Baseball Season 2012

[Stat Brother]

I'm thinking of going to a game, at the end of the season.

Where's the best place to sit in the $40 -$70 price bracket?

It really depends on which ball park you are going too? Most grounds offer discounted seats in the outfield, this is normally in the sunshine and quite often feature all you can eat offers so all your food would be included. Personal preference always comes into play. The most expensive seats are behind home plate but personally I prefer to be either first base or third base line. More chance of catching a ball that way too and you see more of the action.

AZ Diamondbacks for me. I have family in Phoenix and have been to 2 of their matches, one of which was in San Francisco.

Lets go D-Backs, was at a game last year v the Dodgers, Tatman hit a walk off grand slam homer in the bottom of the 10th to win the game....unbelievable!

If I go I'll be going to Nat'nals Park to see Bryce Harper.

At least with the Packers, the other half of my possible bucket list trip, I know were I stand (or sit in this case). I can't afford the cheapest.
21 separate prices for 1 stadium seems a little excessive.
Washington Nationals Ticketing

I'm having trouble finding a live feed of The Nat'nals.

It sees the MLB has it locked down better than the NBA & NFL.

Any help?

And so we arrive at the All Star break.

Yankees in first no surprise but the Orioles in second! I've only been watching baseball since 1985. I can't remember seeing Baltimore so high at half way
The rest of the AL pretty much going to form.

On the senior circuit, I am sure they are singing a version of the old North Stand favourite "The NL East is upside down" Not only are the Nats on top buy the Phillies have just a .430 record and are 14 games back.
There is also something odd going on in the NL central. Not a great surprise that the Cubs and Astros are slugging it out for the wooden spoon (and indeed for the worst team in baseball with the Rockies of the NLW) before the end of June, not frankly that your World Series Champion St Louis Cardinals are 3 games back, but to the Pirates? FFS

Predictions at half way

Dodgers win WS in 6 games over the Yankees

 

[Gazwag]

This time last year I was excited - but not even I would have dreamed that The St Louis Cardinals would be World Series Champions seven months later

Not this season though, I can feel your pain from here, Giants are definately the come back kids in the post season that's twice in two they have done it

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Its in the bag..........

The Tigers deserve to be slight favourites but personally I'm a bit surprised to find the Giants are 6-4 on Betfair. The last three teams to reach the WS with a sweep up against a team that had gone to 7 games in its championship series all got beaten, including Detroit six years ago vs St Louis. All went down in no more than 5 games too. The Tigers have apparently been a lot busier during this extended break than they were last time, when I seem to recall they were also favourites for the WS, but it's still a worry. A lot of the confidence depends on Verlander getting two wins too, and while he is as good as any big-game pitcher in the business, he was 17-8 in the regular season, not 25-0. The Giants have four games at home, if they could carry the momentum through to Wednesday night while the Tigers and Verlander come back a bit rusty, they could be up and running.
