So a lot is being made in the local and national media concerning this upcoming series between the Sox and Yankees. The recurring storyline highlights the fact that this is the Red Sox last regular season series in the boogey-down Bronx. I just don't get why everyone, especially around here, is getting all sentimental about Yankee Stadium, aka America's largest outdoor urinal. The place is a dump - I say the sooner they blow it up, the better. You won't see us here at the Ejected Fan doing any foolish tributes or regaling you with nonsensical anecdotes. Save that for your grandma's blog.
That said, this upcoming series is a huge one in terms of playoff implications. The Red Sox have the chance to bury the Yankees for good, and have us get a head start on planning our Yankee elimination parties. Most Yankee blogs I have read think the Yankees need to sweep this series to keep their post-season hopes alive. I can't say I disagree.
Here at the Ejected Fan we tend to get a little fired up for Sox/Yankees showdowns, and this series is no different. So in honor of that, yours truly will be live-blogging tonight's game, and possibly tomorrow night's as well. So if you're looking for a solid breakdown of the action complete with passion, humor, and plenty of swearing, check it out. SB has you covered. And don't be afraid to let me have it in the comments or via email: SmartyBarrett@gmail.com
See you tonight!

Isn't there a little nostalgia though? I mean like your first dump or the first time you ever vomitted? Weren't you even trying to coordinate a farewell trip to Yankee stadium?
If the Yankees were smart, they would have planned the last game of the season against the sox at Yankee stadium... Hank Steinbrenner is an idiot, he wouldn't allow an outdoor NHL game there after the season is over...
you mean his father wouldn't allow it?
There's no real nostalgia for me - I hate the place and always have. I was trying to coordinate a trip to see the Red Sox play ONLY. I was using the "it's the last year of Yankee Stadium" as a selling point to get others to come along.
Also, MLB makes the Yankees schedule, not the Yankees. If MLB were smart...
