Transforming the Stadium
By
This photo — originated with the Yankees — is making the e-mail forwarding rounds right now. It’s the Stadium, mid-Papal setup. As you can see — click to enlarge — all of the Yankee Stadium advertising will be covered up before this weekend’s Mass at the Stadium. I wonder what song the Cardinals will all pick during the Yankee Jukebox segment after the top of the first inning.
I’m thinking the pope goes about seven innings, giving up three runs on eight hits.
The bullpen could use the rest.
I think he can do better than that. Look at the line from his previous start.
Pope (W, 1-1) 5.0 4 1 1 1 8 0 1.93
I’m just not sure if he can handle the mystique and aura of Yankee Stadium. I mean St. Peters in nice, but Yankee Stadium is a baseball cathedral.
Ill take him over Moose.
He’s not very deceptive though, flies wide open during his motion.
