Great post, Pete !
God bless George Steinbrenner and everything he has done for Yankee fans and for the team. I only hope that he can truly appreciate the beauty of all that he has created, including (since he wanted it) this beautiful new Stadium.
I feel deeply and passionately enough about him as an owner that I am going to risk the wrath of Pete by violating a few of his suggestions:
GEORGE STEINBRENNER, YOU ROCK!!!
was there any video/photos of the Boss at the Stadium on opening day or from the renaming of Legends Field?
God bless George
My god..Mike and the mad dog need to stop with this Joba Chamberlain stuff..lol
Hopefully the big Stein sees # 27 real soon and not in the new digs
Am I crazy or did McGowan kinda look like Glenn Danzig?
Man the place already looks incredible.
well said trisha
Hey can someone help me out, what is the average speed of major league starters fastballs in all of baseball? I have a little bet going on that I need to have settled. Thanks!
What?! That looks nothing like Stein.
I guess it’s just the glasses. He looks mafioso.
Come to think of it. I think the Yankees should have two statues in front of the new staduim. One of Jeter and the other of The Boss. Heck have Jeter holding a credit card and Stein Yelling. Like the commercial.
I walked passed it yesterday on my way to the game. It’s really remarkable. I always Park by the old Bronx Terminal Market and as I was walking up the new Ramp the built, I could see the “Yankee Stadium” and the two eagles. It’s pretty amazing. I remember when it just looked like a construction site, now it looks like a stadium. The pics online might be impressive, but in person it’s jaw dropping.
I got to admit Suzyn Waldman almost like Mama Pinstripe made me bust out
I bet he was too senile to even know what he was looking at.
a nice sidenote about George. I was at a ST game at legends with a group of people, one of whom was a young kid with Cerebrel Palsy. This kids dad ends up catching a foul ball off Damon…made the kids night. After the game (it was a fireworks game, so most of the regulars left early) the kid and his dad decided to wait outside, just in case. George walks out, and signs the kids ball, then tells him to hold on, walks back inside, and gets a ball goose had just signed, and gave that to the kid too.
Also, the wrath of the new parking fee’s were felt last night. It cost me $17 to park. I got there in plenty of time and got to see my favorite waitress at Stan’s. She got me and my wife a table as always. She brought us our usual pre-game snacks (she remembered!) and then asked us about our winter while shouting through rock songs blasting.
That’s the first i’ve seen the daughter. not so easy on the eyes.
5-2 CWS over DET in the third.
wsr,
nice read.
I agree S.A. Mike and maddog sound like complete idiots. I guess they can’t find anything to talk about.
After seeing that picture, I can’t blame Steve Swindal for drinking. Yikes.
Detroit will win this one! Write that on your foreheads!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this is Steven A. Smith’s last Friday show !!! HALLELUJAH !!!!
Mike and the Mad Dog get something and run and run and run with it. Enough with the Joba thing
what about K-Rod, he screams, pumps fists, and goes down to the ground for every save. Give me a break, get off the kids case. if it becomes a problem then you can talk about it, now its just a waste of breath. Talk about when the bats will wake up
He looks pretty good there. Hes standing up straight.. The picture gives the impression that hes walking fine, hes not moving around in a little golf cart or anything..
Brandon,
Is he out of radio? God i hope so. Fidays good though(beggers cant be choosers).
Anyone know how the weather is looking for tonight’s game?
Thursday is his last show he just announced it SoS !
his send off is April 10th 2008 and Missenelli is off the weekday shows THANK GOD !!!! next better be Steve Philips
to those who say they never had a problem wth K-Rod’s or Paplebaums antics as Yankee fans…………..I am next in line for the throne of England.
If you believe that, then I’ll believe you.
by the way mike and the mad dogs are complete morons, they always have been. i learned it’s best to just not listen to them.
Oh my gotta turn the radio off!!!!!! ya can’t watch the simulcast on YES either nooo! throw em outta the league!!!! (dog)
You just can’t watch that on YES or listen on the radio…ya can’t do it. can’t do it. (francesa)
90 percent chance of rain, both today and tomorrow.
Thanks Rebecca for the score update.
It would be great to see Detroit have a horrible April. It was amazing to see the pre-season love they got from everyone. They do have a great lineup when healthy. I think the Yankee lineup is deeper and more patient. I also think both the Sox and Yanks have a much deeper rotation in comparison. However when the media pointed to the Yanks and or Sox having rotation holes they never mentioned the Detroit void of good starting pitching.
Central vs East.
Yanks-Det Advantage Yanks
Sox-Cleve Slight advatage sox
Jays-WSox Huge advantage Jays
Rays-Twins: Too early to tell but I would say Twins(they always seem to competitive. If Kazmir was healthy it may change)
Birds-Royals Advantage Royals
I believe the East is the best division in baseball. I may believe something different on June 1st but right now I am sticking with it.
Have a good weekend.

The Boss looks a bit bewildered.
I posted this a couple topics back, but then realized I was falling behind, so I am pasting it here, going along with a couple of other posts:

We are through the first hour of mike and mad dog and it has been predominantly talk about joba and his fist pump. It is brutal.
Maybe we should ban all fist pumps… Tiger, no more fist pumps, you are making everyone else feel bad about themselves.
All professional sports players should be banned from showing any emotion, make them just walk around like zombies. That would be much more fun.
Hugh – only Papelsmear’s and I’ve already told you why. I really don’t care about stylin and fist pumps otherwise, no matter who does it.
CW
that big a chance for tomorrow too? damn. i’m going tomorrow…
Pudge just hit a two out, two-run double, then was singled in by Jacque Jones.
5 – 5, Tigers still batting in the bottom of the third.
Both Nate Robertson and Jose Contreras are getting bombed.
Dennis, agreed about the East being the best division. I think 4 out of 5 teams will finish above .500.
Brian,
Supposed to rain all morning but looks like it will be clear by game time. I’d expect a short delay though. Tonight there is very little chance that they play.
what is it w/ Russo and that Manhattan game somebody please call him on it and set him straight.
Anybody ever seen or can link to a picture of George’s wife?
As for his daughters looks, remember she is responsible for interior decorating the new stadium
sounds alright Patrick. I’ll be sure to bring my pinstriped poncho.
brian in looking at the hour by hour on weather.com looks like tomorrow will be ok rain to stop very latest by 1pm. I think they will get the game in. Will be there as well.The issue I have is if there is no game tonight (still not raining here in the city) will Kennedy pitch tomorrow or will they keep Pettite there.
AL East is easily the toughest division in baseball. Think of it like this: If the blue jays played in the NL, they’d probably win their division.
smilenyes-
She threw out (or at least attempted to throw out) the first pitch at the gamein tampa renaming the park. bet if you go the yes website they have video there of it
Jim Leyland said that his team looked old the first 3 games. Can it be that they just traded away their future young studs and the veterans are showing their age overnight?
Thanks gayle. I’ll check it out and report back
Wait. No more Screamin A. Smith on the radio? WooHoo!
Yeah, why is Russo obsessed with that Manhattan game? Jeez.
Can’t wait for the new stadium.
If these starters get out early in the Detroit game. You have to give the edge to Chicago in the bullpen.
Im going to miss Steven Smith talkin about Clemens wife for 2 months straight.
They showed the unveiling of the name but not the first pitch. Good suggestion though. Thanks again
smilineyes,
there is a picture of Mrs. Steinbrenner here:

Here we go.

thanks SA
No problem.
It’s good to see Steinbrenner out and looking healthy.
The new stadium looks absolutely gigantic from that picture. Wish I could take a look at it in person.
Despite the cloud cover, it’s been dry in midtown since 10 a.m., and the reports had called for scattered showers during the day. Who knows? Maybe they’ll get the game in….
It’s touching to see Steinbrenner walk around the new stadium, before the first fan, the first win, the first loss. It’s The Boss shrunk down to mortal size, certain he won’t see as many games in this Stadium as the last.
While it’s not a grim picture, for some reason seeing George led around by the arm in an unfinished stadium reminds me of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas yet to come.
Man, the Boss is aging fast. He has the appearance of someone who’s suffering cranial/circulation problems (strokes). Otherwise his color and posture seem pretty good.
its good to see the big man, he created an enterprise out of a baseball team…hope the kids can carry the franchise, so far they look more like characters in a reality show
God Bless You George!
ok, this picture cleary disproves my theory that all rich women are at least somewhat attractive.
Luke –
You can tell all that from this photograph? He just looks old to me. And actually, pretty good.
Some people I know went to the Stadium last night and it was the first time they’d seen the new Stadium up close. They were awed. One of them said to me, all you have to do is see it, and all the reservations you have about a new stadium disappear. They said in person it is truly majestic and the architectural details are fantastic. They were originally more on the nostalgic side – can’t get rid of the old girl, what do you need a new stadium for? They seem to be totally sold now!
If by “smart” you mean they know what buttons to push to get “debate” going and keep their ratings up and the calls coming in, then I would agree 100%.
Oops, that post belonged in the next thread!!!! Duh.
Wow, Big Stein has aged a lot in the past year and a half… and is it me or is George’s daughter kind of hot for a more mature woman?
