Until A-Fraud fails a drug test. The human syringe and the Skankees perfect together.

Over $1.0 bln in salary over the last 4 years and no titles.

I still say that the Babe's ghost is *really* pissed off at this new Yankee Stadium ... its as if (as one NY sports-scribe put it) building a replica of the Eiffel Tower or the Great Pyramids in the middle of Vegas ... and the thing is, the *new* Yankee Stadium grandstand looks NOTHING like the original, other than the upper Facade ......

And I'm a die hard Yankee fan too!

OK ... /rant off :)

Any REAL baseball fan hates what the Yankees represent and therefore the Yankess.

Shut up.

Thanks for the intelligent and mature contribution.

I get the impression you don’t know the first thing about baseball and can’t differentiate between a small-market team and a team with greedy owners who do nothing to improve their ballclubs.

All that hate is gonna eat you up. Lecturing others about what constitutes a real baseball fan just makes you look, well....stupid.

I suggest you chill.
