I agree Gucci. You know what you can do though.
Call the scalpers the day of, maybe even a few hours before the game and offer them $20 for the ticket. When they laugh at you say "would you rather eat face value of ever ticket you don't sell, or make a couple bucks?" They'll always sell and it's my little way of fucking them over. I've scored $80 seats for $15 before.

Since my brother and I are probably the only people left who care about the padres I guess i'll represent.
Very displeased with their offseason moves. Letting loretta get away for doug mirabelli ?? Enjoy him boston. You will love him! Signing brian giles back but giving ramon hernandez the cold shoulder? Come on guys, wtf??
It will be interesting to see how we use piazza though. But with our luck he will go on the 60 day DL in his first game of the season.
Also, yanks suck and go sox! And dodger blue, my ass. I guess the giants can suck it too while i'm at it.
rant over.

doug mirabelli is the man!
enjoy *him*!
he is one of the last of a kind: a man who doesn't wear batting gloves.

i love doug too, but the pads really needed to keep loretta. I'm pissed that we had a good catcher we let get away. let's just hope for the clubhouse's sake that mirabelli doesn't practice the moises alou pre-game ritual.
p.s. - loving the dr. in the house...Dave Roberts...mad wheels!!

Jays are going to be good this year. Everyone is counting them out but they are going to make it tough for the Yanks and Sox.

I love how peter gamons pretends like the blue jays don't even exist. i agree, it would be awesome to see them give the AL east a run for its money.

Fuckin sucks. First 20 games of the season are already sold out for the White Sox. Fuckin fair weather fans. Good thing I gots a connection.
I bet for all 20 of the first games it will be a sellout crowd but on TV you'll notice thousands of empty seats. The scalpers are really fucking this whole thing up buying up all the tickets and trying to tell them for outrageous fees, and when no one does no one uses the ticket. Bullshit.

It looks like I heading out to a couple of spring training sites tomorrow. Mostl likely I'll be stopping by the A's and the Giants camps.
I honestly can't wait for the season to start. :)

The defining moment of the season will be in game seven of the ALCS. Ninth evening. Papelbon has just mowed the Yanks down 1,2,3 - all three K's swinging. Then Coco Crisp gets a double against Rivera, who has just entered the game. Loretta, nursing an injured elbow, hits a soft liner to center on the next pitch that drops in front of a hard charging Damon. Coco doesnt hesitate rounding third, and Damon's weak throw falls in front of the pitcher's mound and bounces to the first base side of the plate. Crisp scores standing up, and the Sox win, 6-5.

(Mar 2 06, 12:55)Nice. My first baseball game ever. Cubs vs. Pirates. 1986. Bond's rookie season. I was 10. Sat on the first base side behind the dugout. You fuckers beat us. : )
Been a Sox fan now for the last 10 years after the Cubs fans turned yuppie.
Opening day I'll be in the players' wives section, and after the game in the clubhouse. Horray!

Yea kOna I remember reading about how you go to parties and ish with the White Sox players/families and always thought that was pretty neat.
Glad to hear your connections are still in tact this year!
