Nope I was trying to get over for the Fire game, hey ho, meetings didn't quite time right so miss it by a week.
However I have just been invited to the Yankees v Red Sox game on 18 August in the Bronx.

I'm hoping for a partisan atmosphere as the last few games I've been to (Cubs v Angels & Yankees v Orioles & Rays) have been pretty disappointing, am I setting my hopes too high for this game, it's still early season as well.

The only thing you may run into at a yanks sox game at the stadium is a lot of non-regulars.

When you get a ticket package, it is obviously expensive, and most people try to sell a few games to break even.  The problem is that no one wants your M-T-W-Th yanks vs. mariners game.

So, to break even you usually sell one or two sox/yanks or mets/yanks tickets.  At least this is what I used to do (and what my friends would do).  That one ticket in the bleachers could get you $150 (and the 15 game pack only cost $325 to begin with).

So, long story longer, I usually found the sox/yanks crowds, especially on a weekend, to be a little different than usual.

Yep, you've gotta be wary of some of the Yanks fans that hang around in Stans before the game  ;)

A-Rod has broken his hand and is out for a couple of months. Not sure if this hinders or helps the Highlanders

Hanley Ramirez traded from the Marlins to the Dodgers

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/8197903/miami-marlins-trade-hanley-ramirez-los-angeles-dodgers

So much for the high expectations of success for the Marlins' first season in their new ballpark

He started off well, got a homer in his first at bat!

5 years, 6 days, 9 and a half hours.

Just looked at the standings and all but 1 team in the AL East is 5-5 over the last 10 games and the other is 4-6.

Has there ever been a Major League roster that was more of a bunch of "no-names" that the current Houston Astros squad ?
