Spring Training is over! But there’s no real baseball yet! That means it’s prediction time. It’s always fun to compile these so you can look back at them later and giggle because you (and everyone with a brain) knew the Tigers were not going to blow away the competition in 2008. I’ll update this as [...]

Yes, Perhaps Some of the Seats ARE Too Expensive
Hot off the AP Wire: “I think if anybody in any business had known where this economy was going to go, they would have done things differently,” Steinbrenner said Thursday. “Look, there’s no doubt small amounts of our tickets might be overpriced. “You know, we’re continuing to look into that,” he said. “But the bottom [...]
The Cheapest Ticket I Will Ever Purchase
The Yankees put a bunch of tickets for the Cubs exhibition games up for sale Wednesday. I don’t really know where these came from as it’s been “sold out” for a while, but that’s unimportant (it’s probably tickets they were holding back for Cubs season holders).

They will improve but are unlikely to overtake the Brewers who have a far superior lineup. Ken Rosenthal (Fox Sports) Rosenthal’s predictions are, in a nutshell, [...]
Pictures From The First Game At Yankee Stadium
Wound up going to the game tonight after all, thanks to a friend. Here are pictures from my seat in Section 415 and beyond: And the annoying part of the games that apparently will never go away:
Pictures (And Video!) From The Second Game At Yankee Stadium
Today was the day! I picked up my $1.10 (plus $3.50 in Ticketmaster fees) hard ticket from will call for the game. I am tempted to frame this because of the ridiculous price: The will call window area was very slow, and although they have many lines inside the office everyone gets stuck on one [...]
Pitching Matchups – Baltimore Series
Ah, the first pitching matchups of the year. Even if today’s game doesn’t happen, these will stay the same because it’s the first series of the season and what have you. Monday, April 6th CC Sabathia (NR) vs Jeremy Guthrie (NR) Jeremy Guthrie is the only known not terrible entity in the 2009 Orioles rotation. [...]
Compiling 2009 Season Predictions (Part 3)
Part 1 & Part 2. This is probably the last round-up as the season is officially underway. I plan on revisiting these when the season is over. Again, I am just ignoring all the awards predictions because while some of them are hilarious that stuff is too erratic to really hold people to. You may [...]
