Well, Jenn, I agree with you, it was strange seeing that many empty seats for a Sox-Yanks game anywhere. But, the rain had something to do with it. Then you add in the seat prices. Only the Yankees could charge over six large for a seat to a ball game. What other stadium has a shopping mall and a custom butcher shop there as well. You can buy Manolo's and Gucci while you have a custom cut rack of lamb of filet cut and grilled for you. This isn't baseball; it's Steinbrenner Yankee bullshit! What's worse is having part of the stadium paid for with public funds, especially at a time when everything else worthwhile is financially suffering.
Great to see the Sox get back on track last night, between a decent six innings from Lester, Papi with two two-baggers (maybe he's coming back), and Bay and Lowell continuing to get those timely hits. Laser's tough 9th wasn't so much his fault as you imply. I still do not think even a part of Jeter's uniform was brushed by the ball, and the single was an infield hit. He had the heat when he needed it--I mean the way Cano's started the year, getting a K was great!
What a way t open the rivalry at the new stadium!
