I\'m really pulling for a Yankee loss tonight to close Yankee Stadium AND clinch a playoff spot for the Red Sox.

It\'s weird but I\'ve felt very depressed over Yankee Stadium\'s final game. Yesterday I was locked into ESPNRadio for all the pre-game biz and when I got home I found myself watching a "meaningless" baseball game instead of SNF. Today I\'m reading article after article, looking at picture after picture, and it\'s sad. I\'ve never been a Yankee fan, but I was raised to love baseball. I feel a tremendous loss as a baseball lover. I guess in a way I feel older all of the sudden, and not in a good way.

That being said I can\'t even imagine what it\'s like for all of you true Yank fans. Even worse has to be the 75-year-old man who has spent his whole life bleeding Yankee blue, going to games, keeping score... someone who actually saw #7 glide across center field.

At least I got to catch (39% of) a game at Yankee Stadium when I was 8. Donny Baseball went walkoff yardsky to top the Orioles 1-0. Unfortunately for me I only saw the first 3.5 innings. Thank god my father divorced that biatch!

(Go Cubs.)

So, the New York Yankees will not be in the postseason for the first time since 1994, a year in which they had the best record in the American League up until the strike canceled the remainder of the season.

For the record, if the wild card existed in 1993, the Yankees would have made the playoffs that year, too. It\'s not a perfect certainty, since the schedules were different due to the two division format, but it\'s probably true.

I am looking forward to a Cubs-White Sox World Series or Dodgers-Angels World Series.

Deep down inside, I want to see the Rays take it all. Been playing solid baseball all season, I told plainandsimple at the beginning of the season to watch out for the Rays because of their youth.

Have no problem with the Rays taking it all.

Although desirable, I don\'t think either scenario is likely (Cubs-Sox, Dodgers-Angels). The Dodgers have to be considered the heavy-dogs to reach the Series, worst division in baseball by far and they still haven\'t sealed it.

If the Cubs don\'t get to the Series, I would also like to see the Rays win it. Especially if they don\'t sell out. It\'s time they move that franchise. The Marlins weren\'t enough to realize pro baseball doesn\'t mean **** in Florida?

well, for starters, yankee stadium is probably the most renowned stadium in all of sports.

and secondly, all those other teams still have games to play in their old stadiums, while the yankees have played their final game at yankee stadium.

I\'m on with the Rays. The larger the crowd the play in front of, the higher winning % they have.

Looks like they sold out the first two playoff games already.

True, they are all getting new stadiums, but when was the last time you heard anyone say the following:

- I really want to see Shea Stadium before it closes
- I really need to get to Giants Stadium before it close (for Giants fans)

I know that I don\'t speak for all Jets fans, but I\'m looking forward to getting rid of that place so that I don\'t need to hear Giants fans saying, "You don\'t see a Jets Stadium" or such things.  We will finally have a place that feels like our own and our own locker room.

But this Yankee Stadium is and will always be the most famous place that I have ever visited...period!

Uhhhh yeah. For obvious reasons home slice.

The only other two stadiums that will receive even comparable press will be Fenway and Wrigley when (or if) they get torn down. Baseball = oldest game with the oldest houses in American sports, the two stadiums previously mentioned remain the oldest which is correlated with them being two of the oldest teams, therefore most historically celebrated and/or renowned. Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field. That\'s thee short list that just got shorter. Sucks really.
