This pretty much. I hate that fucking team, but want them to lose healthy.demolition23 wrote:That sucks.
As much as I hate the Yankees, I hate seeing play-offs impacted by injuries, and Jeter was having an epic year.

What's gonna suck is if they get knocked out of the post season, their mouth breather fans won't shut up about Jeter. I can hear it now..."if fuckin' Jetah was there, the Yanks woulda won. Captain clutch..."Prepare yourself folks.
Oh and Bigbuttskinner, shut up faggot. If you don't care why are you in the thread?
Tickets are way too fucking expensive at that place...most seats are over $100.LAglamrocker wrote:ALCS game 1 didn't even sellout...bandwagon almost over
No show: Yankees try to disguise empty seats at ALCS by moving fans
NEW YORK – For the second consecutive playoff game, swaths of empty seats filled Yankee Stadium, entire rows without a single fan. And on Saturday night, instead of letting them sit embarrassingly open for Game 1 of the ALCS, ushers were told to fill them with fans from other sections.
"We were up there," said Bill Brady, 46, of Roxbury, N.J., pointing from his new seat in Section 334 to the top of 434b. "Way up there."

Brady was one of dozens of fans ferried by ushers in the bottom of the fourth inning to Section 334 down the left-field line, which just an inning earlier had nine people sitting among more than 100 unfilled seats. One usher, who asked not to be identified, said he was told by a superior to start sending fans to the higher-priced seats.
"I don't know what it's about," the usher said. "I guess they want to make it look better on TV."
While some Yankees fans mobilized on Twitter and other social networks to rationalize the second consecutive non-sellout, fans in Section 334 were miffed and disappointed that a metropolitan area of 22 million couldn't sell out a stadium with a capacity short of 51,000. The announced attendance was 47,122.
Empty seats during playoff games are the domain of Atlanta – and even the Braves sold out their wild-card game this year. To see Yankee Stadium with giant blue patches not only down the left-field line but in Section 207 in right field was stunning and inconceivable for a game played at the old Yankee Stadium, which was shuttered in 2008.

You know damn well most Yankees fans are thinking, "Why couldn't it have been Alex Rodriguez?". But it's hard to get injured while riding the bench.Rorysfan wrote:derek jeter out for remainder of playoffs...fractured ankle.

I think it's hilarious that the Yankees can't sell out their new overpriced stadium, not even for postseason games. I learned a long time ago to get my baseball tix on stubhub within a day of the game. I went to Dodgers games all season long by paying about $6 for a loge level seat ($25-$80 face), which basically allows you to move to any infield seat you want on the loge level. I do the same for Angels stadium too. I'll find the absolute cheapest ticket for that place on stubhub on the day of, doesn't matter how shitty the seat, because you can pretty much get down to the field level.Crazy Levi wrote:Tickets are way too fucking expensive at that place...most seats are over $100.LAglamrocker wrote:ALCS game 1 didn't even sellout...bandwagon almost over

For a BASEBALL game. Ridiculous. Even higher for the playoffs.
I'm glad people are voting with their wallets. The two Yankees games I went to this year I got tickets for $15 (face 50) and $40 (face $70 playoffs).
The big losers here are season ticket holders. Makes no sense to own them.
