Love Tex on this team and the only guy I think, long term, was worth the gazillions of dollars they spent.

The old Tiger Stadium was much bigger than Wiffle Stadium. They said on the broadcast yesterday that there was 160 hrs at Yankee Stadium last season and that they are on pace for 320 at Wiffle Park. When Jeter has 7 HR'S and May is not even over yet let alone the year you know there is a problem.Michael Brown said:I don't get it. Since a lot of home runs are hit there, it's an embarrassment? What's embarrassing about it? I guess because the scores are 9-5 rather than 2-1...yeah And anyway, even if it is embarrassing to field a team that plays in a park conducive to home runs, I assume it was extremely difficult to show your face after all the 15-11 games at the old Tiger Stadium. I mean really, who cares?Newsflash: I don't know a single Yankee fan that is embarrassed at the fact that the park plays small (so far), and I don't see why any Yankee officials should be either. I think anyone who IS embarrassed about it needs to get out more because they're kind of a loser. Pants fall down in public, get schooled by a 10 year old in H-O-R-S-E, meet a hot chick while you have a booger on your face, fine...but baseball team gives up and hits a lot of home runs?!? Which one of those doesn't really belong?They just called it a 1.5 billion dollar wiffle ball field.What an embarrassment to the old Yankee Stadium.

I hope you noted that I'm not always negative about the Yanks. Just most of the time, lately.

Tex had a nice broken bat home run in Wiffle Park today

That guy is fast becoming worth the money. He made some spectacular plays on D this past weekend.E-A-G-L-E-S said:

You'd think in this day/age of statistics galore that it'd be easy to look up how many HRs have been hit to left, center, and right fields. But, I'm coming up with nothing. Shouldn't this be a staple of our stats diet for individual players, teams, and ballparks?Anyone have a link to these data?
I heard the stat on Mike and Mike in the morning a few days ago

StarkTowards the bottom of that article, he gets into the HRs at the new Yankee Stadium. Nearly all the HRs that have been hit are legit. The new park has nearly the same dimensions, the same weather, same location. Yet instead of blaming crappy pitching, the more likely cause for the HRs is a supposed wind tunnel that no amount of testing could discover?The old Tiger Stadium was much bigger than Wiffle Stadium.
