They want the tickets in-hand, so there’s no scramble to get them out. There wouldn’t be enough time to take orders, print, distribute, etc., if they waited until the teams/times/places were known. <br /><br />And yes, they will credit our credit cards if the games don’t take place… at least for those of us that bought them online as non-season ticket holders. I believe that season ticket holders got the first shot at tickets, and for them if the game doesn’t happen, the team holds the money and applies it to the next season’s tickets.<br /><br />Lastly, thank you for being there for me, through the dark times, when everyone else was too busy, uninterested, or fighting with their wi-fi service.<br />bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-1708253771168203822012-10-05T18:02:37.024-04:002012-10-05T18:02:37.024-04:00If the O’s make the ALDS, I’ll be up in Section 21...If the O’s make the ALDS, I’ll be up in Section 212 Sunday night, adding a little hot pepper to the upper crust in the Club Section.

And I did confirm that the game will be televised here, so if the O’s do make it in, and it is an afternoon game, I can DVR the Steeler game. Win/win.<br /><br />I’m fortunate that I can still remember 2 Pirates championships, the latter of which was won the same year as a Steelers Super Bowl. We lived in Ohio, and boy, were we ever insufferable to be around that year… lol… <br /><br />I just missed being around for the Pirates 1960 World Series, but my parents were there. Dad had a pair of tickets to games 6 and 7. (they cost 2.50 each, if you can believe that)<br />bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-92078537783781971342012-10-05T18:01:15.863-04:002012-10-05T18:01:15.863-04:00I agree… I have been having fun as a poo-flinger. ...I agree… I have been having fun as a poo-flinger.

I’ve got my Lamarr Woodley Steelers jersey on over an Orioles t-shirt. I also wore an O’s ballcap. I’m trying to cover all bases.<br /><br />I was thinking about reaching out to you to send some juice over to your Sox, for a little help in taking out the Yankees, but then I realized that if you really did have any influence, they wouldn’t be in the tank like they are this year. #Disarray the Rays certainly weren’t phoning it in those last 3 games.<br /><br />If they O’s get into the ALDS, I guarantee you’ll be able to read about my experience down at The Yard. But I’m really, <i>really</i> worried about the Wild Card game tonight. The O’s have lost their last 5 of 6 in Arlington. We’re pitching a guy we just picked up from the D-backs, who’s 0-6 lifetime in Texas and he’s up against a 16 game winner. They are definitely going to need some Orioles Magic.<br /><br />Thanks for trying on the retail comments… I think I saw one or two from you on the early posts, but no one but Mundane has commented on the last 2, leading me to believe the story arc is running out of steam. I’ll definitely finish though. There’s still some quality material to share.<br />bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-4708262612219131032012-10-05T13:47:57.686-04:002012-10-05T13:47:57.686-04:00I'm officially cheering for a Washington/Balti...I'm officially cheering for a Washington/Baltimore World Series.

The hubs was actually able to score tix for both the Thursday night game (O's v Yanks playoff for AL East) AND Friday night for wildcard playoff game. But noooooooo. Someone (ahem) had to go and screw it up!! I'm looking right at you Bluhz. :p<br /><br />We do have tix for Sunday's game as well, and I am also hoping it's a night game. I really want my son to get to experience the playoff buzz. So many fingers and toes crossed. Don't go saying anything about it, ya hear???

Who knew that baseball would be the model of everlasting labor peace? I guess the trade-off for not having a work stoppage is not having a salary cap. <i><b>Donald Fehr!!</b></i> ::shakes fist in the air:: <br /><br />I think I might have to root for Texas in the WC playoff because I can't see the O's beating NY. Stopping the Yanks from "winning" a 28th title is all I have left. God, I am so ashamed to be a Red Sox fan right now... they had a chance to deny NY their 4,000th division title and they shit the bed. Un-freaking-believable. Though I must say the comment from Buck Showalter about hoping the Sox do them a favor made me chuckle, since they spoiled our playoff hopes at the end of last season. <i><b> Andinooo!!</b></i> ::shakes fist in the air::<br /><br />If TX wins they'd better beat the Yanks and win the effing WS this time, or they'll be the Buffalo Bills of baseball. If the O's win I'll expect a good blog post or two about your game(s)... and they'd better hope Cal Ripken comes out of retirement. Or Jim Palmer. I met him a few years ago, and I don't know how old he is but the man looks like he could strike out A-Rod <i>right now</i>. <br /><br />Speaking of blog posts, I have been enjoying your retail stories and if you didn't get any comments about them from me it was because the wi-fi on the train went in and out while I was reading blogs and my internet connection froze just as I hit 'publish' to comment on yours. <i><b>Amtrak!!</b></i> ::shakes fist in the air:: <br />Maybe it got through, maybe not. Reagrdless, keep sharing those stories and I'll do my best to comment on them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
