Hearing rumors that Cole wants to go home to the west coast. It could be posturing, who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have to do something. Trout is being wasted. It's worse than what happened with Mattingly. At least the Yankees tried and Trout is already an all time great.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 16, 2019 Can we still call the new Yankees Stadium, "new"? In any event, seeing postseason games in the new park just isn't the same. Might as well be in Cleveland - she's lost her mystique, her pizzazz, her Holy Grailness. Even when my team wasn't in it (which has been most of my life) there was something special and captivating about watching October baseball in old Yankee Stadium.

When you don't have to drive there and pay for parking it's a lot cheaper. People give their tickets up to a lot of the games. It's 40 bucks just to park. So they'll sell one of their games on stubhub or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
