Final MLB Game at Yankee Stadium will feature a New York Yankees Team not worthy of the $209 M

Yes, they paid a whopping $209 million for this team that won't make any playoff appearances this season.

Quite sad ain't it? The New York Yankees have struggled, to say the least, this 2008 MLB baseball season and it's unfortunate that the last Yankees team we'll ever get to see at Yankee Stadium this Sunday is a baseball club merely a shell of it's former self.

And in case you haven't heard, Yankee Stadium will be having it's last Yankee game this Sunday when the struggling New York Yankees play host to the Baltimore Orioles. With all of it's history, Yankee Stadium has become a staple in American baseball and the Yankees have pissed on all that this season with the kind of campaign that'll make your stomach turn.

There was a time when the New York Yankees, although they didn't have to be as pathetic as the 2008 team, were far from being a playoff team. It was 1993 and Yankee Stadium wasn't selling out every single ticket available.

Mariano Rivera, arguably the best closer in baseball today, was not even playing for the Yankees then, starting for the minor leagues where he kept on honing his skills until he got the nod.

STILL, that 1993 team was still way better than what we have now. That 1993 Yankees team was feisty, unlike this year's Yankees, who only has that whopping $209 million going for them and nothing else, ending the organization's 13 straight playoff appearances.

''There was a real sincerity about everyone on that team,'' Buck Showalter said, manager of that 1993 Yankees team. ''There wasn't anyone with a look-at-me attitude. There wasn't anybody worrying about having style.''

''Their substance was their style.''

Can you imagine what this dude will say about them Yanks' if New York loses to the Baltimore Orioles in the very last game at Yankee Stadium this Sunday?
