It's the greatest support seats in all of baseball.

It might be a good place to sit if you're out with your mates and having a few beers, however, as a place to watch the actual game from, bleachers stink.

Are they the ones who sing to the players and use the same 2 songs for all the players? And one of them isn't even "one ........ there's only one ......." no imagination these yanks.

edited to add: Although the gang bang song is quite amusing.

In America we don't serenade our players.

Not that I am for or against singing to show support, but we don't really do that over here.

What about the "roll call" by the Highlanders fans in the bleachers ?

"Derek Jeter .. clap clap clap.. Derek Jeter .. clap clap clap.... " etc

that's very far from a song.  we may chant, but we don't song.

I wish we did sing, it probably would add to the fun.


In other news, I just started using twitter.  It's actually really cool for sports scores and updates.  I'm sure your news doesn't cover much MLB.  I would give it a shot.

literally play by play right to your phone.l

[pmarachi]

"Welcome to Miami......."




I'm surprised that a Marlins fan would take on a Yankee fan in Miami. Surely the home team supporters were outnumbered.

Now playing for Homer Simpson's favourite team, the Albuquerque Isotopes**...... Manny Ramirez !!



Its strange how he's banned from Major League Baseball but can play for a Dodgers' Minor League team


[** Yes, they are named after the Simpsons episode where the team owner tries to move the Springfield Isotopes to Albuquerque]

If I ever get into a fight with my kid around, someone kill me.

What an ass.

Good to see John Smoltz back in action, albeit in a losing performance.

Hopefully I'll get to see one or two Smoltz starts during my visit to Boston starting July 4th weekend.

I will be at Yankee Stadium July 3rd and 4th.

If you are in the area, I may have an extra ticket on the 3rd in a luxury box if my sister has her baby this week and her husband can't go.

Free of charge to those coming from other countries.
