[1] Yankees’ interleague should definitely include LAD but I am excited about CHI and CIN too.

I was just thinking what a shame it is that Gordon won’t be pitching in Wrigley. Because I assume he can actually hit… wouldn’t you think? Maybe we’ll see in Cincinnati.

1) I agree about the Rockies series, but Yanks at Wrigley is like Aretha at the Apollo. Doesn’t matter what year it is, or who’s in the band. You go – and I wish I was.

I’m kinda jazzed to see them in the Cincinnati setting as well.

My parents were in a Florida bar last spring and my mom saw some dude in a Cubs jersey. She is not exacatly a prude woman but told my dad she couldn’t believe how offensive the guy’s jersey was and that type of stuff should not be allowed. What was on the back, of course, was Fukudome. : )
My dad got a kick out of telling that one.

I was in the bleachers for the first two of those 2003 Wrigley games. The highlight for me was seeing Boomer double into the LF corner. In my (no doubt gauzy) memory, the ball looked for a minute as if it could go out. Scary part was the next day when Kerry Wood crashed into Choi and he ended up leaving the field in an ambulance.

I really think this particular set of interleague games (CHI, CIN, MIL, COL) show just how pointless interleague play has become. I mean seriously, ANY of these games is supposed to be some kind of exciting novelty?

And yet they still refuse to bring the Dodgers to the Bronx. But here come the Rockies!
