The 2010 baseball thread

[Minnesota]

Not going  to a game till the 22nd this year. Its all good though, bought 8 pairs of tix for the season (from work... they have good seniority when it comes to season ticket holders) . Gonna be tempting not to put them on stub hub since they're second row first baseline and Target Field is the talk of the state this year. I've already been fending off friends and relatives ... ' hey if there's a game you cant go to I'll buy the tickets' ... yeah right, I think I'll take my chances on the free market first lol.

Twins lost game one, was surprised to see Matsui playing for the Angels this year. Did you guys see that play in the White Sox game? Wow, play of the year.

Just joined ANOTHER fantasy baseball league started by a bunch of my wife's friends from St. Louis.  Looks like they use every stat available, max of 6 roster moves (add/drop) a week.  Should be fun.  If there's extra spots and they are ok with me inviting people in, I'll let everyone know.

My team name in this league: Youkie's Chin Gophers.  My wife's team: John Kruk's Oddball.

Fun fact of the day: Coors Field is the 4th oldest pall park in the National League. Next year, it'll move up to 3rd.

Coors Field is also Super Awesome.

What are the 3 oldest parks and what is happening to them?

That's pathetic.  I used to love baseball.  I saved the box scores when I was a kid, but now it has lost most of its magic.

Right now in the NL, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium and wherever the Marlins play are older. Every other team in the NL has built a new stadium in the last 15 years, and the Marlins will be getting a new place next year. (The Al has ~7 stadiums older than Coors.)

It was just an odd piece of data that was brought up in the pre-game today. As someone who remembers 20th & Blake as being part of the bad area of town, it's odd to realize that it's now one of the old boys.

WOOHOO! Just bought my tickets for Sundays game! Go Rockies! 

I would have preferred to go Saturday, but the special discount I get was available for Sunday. A game is a game

Sweet! We may try to hit up a tour this am.
