Default MLB Playoff Tickets

Well, despite the long-shot aspect of it (we have win 3 out of 4 and either the Royals or A's have to lose 3 out of 4), in honor of the 2007 Colorado Rockies, I still bought Mariner playoff tickets today.

Apparently there weren't many of us with faith - I was able to choose 6th row seats behind third base for the Wild Card game, and for the ALDS I got 1st row seats in my favorite outfield section - 30 minutes after they went on sale.

In Houston, or most anywhere else, I doubt you could have bought a ticket 30 minutes after they went on sale. Besides, season ticket holders had a 2-hour jump on me.

How are the rest of you doing for playoff tickets? Hopefully yours are less imaginary than mine.

I've got front row tickets right behind first base for the upcoming Yankees- Mets World Series.

No, something told me not to get ready to buy Braves' postseason tickets.

What was it? That's right...common sense.

When the Braves were still within 3-4 games of the WC, the analysis was that they HAD to make the playoffs - this being a big HOF-induction year for them, and all the recent near-misses. I don't think many people outside of Atlanta realized how good the Braves are at blowing opportunities. I lived there from 1994-2005, so I bought my share of ghost World Series ticket.

Hey Kevin - not trying to rub it in or anything. They did make one positive move the other day

Here's an amazing stat I read in the paper today:

In Derek Jeter's entire 20 year career, he never played a home game where the Yankees were not in contention for a playoff berth.

Until tonight. First and only time.

That's an amazing stat. I wonder if Robinson Cano is in the same situation, but lasting a bit longer since he is no longer with the Yankees?
