Yanqui No Home!

The beast is finally slain.
Yankee Stadium is over.
That big hideous foul territory is now a thing of the past, as is THE Monument Park, and all other vestiges of the House That Ruth Built. Thank fucking god.

Gotta suck to be a Mets fan. Can't really see that magnitude of National kiss-ass with Shea. Same for the Tigers. No one seemed to give a shit when that tomb bit the dust. Old Comiskey? Riverfront? Candlestick...Qualcomm?

The quote I hope they play on a loop:
"These fans never seem to amaze me."

Annual Fan Depreciation Day in Miami

So now this is an annual event? If you dig only slightly through the site you'll see photographic evidence of tremendously bad attendance for a late-season Marlins game in '07.
