Pathetic.

“What’s sad is, watching Bruney walk in runs with the bases loaded proved more painful than freezing.”

I was in San Francisco for the last game (Sunday). Joe Torre brought out Clemens and he was SUPPOSED to shut down Bonds. It didn’t happen.

I agree with your summation of AT&T – it is very cool. I took my family to the game instead of having a bachelor/bachelorette party. We had a wonderful time. I didn’t have to endure the little ankle biters (a la Dodger Stadium) chanting “Yankees suck!” The Giants fans were very nice. It was one of my best visitor stadiums.

I didn’t get much love when I lived in Chicago. My experience with the White Sox “fans” was they just wanted to play drinking games. I feared for my life riding the “L” after the game – and we won! We drove to the stadium after that.

OAKLAND: Pete nailed it, sad to say. It has nothing to do with where the ballpark is (rough area) or Mount Davis in center field that blocks what would otherwise be a nice view out of the stadium. It’s the fear for all you’ve ever loved — namely, your family, your friends, your unborn children and your own a$$ — when dealing with Oakland “fans.” Don’t forget that this is the Raiders crew dressed in A’s gear. I went to three games up there — a three-game A’s sweep, no less, when Giambi was still an A and punctuated the Sunday game with a walk-off HR — and I feared for my safety at all times. I wore a Yankee shirt all three days and was threatened every day. Not heckled, where you get everywhere, but threatened for real by drunken 20-somethings and worse. It’s just a terrible place to go for a Yankee fan, at least one going with family and not friends looking for a fight. Then it might be cool.

ANAHEIM: It ain’t the greatest, honestly, but it’s worlds better than Oaktown. It’s getting harder and harder to get tickets because the bandwagon’s enjoying the nice ride at the Big A. The fans are generally stupid in terms of baseball knowledge and decorum, but generally harmless too. I cheer for the Yanks and they respect it. The ballpark’s not near all that much, honestly, but you can stay at the Anaheim Hilton and walk to the park, which is cool. And the beach isn’t that far away. The monkey gets a little old after a while, but then again, they wouldn’t call on it if the damn thing didn’t bite the Yanks every time they play there.

SAN DIEGO: This is from the ’98 World Series, mind you, so it’s still from Qualcomm, aka The Murph. That place was a weird spot for a baseball game. San Diego rocks, though. The Padres fans, well, they were an interesting bunch. Drunks, all of ‘em, but fun California drunks. They acted dumb a lot of the time, but mostly in an entertaining way. The crowning moment of this experience was sitting in the upper deck seats in CF as Game 4 (and the Yanks’ sweep) was winding down, when a toasted SD fan blurted out, “I’d rather lose in San Diego than win in New York.” Is that right? Awesome, because that’s just what you got. Be sure to check your surfboard at the door before you come inside to visit the Yanks’ World Series trophy.

SAN FRANCISCO: This stadium rocks. It really does. The fans were cool, the sights were cool, the food was cool, the area is cool. Cool cool cool, all around. The Yanks put on quite the dismal show there last year, but you feel so mellow at this place that you just don’t mind as much as when you’re dodging flying plastic beer bottles walking out of the Oakland stadium. One caveat: if you sit in the last row of the upper deck, as I did, bring a sweatshirt unless you enjoy the bay breeze whipping through your freezing skin for three hours. What’s sad is, watching Bruney walk in runs with the bases loaded proved more painful than freezing.

If in Baltimore, lots of cool bars in Fells Point and Canton. Not to mention the former set of “Homicide, Life on the Streets”, IMO the best cop drama ever on network TV.

I’d vote for Camden Yards anytime.

Your damn right… owned.

if that’s what’s happening, just do something different like putting cross handed or use a long putter. now if you’re just missing because you are choking like a dog , i don’t know what to say except to remember that putting is a pretty silly athletic event .

you take two athletic shots to go 400 yards and then use up two silly little strokes to go 20 feet and make the ball go into a little hole in the ground.. actually i do have another suggestion. if you have trouble from two feet , lay up to three feet.

hey for a red sox fan , it;’s the least i can do.

Youkilis certainly pouts/whines too much for my taste, Papi thinks all strike calls are wrong, Manny admires HRs (and double and F8s, for that matter). I’ll defend none of it.

But when Joba fits into one of these categories, “it is what it is.” Dellucci is a veteran player, was in MLB when Joba was in grammar school. Joba (3 months service time)dissed him, plain and simple.

Jon Lester never COULD throw strikes. It’s not the “yips”, it’s the kind of pitcher he has always been.

Look, if Joba get Steve Blass disease (a la knoblauch), I don’t know if anything would help him. But…really, I feel like dealing with the emotional side of failure is not going to be any more difficult for him than it is for anyone else.
