Amen, I am a lifelong Yankee fan and Trek Fan. Was at the last day game on Saturday and the old stadium will be missed, but like Trek, will be reborn in 2009. Go Yankees, and Live Long and Prosper!

As a native Bostonian, the Yankee's are the Borg of the baseball world...pure evil, a group of superstars, not a TEAM. Every day they lose is a day that makes me smile, and the fact that they thought they need a new stadium is an absolute joke. There was no reason for it other then the fact that they could not stand that the Mets were gonna get a new stadium, and most of the publicity for the next couple of years.

GO SOX! On to the post-season!

Truth. My three favorite teams at any given time are (in no particular order) The Mariners (yeah they suck, but they're still my team), the Dodgers (go L.A.!), and whomsoever is playing the Yankees that day.

Umm. OK. I'm a Cardinals fan. Lemme try.

-- NX01 was the first starship Enterprise

-- The Cardinals played in Busch Stadium I (aka Sportsmans Park).

-- NCC-1701 was the next starship Enterprise.

-- The Cardinals moved into Busch Stadium II.

-- Busch II was demolished.

-- So was NCC-1701.

-- The Cardinals moved into Busch Stadium III.

-- The third Enterprise was NCC-1701-A.



I'm done. My head hurts.

I knew this thread would bring in all the haters. Sorry that Star Trek didn't suck for 86 years like Boston did, lol.

Yeah, like the Sox wouldn't ditch Fenway Park in a frakking instant if there was another baseball team in the city to compete with?

In fact, there *were* plans to build a new Fenway, but I believe it was the Boston city council that put the kibosh on it.

As for Trek and the Yankees: I love 'em both! If the Yankees are the Borg, then resistance is indeed futile.

Actually, the City wanted to have the park made. But the owners decided to keep Fenway as is.

 

[Aragorn]

Does Star Trek have a cheap seat section of drunk, vulgar, rowdy and violent fans who might murder anyone who prefers BSG, Star Wars, Babylon 5, etc. over Trek?

 

[Turtletrekker]

^TNZ.

Eh, we took the 86 years of sucking too. But then at the end, we got the last laugh, while watching the greatest collapse in professional sports history.

Well seeing as how there were plans to build a New Fenway yes, but it never came to fruition partially because of the fan out cry.

Your post makes my point. It was not a practical, or business decision, that the Yankees decided they needed a new stadium, it was an ego trip. The precious Yankee ego (the same one that some of their fans have thinking that the postseason is their birthright, NOT THIS YEAR!) caused the team to spend over 1 Billion dollars that did not need to be spent on a brand new stadium, while relocating out a perfectly usable, and even as a Sox fan I say this, incredibly historical location that is much a part of the Yankees as the team itself is.

Augh, the thought of someone comparing something I love, Star Trek, to something I loathe with every fiber of my being is enough to make me gag.

lol, funny! But in all seriousness, even as a Yankee fan and season ticket holder, I wasn't completely in favor of a new Stadium across the street. It was so much fun watching Boston loose all those games over the last 40 years in our park. We'll just have to watch Boston lose some more over the next 100 years in the new ballpark.

(the same one that some of their fans have thinking that the postseason is their birthright, NOT THIS YEAR!)

lol, as a BoSux fan you would be an expert in not making it to the post-season and an even better expert on living with failure.

Think of all the lifelong BoSux fans who lived their whole lives never to see their precious team win a damn thing, watching homeruns and groundballs shatter their little dreams. Just think of the thousands of fans who lived and died over 86 years never getting to see their team win. That's a lot of dead BoSux fans and that can never be erased.

It will be as funny while watching Hank "the bonehead" Steinbrenner make more stupid moves, spend more money, and still loose, while watching A Rod ground into a double plays in every clutch situation for the next nine years.

Meanwhile, a smart Sox ownership over the past few years have created a business model of drafting players, player development, and out of the box free agent signings that have made the team as successful as it's been, and has become the model baseball organization within the MLB.

The personification to me, of the current states of the two franchises, are their two second basemen.

Robinson Cano of the Yankees, all the talent in the world, has a pretty swing and quick hands, but had a lazy attitude and makes some bonehead moves while out on the field. Looks pretty on the surface, but has major holes.

Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox, a guy who has one tenth of the talent of Cano, but hustles every play, takes every at bat as his last, and generally annoys the living shit out of the opposing teams and their fans. Oh yeah, and also is in the running for the batting title and the MVP. He is an ugly little bastard, but the man is a true baseball player, and gets the job done.

Its a new era, get used to it.

Anxiously awaiting New York Yankees:The Next Generation

 

[22 Stars]

Wow, bold words from a fan of a wild-card team, with a broke-down slugger and nobody to back him up. Enjoy your crow this year, and here's hoping that the Angels or the Dodgers (and Manny) kick your asses and you have to take a wicked-long plane ride home.

Tons of Yankees and Yankee fans have won and seen more World Series than Boston EVER HAS! In fact, Yogi and Jeter have more rings than BoSux world series apperances in 100 years.

In fact, in just the past 25 years, I HAVE SEEN more World Series wins than Boston, lol.

I know I've had this discussion, but as a guy who used to root for the BoSox, right now, I don't see much difference between the Red Sox and the Yankees (aside from the fact that Boston is better at winning).

 

[22 Stars]

All the big market teams are hell-bent on winning. The Steinbrenners put a ton of money (as did the NY taxpayer and ticket buyer) back into the team and we will have a beautiful new stadium that reminds us of the classic pre-renovated stadium and that will be fun to see. As far as winning, of course the Yankees underperformed this year, but they have a history and tradition of winning. Boston has a tradition and history of losing, and losing a lot, and being famous for losing. That's always fun.

 

[Tom]

Boston always losing and the Yankees winning is sooo 20th century! here int he 21st century it is the other way around LOL!

The Red Sox and Fenway are more like Battlestar Galactica than Star Trek, there home may be old but they know how to fight!
