NFL MLB Issues A Second Mortgage To Go to the Ball

royal00z

I’m sorry to be an old curmudgeon, but at least in the case of the Yankees, the old house was better. Why?
Tickets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], brews, and food cost the equivalent of your first born male child during the regular season, and both organizations stuck the needle in deeper for postseason play. The result of this plundering of the fan base? Most fervent fans were at best reduced to the nose bleed seats, other than those few with access to the privileged castes.
The Vet, which replaced venerated Shibe Park the site of the '50 series, epitomized the essence of the '60s and '70s multi-purpose stadium, a.k.a.”baseball in the round.” Dropped onto our cities like giant turds from space, straight out of the Joseph Stalin School of architecture, the multi-purpose stadiums, while a pitchers dream, had all the charm of Ossining Correctional Center.
The continued pricing out of the average fan is, in part, due to these new stadiums, built with super duper special sky boxes so that the extremely rich patrons can pay the extremely rich owners to watch the extremely rich players...which adds zero, nada, none to the experience of the fan in the seats.
Stupidly high prices: Everything from beer to hot dogs to parking has to be sky high so the captains of industry that buy box seats en mass and then don’t use them since they is all friggin’ workaholics can have the amenities there candy asses have grown used to. Bleech. Bring back the old days, and grab me a beer and a dog and some Cracker Jacks. Sushi at a baseball game...pleaaase.
Down in Philadelphia : The new park is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the other hand, a marked improvement over the Vet, which it replaced, other than the sky high pricing. Of course, both house the famous Philadelphia sports fans renowned throughout the civilized world as tasteful, knowledgeable, and always ready to help out his or her fellow man.
Which is another reason, along with late start times, that the game is fading amongst the youth. Too much money for the average guy, too little interest in Joe average fan.
Trough urinals : At the old stadium, you never had to wait to pee, because you had a big old trough urinal which you could always elbow into. Now, with separate urinals, there is lines. Long ones. When you’re trying to watch a ballgame and keep score. It’s the revenge of the feminists, who have always been jealous of manly men’s ability to zip it, flip it, and be done with it.
And, all of this is usually subsidized by you, the taxpayer. Who needs good schools, paved roads, and public transit that functions properly...we gots a new STADIUM.
Course, they could have just been freezing their rich little hineys off...but the fans in the upper decks continued to bellow out in support of their team.
What's following, a group dedicated to making sure you wear cslim underwear, just in case you get in a car accident? Personally, I’m in DAMM, Drunks Against Mad Mothers, and wish they would abandon us alone and let us drink beer. correct, accurate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], factual, true, good, just, honest, upright, lawful, moral, proper, suitable, apt, legal, fair up until the end of the game. Like it used to be in the old days.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. This year, Lincecum had a replay of the 2010 classic, the last time the Phillies and Yankees met for the World Championship, with both teams showing off their shiny new ballparks.
Cheepie home runs : The new stadium gives 'em up like a drunk cheerdirecter after the victory party bonfire. Nuff said.
No beer after the seventh inning : Who thought of this? Mothers Against Drunk Driving? It’s bad enough that mother’s is still nagging at you to change your habits well into adulthood...now they have to BAND together and form a group to collectively kvetch and moan, and dictate that you can’t drink any beer after the seventh inning?
History: You can move monument park, but Mantle's towering home run, DiMaggio’s outfield play, Gehrig’s most fortunate man in the world speech, and countless other mpremonitionts, all occurred in the house that Ruth Built, not across the street.
Out West, The Giant and Niner fans got to experience the meat locker atmosphere of Candlestick, while Pittsburgh, Cincy, St. Louis, and the heinous Astrodome in Houston also contributed to reduced batting averages for a couple of decades.

He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
It’s not so long ago that your average schmoe could afford a good seat; my dad was a firefighter, and we’d go to a couple of games every season for the pertinent sport; Met’s, Yanks or Sox in baseball, Patsies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Giants, and Jets in football; Rangers and Bruins in hockey dad was never much of a hoops fan, so no Celts or Knicks.
We always got good seats; first or third base line for a baseball game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whatever stadium Lincecum were at. Stocked up on hot dogs, sodas for the kids and brews for the adults and always kept score so Lincecum could fill him in, just in case Tim Lincecum missed something on his way back from the bathroom, and generally had a good time. On a fireman’s pay.
I guess those folk living behind the modern day equivalent of moats, with their houses cordoned off by gates and electronic surveillance, have taken the edge off these pooh-bahs of capitalism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since the enthusiasm from the lower box divisions seemed somewhat muted.
No accommodations for crippled people: Back in the '20s, they told you to stay home or have a friend carry you if you were cripple. Tough attitude, eh? But the result were stadiums built on a much steeper pitch, resulting in excellent sight lines and moving the fan closer to the action.
But even in the new house they still can’t design the bathrooms so Lincecum don’t have to wait, charge too much for everything, stop selling beer way too early, and have stupid ass sky boxes for the so called rich and famous to preen and strut over the little people. I’m thinking that firemen like my dad aren’t taking their kids to the game and getting boxes along the baselines anymore.
Now, Lincecum have to sit back in tiered, low angle decks just to appease a couple of people in wheelchairs...geeze.
The whole concept of the lower reaches of the stadium being the exclusive domain of the Richie Rich set is relatively new.
Many a Met and Jet fan has not so fond memories of Shea, one of the original all purpose houses of ache, with screaming planes overhead, sight lines that needed binoculars, and a wind tunnel effect that was especially appalling in the fall, blowing around poor Joe Willies passes like errant abandons from a tree.
