I want to take a Louisville Slugger and pound somebody with it.
This week the veneration and worship of Yankee Stadium is reaching its feverish peak. They need to hurry up and get this over with so they can TEAR IT DOWN!
What is it about we Americans that makes us so quick to discard the important things that make us American. Whether it's our neglect of jazz and blues when the artists are huge stars elsewhere or our headlong rush to destroy the origins of our greatest homegrown sport, we sure love to leave smoking craters where cultural icons used to stand.
I thought I was over the pain of the abandonment of great Tiger Stadium (every inch the equal or superior of Yankee Stadium) for the abomination of The Bank That Left Michigan Field, but this sad turn of events has ripped open the scab.
The Curse of the Bambino on all their heads! Especially the two chief idiots: George Steinbrenner and Michael Bloomberg.
And a baseball novena for the vigilant fans who keep Wrigley Field and Fenway Park so vibrantly alive.
