Shell-shocked, but not blind

I have lots to say about the new Yankee Stadium, but it boils down to the follow:

If there is a God, he'll prove his existence by going Sodom and Gomorrah on it. Seriously, I'll avert my eyes, as will every sane Yankees fan. The rest of you jerk can turn to huge piles of salt ... looking at you Little Steinbrenners.

Chien-Ming Wang, if he isn't curled up in a ball in his locker, should sue the architects of this joint.

Remember the good ole days when Fly balls to right and left center would happily land in Bernie Williams' glove? Now they land 20 rows back ... in the only seats people can afford ... have you noticed the seats near home plate and baselines are spotted with fans and outfield and upper levels are jammed? I have.

Who puts a glass-enclosed bar in dead centerfield? Don't tell me it isn't distracting. Jorge Posada already asked that some concrete be painted out there. There was a very good reason that entire section in the old place was blocked off and painted black. But wait, that space wasn't doing anything but helping batters see ... it wasn't selling booze and food ... except, the Mohegan Sun bar doesn't appear to be doing that either. Unless you can sell concessions to tumble weeds and very bored looking employees. But that may be fear ...

After the absolute drubbing the Injuns hung on the Yanks, you couldn't escape the highlights reels. Historic, brutal, you'll never see this again ... Fine, I get it.

Skip ahead to the next day and AJ Burnett gives up three hits, two homeruns, shocker, and three runs in 7 innings. Another great start. He left trailing and Yanks scratched out a run, then got a huge pinch-hit blast, complete with controversy, to take the lead. They piled on an excuse-me double from no-hittin' Cody Ransom with the bases choked and sealed the game.

I watched SportsCenter for 30 minutes and didn't get a sniff of those highlights. The show even did a Major League roundup and conveniently left out the Yanks righting the ship, sort of. Then, when the Yanks finally came around, the game highlights were prefaced with? You guessed it ... images from the previous day. Makes sense.

Yankees hating is alive and well and painfully obvious.
