- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+158I assume the Cubs are frantically digging under Wrigley to find out what the hell is buried there...
- orangester, on 04/14/2008, -7/+127Charging a man with a criminal act for putting a "curse" on the Yankees?
Are they that ***** stupid? - ridestp, on 04/14/2008, -6/+70Wow, the Yankee's are taking this WAY to seriously. Criminal charges for a "very, very bad thing"? Give me a break.
- pe5t1lence, on 04/14/2008, -3/+57I thought this would be a link to the Onion!
- Schmapdi, on 04/14/2008, -2/+55Sports fans are a funny sort about things like this it seems. Then again maybe I'm just bitter because I'm a music fan and haven't been able to successfully curse "Nickleback" yet.
- dontburythis, on 04/14/2008, -1/+44It was an Ortiz shirt...by they way he's hitting ,the curse was on him...
- jarrod10, on 04/14/2008, -6/+37exactly how is it a criminal act to bury a shirt in concrete at a stadium?
- DjViral, on 04/14/2008, -1/+29dugg for the proper spelling of dig
- yellowfish04, on 04/14/2008, -1/+27"On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt's location."
Wow, way to put the guy's name in the article! He'll be lucky to be alive one month from now.. - jmpeagle, on 04/14/2008, -3/+26wow...I like how the yankees were worried enough about a supernatural curse to spend money on digging up an article of clothing from inside concrete.
- UtahApocalyse, on 04/14/2008, -1/+24Digging out concrete in a stadium in New York...... Did they find Hoffa?
- ohhaiitsryan, on 04/14/2008, -2/+23is it even possible to legally charge someone for a "curse"?
- chrisaug18, on 04/14/2008, -4/+24overreact much?
- charlie55, on 04/14/2008, -0/+19most stadiums are around 40% shirts
- Ajajadude, on 04/14/2008, -3/+20While I'm no structural engineer, I am a member of Digg, so drawing on my obvious knowledge and expertise, I do not believe a shirt will have any sort of significant impact upon the structural integrity of the block of concrete.
- jaybol, on 04/14/2008, -5/+22good to see hal following in his dad's footsteps: "I hope his co-workers kick the [expletive] out of him," Yankees co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner said.
- 22magnum, on 04/14/2008, -2/+18I think they are taking this a little to seriously. I mean, could they use any more "verys" when describing what happened? Its not like the guy buried a pipe bomb in the dug out.
- Bossman1086, on 04/14/2008, -2/+18I think it's hilarious because just two days ago, the Yankees had a spokesman say that it wasn't true and pretty much that they didn't care....yet they just spent 5 hours digging it out and are thinking of pressing charges. Sounds like they did care to me...
- womanforchange, on 04/14/2008, -0/+15As if stuff doesn't get dropped into concrete all the time...hard hats lunch boxes, tools, Jimmy Hoffa...
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -18/+31New Yorkers should dig to get rid of their snobby attitudes. Dig deep *****.
- bedake, on 04/14/2008, -1/+13Wow I really hope this guy doesnt get in trouble over something as trivial as this.
- milkham, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11He's a terrorist, obviously.
- yacks, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11In other news, sand mixed with the new cement came from an ancient Indian burial site.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -4/+15Everything about this story is stupid. The fact that they dug it up was stupid. The fact that they talk about pressing charges against him is stupid. And the fact that this idiot couldn't keep his mouth shut for 11 more months where they really COULDN'T have done anything about it is the icing on the stupidity cake.
- nymphetamine, on 04/14/2008, -1/+11Hey, this is America!
- EmitStop, on 04/14/2008, -2/+11I guess it could be considered littering.
- ryryindo, on 04/14/2008, -1/+10pipe bomb....
now there's a curse. - inactive, on 04/14/2008, -2/+11Very very bad thing......
lets get one thing straight. Rape is a very bad thing, aids is a very bad thing, GWB is very bad thing.
This isn't a very bad thing. Its a harmless prank.
Oh and one more very very bad thing. Destroying balance of baseball. Imagine if baseball had a salary cap....LOL they would suck so bad. ***** the Yankees and George. - pudgyv, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9His co-workers thank him for the 5 hours of overtime.
/and they say Red Sox fans are stupidstitious - ShadowMagic, on 04/14/2008, -3/+12for tampering. As a worker on a site you can't mess around.
- charlie55, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8concrete always has ***** in it. water bottles, trash, various crap. it is concrete, it doesnt care. you mix it up with rocks and *****.
- littlegraydude, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8thats like when that rink maintenance guy at the Salt Lake City 2002 olympics put a Canadian loonie under center ice... won it all, too!
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7rofl.

http://stop-spamming-*****.org - AussieFox, on 04/14/2008, -2/+9Buried for the use of LOL when you would not have actually been 'laughing out loud'
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7He only worked one day on the project to begin with. A long time ago.
- drewlew, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7This is good for baseball. I'm not a fan, but seeing this level of irrational devotion to your team makes me want to watch it.
- jarrod10, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7exactly i don't get why the hell its such a big deal.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7He made his name public himself.
- politik192, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6The stadium you're thinking about is in New Jersey.
- TWiThead, on 04/14/2008, -3/+9Burying the t-shirt was wrong, but Randy Levine is making it out to be some sort of egregious sin. It was just a stupid prank. To listen to Levine, you'd almost think that the construction worker used the shirt to smother a puppy and buried *that* in the stadium.
- anarchyinthekr, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7wow dig looks weird with only one g
- wild, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6I'll tell you what is buried there. The hopes and dreams of the fans...
- phantomc0d3r, on 04/14/2008, -2/+7They didn't really care, its more of a media stunt than anything. And the cost of that little section of cement is nothing to the Yankees with all their money.
- ryryindo, on 04/14/2008, -4/+9you're a towel.
- diskit, on 04/14/2008, -7/+12I can't help but wonder
1: did they really dig up and find the shirt, or if they just lied and said they did
2: how many other shirts are there that they don't know about
3: how many more shirts will there be in the future - insomniac8400, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6They already did that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrigley_Field
"As part of the excavation, the crew found and removed the foundations of the goal posts from the Bears' playing days. The crew also reported that they left a "time capsule" buried somewhere under the new turf. Lowering the infield by 14 inches also effectively raises the outfield barrier by 14 inches, from the standpoint of the batter. It remains to be seen whether that factor will have any effect on home run production." - politik192, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6oh yeah...because the ghosts are too lazy to cross the street
- duggdowncatisad, on 04/14/2008, -7/+12YANKEES SUCK
- craighoxton, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5They do this in the UK too! But it's usually a prank done by construction workers, burying the soccer jersey of a rival team in the foundations.
