Eat My Sports: Yankee Stadium

Babe Ruth can burn in hell. From “The Curse,” to inspiring Babe, to that God awful candy bar. That overweight drunk can take one final thing to his grave and have it pummeled there with him. Good riddance Yankee Stadium.

I really wouldn’t be feeling this way if not for a certain four-letter’s ridiculously overblown coverage of the last season of a stadium. The Mets are moving to a new ballpark next year, I don’t remember anything this commercialized when the Braves moved from their old stomping grounds. And I seriously doubt they did anything for the sandlot.

Yet a New York Yankees/Yankees/East Coast Bias commercialism has led to a season-long documentary of “The House That Ruth Built.”

Spare me.

Let the building crumble. Does it really matter? As for the current installment of the Bronx “A-Roid” Bombers, a new tradition of mediocrity is going into their new stadium, and quite frankly, I don’t think anyone could give a crap about Yankee stadium taking its rightful place in New York dust. Go ahead and finish off what the Sox started in the 2004 ALCS. I won’t be crying.

Top five things that annoy me in sports this week:

Way to mail it in last year, Johan.
4. Pat Riley
Way to mail it in this season.
3. Shaquille O’Neal
Way to mail in the past two years.
2. U.S. Postal Service
Way to not deliver MY MAIL.

I’m done ranting.
