Jeff Suppan allowed all three runs over five frames to fall to 1-and-2 with the loss. The Brewers have dropped four straight.

Dreams come true!For many Beijingers and visitors to Beijing there was a chance to make an Olympic dream come true this last weekend. The National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) was open to the public for the first time as it hosted the 2008 BBMG IAAF Race Walking Challenge.Many of us in Beijing have watched the stadium grow from hutongs and corn fields to the magnificent, awe-inspiring, first class sporting venue we see today. For years we have seen workers risk their lives as work continued 24 hours a day to build this awesome structure. Finally the time came when we were able to stop watching this incredible ‘Bird’s Nest’ evolve ready for its ‘residents’ and we could enjoy ‘nestling’ in the ‘Nest’!Sitting in the stadium it is hard to believe that such a gigantic structure can

History in North America: rm unicted, field positioning not correctly described in the vastly different domed stadiums ← Previous revision Revision as of 20:25, 29 April 2008 Line 14: Line 14: Multi-purpose stadiums began replacing their baseball-only and football-only predecessors, now known as "Classics" or "Jewel Box", in the 1960s. The advantage to a multi-purpose stadium is that a singular infrastructure and piece of real estate can support both teams in terms of transportation and playing area, and money (often public money) that would have been spent to support infrastructure for two stadiums could be spent elsewhere. Unlike their predecessors which were generally built in the middle of the cities, most multi-purpose stadium

Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, Sara Evans and Taylor Swift are among the acts that have been previously announced as performers during the LP Field stadium shows at June's CMA Music Festival. But with single-day tickets about to go on sale Saturday, the exact dates of those individual performances across the event's four-day run is only now becoming clearer. Sugarland, for example, is pegged for the first night, June 5, while subsequent concerts will include Faith Hill (June 6), Alan Jackson (June 7) and two artists returning after a lengthy absence — Dwight Yoakam, making his first appearance in 20 years; Randy Travis, back after 10 years away — appearing on the closing night (June 8).

Beijing’s eye-catching main Olympic stadium, better known as the Bird’s Nest, will open for business for the first time on Friday when it hosts a world-class athletics event. The 3.5-billion-yuan (500-million-dollar) arena will be the centrepiece of the Beijing Games, staging the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the athletic competition. Though it remains unfinished, the iconic stadium which gained its nickname thanks to its interlocking structure of steel beams, will throw open its doors to an estimated 20,000 paying customers for an IAAF men’s race-walking competition. It is one of 42 test events that Beijing Olympic organisers are staging to fine-tune preparations ahead of the August 8-24 Games.

Billionaire developer Edward P. Roski Jr. has made a commitment to build the kind of stadium an NFL team needs to thrive in Los Angeles. Now, he's hoping one will commit to play there. Roski, a part owner of the Kings and Lakers who has spent years trying to lure the NFL back to this area, unveiled plans Thursday for a 75,000-seat facility in the City of Industry he said could be finished in time for...

From The Onion, hat tip to Peter Abraham:Citing a need for physical and spiritual cleansing after a Boston Red Sox fan entombed a David Ortiz jersey in the floor of the new facility, the New York Yankees buried former centerfielder Bernie Williams under 4,650 pounds of concrete Wednesday in the foundation of the new Yankee Stadium for good luck. According to team sources, the instant the 39-year-old Williams was completely submerged in the rapidly setting structural material, stopping his voice as his lungs and mouth filled with concrete, the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the yet-incomplete field. Yankees part-owner Hank Steinbrenner called the occurrence a sign indicating that the "Curse Of A Red Sox Fan's David Ortiz Jersey" had been reversed, and that God was once again o

According to two construction workers who are so far unnamed the new $1.3 billion USD Yankee Stadium has secretly had a Red Sox shirt buried in the new slab below the visiting team's clubhouse. The stunt was pulled by a Bostonite working on the cement pouring crew at the new stadium's site. One worker is calling it the Yankee's curse. The workers say the slab was poured back in August.

New York Governor David Patterson and his wifes 2007 income tax filings show that they only donated $150.00 dollars to charity. That charitable donation went to the Salvation Army in the form of clothing. The items probaly were condoms and the boxers he wore when he cheated. This guy is one cheap bastard. Then again i'm not suprised because he did use tax payers money to help pay for his sexual trysts in hotels. In related news, Governor Patterson threw out the first pitch at last nights Mets-Washington baseball game that honored Jackie Robinson. How cruel is that? The good news is that he threw out the first pitch, the bad news is that he threw the ball and it hit somebody in the stands. No word if that fan is suing. In pre-game warm-up practices he kepted throwing the ball to righ

Lo que comenzó como un relajo se convirtió en una realidad.

One of the workers on the crew that's building the new Yankee Stadium is a big Red Sox fan, and when he had a chance to bury a David Ortiz jersey in the ground he took it. Some coworkers who are Yankee fans didn't think his attempt to curse the Bronx Bombers was very funny, so they got their jackhammers and successfully dug up the shirt. Yankee management has gone to the local district attorney to see if they can bring any charges against the worker who buried the shirt. The jersey is being sent to the Jimmy Fund in Boston where it will be auctioned off with all the money going to help in the fight against juvenile cancer.

This is crazy, if you have not heard the story -- from Youtube:A construction worker helping to build the new Yankees Stadium in New York is a Boston Red Sox fan -- so he buried a Red Sox T-shirt underneath the concrete used for the visitors' clubhouse (it has been since reported by the Yankees' PR Department to be not true, ala an urban legend - who knows.

If there is, please stop rooting for the Yankees, we don't need your kind.The Post even called the report "EXCLUSIVE," this happened last August, and I'm almost certain I read about it then, but seriously, if something is this stupid, I think removing the "exclusive" tag would be wise.The new Yankee Stadium may be cursed!

Visit her site for concurrent play-by-play commentary of her two culinary dynamos as our teams do battle today in Kitchen Stadium.] If memory serves me right, my mother always said to me, “little chairman, the kitchen is no place for children.” I would then look at her inquisitively and ask “why mama-san, why is that?” and she would say, “because you come in here with your dirty little hands, grab my produce, gaze at it admiringly, take a bite and smile.

Take a minute to read this great article by the Sun's George Weigel. It's a wonderful piece about the Baltimore Orioles and their "regionalism" attempt.I live in Montgomery County and grew up outside of Washington D.C., so I can understand the point of regionalism and the Oriole marketing strategy; however, considering the state the baseball team and Camden Yards is pretty much empty sans the Yankees and Red Sox are in town, it's about time that the team tries to reconnect with the city.Plus, the marketing concept is kind of old considering the Washington Nationals in the region.There are quite a few fans like me root for both and grew up loving the Orioles; alas, it would not hurt to put "Baltimore" back on the road jerseys and whatever else.I, and other fans know the Orioles play in the

CitiField is going to be an amazing new ballpark for the New York Mets. The photos tell a loud story already of what a first-class baseball stadium should be. But with the advent of CitiField comes the closure of Shea Stadium, a place where though only two championships were won by the home team — the Yankees celebrated a championship there in 2000 unfortunately — that has a lot of memories of all different kinds for fans of the New York Mets.I supposed I was fortunate to be there for some of the greatest moments the team’s ever seen.

To be 'first' in most categories is a great honor, but to be the first fan to ever step through the gates of now legendary Yankee Stadium is something very special. So special that Malcolm Drummond -- who lived but a mere blocks away from Yankee Stadium when it opened in 1923 -- bailed on his school responsibilities that April 18; determined to be the very first stadium patron.Drummond's proximity to the Stadium was indeed an advantage, but it didn't hurt that he arrived at the corner of River Ave. and 161st Street hours before Yankee starter Bob Shawkey would throw his first pitch. Drummond's resourcefulness paid off handsomely.As the Bronx Home News detailed in the fifth paragraph of its April 18 evening edition, Drummond (whose complete address is printed) appears to be the first to hav

In today's New York Post, there were two articles from the past:Cheers & Tears For A Legend, written by Jimmy Cannon about Babe Ruth Day at Yankee Stadium from Sunday, April 27, 1947.And It All Started With A Bang, written by Robert F. Kelley which appeared in the April 18, 1923 New York Evening Post, about the first game at the then brand new Yankee Stadium.They really don't make sports writers like they used to. Though, Mike Vaccaro's article about The Stadium's nickname, also from today's Post, is very good.The Post is also counting down the top 25 moments at Yankee Stadium. Today was moment No. 25; Game 7 of the 1926 World Series, a game that ended with Babe Ruth getting thrown out trying to steal 2nd base in a one-run game. (Could you imagine if A-Rod did that?)

Did you know that in 1998 when the Yankees were considering moving to the west side of Manhattan, or even worse, New Jersey, Bronx Borough President, Fernando Ferrer, proposed a renovation plan for the current Yankee Stadium? I didn't. Earlier this week StadiumPage.com posted several pictures, and an article from the New York Times about the proposal. Here is a part of the article from the Times:Mr. Ferrer's proposal, called Yankee Village, comes a month before George M. Steinbrenner 3d, the Yankees' principal owner, is expected to announce his decision on where the team will play after its lease with the city expires in 2002. Mr. Steinbrenner has long threatened to move his team to New Jersey or Manhattan, complaining that the Bronx stadium has too few luxury boxes and parking spaces, and

Brad Thompson and three relievers combined to throw a seven-hit shutout as the Cardinals blanked the Rockies, 3-0, at Busch Stadium. Thompson went six and-two-thirds, giving up six of the seven hits and fanning six. He also drove in a run at the plate, while Troy Glaus went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Jason Isringhausen picked up his first save of the season as St. Louis took two-of-three in the series from the defending National League champions. Garrett Atkins was 3-for-4 for the Rox in the losing effort. Ubaldo Jimenez took the loss, giving up all three runs on eight hits. Colorado took the season-opener before dropping the following two contests.
