Baseball Season 2011

[Barry Izbak]

Three weeks now until the start of the 2011 season on March 31st and I am very excited to report that I have just bought tickets to see the World Champions at AT&T park on Fourth of July!

SAN DIEGO PADRES @ SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS​

Obviously not my team, but its a live game in the NL so what's not to like?

But as the evenings start to get lighter here, the sun comes out, Albion Flyer is winning races, The Albion are on a charge to the Championship and Falmer is nearly finished, how could things get any better?

Yes its the start of the baseball season.

I am officially very excited to be going to at least one game this year.

Anyone else got plans to take in a ballgame?

 

[So.CalGull]

Oh yes. The mighty Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim....or whatever they will call themselves this season...better know round these parts as the Angels.

The "Big A" stadium is an easy 20 minute drive away, many week day and night games...and I wil take my 3 year old to his first game this year.

Happy days.

I'm sure I'll take in a few Angel games this season. Not sure yet about the Padres & Giants.

Its the only game we can make on the trip. Just the guys though. Girls going shopping.

Went to AT&T last august take a warm coat it was cold even then in the SFO mist

Good idea to get tickets early though; I'm sure it will be a sell out with fireworks etc. after the game.

Glad to see the Flyer is running well.

I’ll probably go to a few Mets games as they have announced they’ll be dropping their prices at Citi Field by 15% following last years less than impressive performance. See how they do with their new manager Terry Collins.

Was hoping to catch the Rays in early April but they're away when I'm over there

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Won't be getting to Sarasota this year so won't see the Rays either. Shame - just love spending time on the West Coast of Florida and taking in a few games at the Tropicana Field.

 

[Biscuit]

The ten largest baseball stadiums hold between 46,000 - 56,000 people.

Just some ballpark figures for you.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Tropicana Field hopefully to see my Rays. The whole area is indeed lovely and the mrs. has only been to Orlando so doesn't know what she's missing (other than seeing the beaches in a sunday supplement and asking where that is...... oh the luck of it!)

 

[Mtoto]

Will be following from afar as usual unless some miracle gets me across to the US before November. Can't see past Philly now that the wonderful Cliff Lee has joined the rotation. They're only 4-1 top price, but that's with Sportingbet, and if you haven't got an account already they'll match your first bet. So it's the Phillies at 8-1 for me this year.

 

[johnhammond]

I'll be going to a few Mariners games through the year (although probably waiting until the summer, it'll be hard to sit around in the cold/damp if they're as bad as last season).

 

[portlander]

Only one team worth watching in the AL this year, and that's my Red Sox. Already had solid starting starting pitching and have added Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, and a slew of bullpen help. of course I would never have said this before 2004, but with a weakened Tampa and a Yankee team that has little pitching, we really should walk the AL East.

 

[Mental Lental]

Thanks to the dodgy play-off system copied off the Americans my JBL team managed to win the Japan series despite only finishing third in their respective league.....

Will have to go to a few more games now they are the CHAMPIONS.

+ Chiba Lotte Marines have a SEAGULL on their badge.

 

[Citrus]

Got my opening night ticket for the Jays. Can't wait, baseball season means start of summer - not long now.

i'll remind you of that if you arent up by 10 games by the All-Star break..

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Looks like the NL East favorites the Phillies might have a few injury problems. Dominic Brown has been sidelined for at least 3 months after breaking his hand last week and Chase Utley’s injured knee has not responded to cortisone shots and there is some doubt he may play at all this season. Manager Charlie Manuel is said to be very concerned about his No. 3 hitter.

 

[AZ Gull]

I'm going to my first spring training game of the year tomorrow (Dodgers @ the Oakland A's); forecast high is 83F. March is a GREAT time to be in Arizona. 3 more spring training games and then I'll be at the D'backs home opener against the Reds on April 8th.

here we go again!!
