An Early AM Fanboy Moment

Jorge Posada, on being a part of the first official game at the new Yankee Stadium, via the Post -

“[Today] is going to be pretty special,” Jorge Posada said. “We won’t see the magnitude of it until later in our lives.”

I’ll be at the game today – as a fan. And, I agree that it feels special – at this moment.

Actually, it’s kind of crazy. I live about 55 miles south of the Stadium. So, I’ll be leaving the house around 9 AM this morning – as I’ll be traveling by car – to get there in time for all the ceremonies, etc. And, if it’s a three-hour game – and why wouldn’t it be? – I’ll be heading home just at the start of rush hour. Therefore, I expect that I will not get home until sometime around 6 PM.

Nine to six is a full day – and it sounds too long to devote towards attendance of a baseball game.

And, of course, I had to take a day off from work to be there today. And, those “Paid Time Off” days are gold. Burning one of them to go see a baseball game seems a bit wacky too. (Not to forget, I’m going to “pay” for being out today when I return to work tomorrow and have two days worth of work to get done in one day now.)

I’m not even going to get into details on how much I’ll be spending today on tickets, parking and food etc.

Yet, right now, it all seems worth it. After all, it’s a special day right?

Now, let’s just hope that the Yankees win today – because a loss just doesn’t fit the picture of what should happen today, does it?

If they do lose, I wonder if that will take anything away from the way I’m feeling right now – meaning that sensation of being pumped over this special day? That’s one question I hope we don’t get a chance to see the answer on…

…Whaddaya say Yanks? Let’s kick some Tribe fannies today, OK?
