    It's a lot of work to ride herd on this.

    From the Herald. I don't like the sound of this at all.

    The new system is much better than in previous years. I like that they show your position in line, because you can see progress. In previous years, the virtual waiting room was random and you could sit there all day. I got through this morning in less than half an hour. I got tickets for August against Oakland and September against Tampa. I tried for July tickets, but only standing room was available for both weekends in July. I had purchased my April and May tickets in December. I would like to get something for July.

    I don't think Pettitte will pitch more than 130 innings, nor win 10 games. That will not be enough to lift the Yankee Staff.

    I guess Cashman is looking for a Severance Package.

    That's surprising.

    The time line was a relevant issue for discussion and debate at the beginning of the offseason when some people were proposing that 2011 could be a bridge season. I looked at the minor league crop and concluded that there would be no major help coming from the minors before 2013, so I didn't see 2012 as the other side of the bridge. Once the FO opened up the wallet and started the spending spree on AGon, Crawford, Jenks and Wheeler it became evident that 2011 is not a bridge year. It's only relevant as a discussion point at this juncture out of boredom-- and to bet beer on whether my earlier sigged statement will be proved correct. Do you want some action? I'm on the hook for 4 cases of beer if I am wrong on both counts.

    I haven't questioned the ability of either Iglesias or Kalish to be a major league starter. The only thing I am debating here is the timetable. If Lowrie wins the SS job in 2011 and hits like he did at the end of 2010, it would be very difficult for Iglesias to unseat him in 2012.

    Definitely get the reserve tickets. They are under the overhang and out of the direct sun.
  15. a700hitter
    I got reserve tickets behind home plate. I bought them on line the first day they went on sale. They are $23 face, but each set cost $59 after S&H and convenience charges. Those fees are such a ripoff.

    Where on St. Pete's Beach did you get married? It is very beautiful there.

    I'm betting that Lowrie lays claim to the job during the second half of 2011.

    I got my Spring Training tickets the other day.

    I am a uniter not a divider, but unfortunately you will both be wrong on both counts.
  22. a700hitter
    Do you want a piece of the action? One case of beer per bet.
  23. a700hitter
    Bring back two cases of the stuff just for the bet. Put it aside, and the bet is on. One case for each bet. I'm betting that in 2012 Kalish will be a platoon player and Iglesias will be a back up.
  24. a700hitter
    You have no access to El Presidente anymore, so I have no interest in betting with you. If Iglesias gets no ML time in 2011, he will not get handed the starting job in spring 2012. Sig that and wait and see. Even if Kalish takes over for Drew in 2012, I don't see him as an impact player in 2012. He'll probably be platooned at the beginning.
  25. a700hitter
    I believe that Kalish no longer has rookie status with over 150 ABs. If Lowrie stays healthy, Iglesias will not get any ML time in 2011, and Lowrie likely will be the 2012 starter with Iglesias as a backup. Unless Lowrie or Scutaro get injured in 2011, Iglesias will not make an impact with the Sox before 2013.
