bbb Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have seen hundreds of games at Yankee Stadium and the new stadium sucks! My favorite seat would be the $6 dollar general admission bleacher seat that went on sale at 4 the day of the game- and if you were lucky you could catch a double header for that $6. That place was electric! The energy was incredible! The new place kind of looks like the old stadium, it is more sanitized and corporate friendly, but it has no soul. They ruined Yankee Stadium. It is all about money. 2 shots Jagermeister, 2 Heinekens at Hard Rock inside the new park- $48! Greedy mother!@#$ers have ruined one of the all time great stadiums. I want my $6 seat back in a real stadium That article is spot on This is an excellent post. You sum it up perfectly - sanitized version of the real Yankee Stadium - with no soul.

Ramius Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The reason it was a crappy series? The Tigers had the 7th best record in the AL. A largely unworthy opponent that caught a lucky streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 All oakland No, it was all Mother Nature. And yes Nanker I remember it well We were living in LA at the time. My wife and I are big baseball fans and we just got home and turned it on. Al Michaels was talking and then in the middle of what he was saying the feed was lost. It came back briefly with the audio only and the crowd was going nuts and then the audio was lost. I looked at my wife and said "earthquake?!?!" This was before we had internet or 24/7 news so I turned on the radio and got the news of the earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 i am calling bull crap...sure the record may be as you said, but the talent level on detroit was superior....detroit B word slapped the most storied franchise in baseball and there was no reason to doubt they wouldn't do that to the NL opponent...but no one decided to tell that to SF....baseball is that kind of game, a great one....it wasn't a crappy series, it was a great display of baseball from a dominant team The reason it was a crappy series?

I had just gotten home from the grocery store . I too got the news on the radio in my car. Sister in law lived in Cupertino at the time and a former work bud lived in Salinas.

The Giants have the formula for winning playoff baseball. They get great starting pitching, excellent defense strong bullpen & timely hitting. It also seems like an average guy or 2 in their lineup steps up huge in the post season. Sandoval did it this year(guy had 12 HRs all year yet hit 6 in the postseason). I remember in 2010 noone could get Cody Ross out in the postseason after he was marginally average for most of the season. As far as Detroit they went off at -170 to win the World Series so obviously someone they were pretty talented. I said before the series started that Detroit needed to win the games Verlander pitched & hope for the best in the other games. When he got bitchslapped in game 1 I knew this series was going to be an uphill climb for Detroit. I did not think they would of been swept. A's/SF would of been a more interesting series.
