Enter Sandman

As I'm watching the last game at Yankee Stadium on ESPN (Disclosure: I'm a life long Red Sox fan), you can't help but get a little tingle watching Mo Rivera leave the bullpen to Enter Sandman. Its just an awesome and, if I was a player, pretty intimidating spectacle.

I've never been too fond of the Yankees, but I've been to the old Stadium in the Bronx enough to appreciate the history and importance of the building. From a baseball history perspective, I'm sorry to see it go. From a competitive perspective, I can't wait for them to tear the place down. Too many bad memories (but one spectacular one - Game 7, 2004 ALCS) I just don't look forward to the extra cash that the Yanks will rake in with the new stadium and how they will use it for their team.

The NYTimes posted a pretty cool panoramic of Yankee Stadium from last night. If you have a wide computer screen, be sure to enlarge the photo to full screen.

So tonight is the Yankees night. Enjoy the off season, watching the Red Sox in the playoffs.

This is a great local NY spot by Avis, tapping into the Yankees - Red Sox rivalry. It would be great if Avis did one from the Red Sox perspective to counter this one.

Now I am hardly a NY baseball fan, and the thought of both NY baseball teams getting new stadiums and lots more revenue opportunities does not sit well with me, but these are some amazing photos of the construction of the two new baseball stadiums here in the NY metro area.

Citi Field - NY Mets
New Yankee Stadium - NY Yankees

Its only 5 games into the season with 157 to go, but you have got to love the way the standings look these days. How's Johnny doing?
