Well, that's it. The end...

Today is moving day for the Yankees. At 7a.m. the Yankees began moving employees into their new offices at the New Yankee Stadium. So, with most of the staff in their new office and everything on schedule, is it time to officially stop calling the new stadium "New Yankee Stadium" and just saying "Yankee Stadium?" For me, I guess I'll still be calling it New Yankee Stadium until I actually go to the new stadium this summer and realize that old Yankee Stadium is now just a pale shadow of it's once jubilant self. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to cozy up to the new stadium, but at the same time, I'm not willing to let go of the old stadium that I basically lived in during the summer. Pete Abraham has some great pictures up on his blog. Check it out here.

As for yesterday... sorry for not posting, I had a great idea for a blog, but I think it's a bit overkill now. My power was out for most of the day and didn't come back on until late last night. Central NC got its first bout of substantial snow since 2003 this past week. So, naturally, my power goes out. I  passed the time by listening to my ipod.  Anyway... the power is back on now.

I didn't get to see the entire press conference for Jeff Kent, but I caught some of it on highlights and online. Gah, it was depressing! I'm not even a fan of the guy and I was getting emotional (not that I dislike him, I just never followed him or his teams). Jeff spoke about all the sacrifices he and his family have made over the years for his career and he admitted that he was just tired after 17 seasons. It really made me think of Derek Jeter. This will be Jeter's 15^th season in pinstripes (if you count 1995, when he played 15 games). That depresses me guys, to just think of Jeter not being at SS for the Yankees one day. I think I'd rather die (JUST KIDDING). It's strange to think about... Listening to Jeff Kent also made me feel a bit selfish. It's like, I know these players have families that they hardly see, but as long as they make me happy by playing baseball it's ok (see that's so selfish). Anyway, I wish Jeff a happy retirement.

Final Whisper: Is anyone going to the season home opener at (New) Yankee Stadium?
