Opinion: Exclusive Interview with Jane Heller (Part 2)
JH: I was very sad during the closing ceremonies at the old Stadium, but as I wrote in the New York Times, it was a building. My memories are in my head. No matter where the Yankees play, I’ll always have them. So I’m looking forward to the new place with great anticipation. I just hope people can afford a ticket. Very pricey. S&P: How do you feel about Brian Cashman? Joe Girardi (now)? S&P: How will the 2009 Yankees do? JH: They’ll win their 27th championship, of course. Did...   [read the full post]

Rate Opinion: Hate Is the New Love For MLB

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Thu, Nov 19

By Joe Gerrity My love of the Mets stayed true until one day when the Mets started trying to emulate the Yankees. They started to embody the very values that I so very much detested. Tampa Bay? Sign me up for the bandwagon. 1. Yankees. 3. Mets. (Because they broke my heart.)
