All it took was a single e-mail, which arrived from the office of George Steinbrenner

Misery loves company.

I think it's more of an issue of overpriced tickets and simply put, the worst possible economic environment since the Depression.

The Yankees, Red Sox and other traditional teams, with rich history, will always have that special feeling to them. Once the Yanks get their fiscal senses together, combined with a better economy, it will be like old times in the Bronx...........minus the fires.

The Yankees havent turned off their fanbase like this since the 80's.

The new Stadium is an embarrassment and I'm happy its blowing up in their faces. Not to mention, the idea of "home field advantage" doesnt exist anymore. Way to go.

If this team hovers around .500 all season, god knows whats going to happen.

What a disgrace.
