It seems that CNBC has gotten their hands on the Yankees postseason ticket prices. You should head over there to read the full thing but here’s the news I was excited about: Those season ticket holders sitting in non-premium seats will pay the same per-game price as they are paying for the regular season for [...]

The Yankees Update Their Security Guidelines
One of the most irritating things about going to Yankee Stadium the last several years was their insane no-bag policy. If you were a woman or pretended not to know English and found the right guard you could sometimes squeak around that, but mostly you were just out of luck. At tonight’s game, however, I [...]
Don't Buy Day of Game Price–Buy StubHub
I had tickets for yesterday’s rainout and won’t be attending another evening game until the 30th because of the Yankees schedule and my plans. Toying with the idea of going tonight, I first checked what was available through Ticketmaster and was turned off by the insane day of game prices. $150 for Main Level seating? [...]
This Should Be Fun: David Wells Gets A TV Job
From the AP: Opinionated former pitcher David Wells has signed a multiyear contract to serve as an analyst for TBS. The network will make the official announcement Tuesday. The 45-year-old Wells will work as a commentator for some Sunday regular-season games, forming a three-man booth with Chip Caray and either Ron Darling or Buck Martinez. [...]
Panic!! Panic!! Alert!!
I really can’t get enough of the front and back covers of the Daily News and Post during the season (and also not during the season when running baseball related stories). They are really hilarious in their attempts to sell papers by stirring up controversy and getting silly people to panic and I am easily [...]

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 [...]
Compiling 2009 Season Predictions (Part 2)
Part 1 is here. This year’s theme seems to be that the Reds will improve by a lot–I think this is faulty trying to find the next Rays logic. 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, [...]
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). What is important is the special prices they announced [...]
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 [...]
