The MLB Thread

I'm going to be rooting for the guy at the beer stand!

ok, I'm a total noob when it comes to pro sports, but can i just buy tickets to an O's game?

seems like when I go to the O's site it only has season tickets?

ticketmaster doesn't sell them
all I can see is stub hub and the like?

man this sounds really urgent…what with opening day months away and all?

who you taking, President Obama?

I just want to pay face value…not sure why it's so hard to navigate the site
but apparently this game has not gone on sale yet??

I'm sure all the baseballheads are annoyed my my sullying up their thread

but if you must know I've got an Isis contingent coming in town and they really want to get seats close to home plate

maybe they are not on sale yet?

preseason tickets go on sale tomorrow it looks like..

i wish people would stop calling it ISIS..they are not a state.. they are a bunch of terrorists and fuckups….to call them "Islamic State" gives them a legitimacy they have not earned… it takes more than chopping a few heads and setting off a few bombs to be a "State"…

these guys buddy

I don't see much upside there…..unless they change their name like yesterday I'd say you don't need to worry about taking them anywhere….

sorry wrong guys…these guys



although those pharma guys really know how to party!

…I know my trolling isn't going to help my ticket acquisition but this board it d-e-a-d
what did some presidents have a birthday?

getting back on topic i tell you one thing: Red Sox and Yankees games at Camden can be tough tickets and with the Orioles doing so well last year….it will be even harder to score 6-7 good seats together…a box would I imagine be pricey…..but I suppose you can bill it as a business expense….

those Yankee and Red Sox people come out of the woodwork and drive hours for those games at Camden because they are really cheap compared to games at Yankee Stadium or Fenway….

a friend of mine back in the Golden Age (not the Iron Age) used to have three seats about 20 rows straight behind home plate…. man I got spoiled….there's nothing like watching a game from over there.. you can actually see what the pitcher is doing!

I'm fairly certain you benefited from some of the my brief golden age of free tickets to Os games…
(although you still haven't forgotten me for that last dead show) ;)

I have friends in Anaheim who used to pay for their season seats simply by selling their Yankees and Red Sox seats for ridiculous amounts.  However, since MLB increased interleague play, the number of AL East games has been reduced so they can only pay for 3/4 of the games.

It's a win-win for them because they're the worst fans to watch a game with, so sell those and pay for the other 72 home games….

well… I was going to say you're right but I think Philly fans take the overall prize….

$100M guaranteed thru 2019.  Nice.

The only reason that happens is to give the guys upstairs time to study the replay to determine if they should challenge or not.  What happens now - a timeout?
