Sorry Dan, I should have read the whole thread. As usual you prove to be a class act. |

I'm not sure how anyone can hate Derek Jeter. I've tried and I just can't do it. |

Life is too short to waste a good emotion like HATE on a baseball team. A lot of folks seem to forget the Yankees were terrible during the Mattingly years.. perhaps they are on the verget of another. Just like a lot of things, the Yankees have their ups and downs and have plenty of bad eras.. they are not the evil doers that so many claim they are.. marty |

I agree it is silly to hate a team; I merely find them uninteresting (although I do expect a lot of high scoring games at the new stadium). |

I just wish every team would finish with an 81-81 record and be equally liked and admired by every fan. That's the way it should be, but I don't know. I suppose there's hope a law could be passed ... |

The Yanks weren't terrible during the Mattingly years. They were only bad for three or four years when Mattingly's back was deteriorating and the Yankees foolishly let Rickey Henderson get away (among other bad moves). |

Energetically hating a team is fairly pointless, but there's nothing wrong with rooting against a team. The word "hate" when used in a message board context, and especially a sports context should rarely be taken literally. Saying "I hate the Yankees" on a board usually just means somebody roots against them, not that they have a small shrine in their house with burning candles where they place hexes on Derek Jeter. |

If I've spent the money it's theirs to do with however they please. I don't consider money spent as being mine after the fact. Look at the Marlins owner... he pockets the Luxury Tax money he receives from the rest of the league. So there are 2 sides to that story. |

Thanks for sharing those stories. It's too bad you were denied looking over the field but let's be honest here... that low paid security guard was probably acting on his own and on a different day your experience may have been different. Not saying it's a fact but it's possible. |

I don't hate the team (well, maybe a player or two , just the owners and the organization. There are players on that team I like quite a bit. (I gave Posada a standing O on opening day--no one deserved to hit the first home run in that park more than him.) |

I was hoping they were going to turn it into a kids park. Would be quite fitting but I haven't heard what they are going to do with the property. It does stink to tear it down but time goes by and things change. Could have been worse... they could have moved to Manhattan. Just staying up there is a feat in itself. |

Well this is usually the time I jump in to defend Bruce not because he is right or because down deep he really is a good guy. I could care less what kind of a guy he is. What he does do is consistently posts the most interesting posts on Net 54 and alone is reason enough to check the board from time to time. |

Ticket prices totally ridiculous. Cutting those prices 25% would not have increased sales at all. Just think about it though if you have sold 1/2 your $1000 seats or cut the price to $500 and sell all the tickets you bring in the same amount of revenue (assuming you refund those who paid the higher prices initially). So essentially the only thing they've accomplished is filling the seats. I would be po'd regardless if i paid higher and now get seats i don't want for free or that they tried to take advantage of me to start with. Either way its a total cluster f. |

The greatest joy he has ever had is the Yankees (that is sad) and he hopes for the death of a poster on this board (that is more sad),,,, wow, sounds like a perfect candidate for that HBO shrink show. |
