favor of one more original and more personal and more tailored to the relationship as it has uniquely grown.

However, I'm still down for a ballgame on the honeymoon, possibly.

New York Highlanders

A-Rod: Sons of New York! I am Alex Rodriguez!
NY Fan: Alex Rodriguez is seven feet tall!
A-Rod: Yes, I've heard! Kills pitches by the hundreds! And if he were here, he'd consume the Red Sox with balls of fire from his eyes...and bolts of lightning from his arse! I AM Alex Rodriguez! And I see a whole army of my teammates, here in defiance of idiocy. You've come to watch as free fans, and free fans you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you cheer?
NY Fan #2: 'Cheer? For that?' 'No, we will boo, and we will set expectations ridiculously high.'
A-Rod: Aye, cheer and you may be disappointed. Boo, and you'll be honored by the media. At least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that...for one chance...just ONE CHANCE to come back here to tell your children that you cheered the best player of the 21st century?
