Since I recently posted frustration with the Yankees, I thought it only appropriate that I balance the scales and brag about them as they are currently destroying Boston in what is looking like the Boston Massacre of 1978.

Most people have turned to make Boston the beloved team and the Yankees the team to hate after the unfortunate events of 2004. However, it appears that the Yankees are showing the legend again and have pulled ahead into more than a six game lead over the BoSox. Today the Yankees finished the sweep of Boston in a five game series for the fifth time in history. History has once again been rewritten since it last happened in 1943.

So I need to publicly state some turmoil that I am feeling over my favorite baseball team. As those close to me know I am a huge Yankee fan (and have been since I was a kid–so back off). However, the recent events with the organization have left me feeling kind of sad.

If you haven’t heard, the Yanks are building a new stadium just north of the current stadium for 1.2 billion dollars. I should be very happy about this since it will probably be one of the most amazing, state-of-the-art stadiums that has ever been built. Unfortunately, I feel like it is yet another example of Steinbrenner thinking of money over the actual sport itself and the lore of the franchise.

I have three years to enjoy the current stadium before history will be re-made and Babe Ruth will be one step closer to being forgotten. I wonder if the new stadium will be able to keep up with the legend of the Yankees or if it will feel like any other current day money ploy. I guess I’ll just have to deal with it like everyone else. So for now I say goodbye old friend.
