Baseball Season

BCheezy · 03-24-2008, 09:44 AM

Ah yes, finally, some baseball. Anyone here as pumped as I am for the season to start on Tuesday? How many fans we got up in here? Watching baseball is a great thing to do over the summer when things get dull. I'm going to have my pizza ordered, and get my fantasy draft online rolling all right around 3oclock on Tuesday.

Yes , yes our season starts today with the opener in N. Y. Yay Blue Jays ..... Roy Haliday .... You rock.

I love baseball. My wife and I try to make it to at least one Mariners game each year. If we didn't live six hours away we would probably buy season tickets.

Even if you live in the city where they play the tickets are outragessly expensive. And I don't like sitting up in the so called "bleeder seats"

Finally, some more fans get up in here. Well Dusty, your BJ's got rained out in New York. Double header tomorrow I guess. Fantastic start for my Mariners, and the Angels even lost too!! Good game, decent start for Bedard, but his only direction is up from here. It's expected that we take this series, so I'm glad we didn't figure out a way to screw up the beginning. The lineup could put together some better hits, but I'm glad we succeeded in those situations with big hits from Lopez and Ibanez.There are some things that I question. Why does McLaren stick the guy who had the worst batting average on the team last year in the 4 hole??? You have Ichiro batting first because he gets on base, Lopez 2nd because he works the count deep, and Ibanez because he hits for RBIs and good average. And then, the rally killer comes up. Hello???? Adrian Beltre for the 4 hole???

But anyways, Dusty, you say the seats are too expensive? That's not at all so. It costs 20 dollars to sit in the first 5 rows of the 300 level right behind home plate. In my opinion, that is where one of the best views are. You gotta try it up there if you havn't. The only time the 300 level is bad is if you are too many rows up, or in the outfield portion of it. If you stay low and within the bases, you have a stellar view. $20 tix.

I just remembered something. When I was a kid, my cousin and I were way up north at his cabin. Not much to do, so we were just taking turns pitching and hitting. While I was pitching to him, he hit the ball as well as anyone. Hit me right in the middle of the forehead. I went down fast.

Maybe that’s why I don’t care much for baseball.

Might answer some questions about my mental faculties as well.

Hey Dean .... I had the same experience with golf. I was standing next to my friend when we were practicing and she swung around and hit me . I went down and she thought she had really hit the ball hard until she saw me on the ground.

Hey BCheezy.... Yah I know and I hope I can see it on TV as yesterday it was not showing. I don't know anywhere , where there are $20 seats in the Rogers Center. It is very expensive but am going to try and find out . I usually have a cousin who comes from near Detroit and he has season tickets for the Tigers so he seems to get really good seats here. I have been to see the Tigers in Detroit several times.

I didn't get to watch much of the game, Where do they have Sexson batting? He should be in the 4 hole.
