The contrast is stunning and embarrassing.

Yesterday during the Twins ("my" AL team) spring training game they would keep cutting to the ticket centers at the new Target Field and it seemed somewhat busy, sales were seemingly going good. Also see: Coming into Saturday, half of all tickets were already sold after a record-setting campaign that saw the Twins sell 22,000 season tickets, twice as many as last year.

The Pirates ticket staff and commentators basically beg on their knees that someone please buy some tickets, because there's so many great budget plans, partial season tickets, and they seem more interested selling fireworks nights, bobbleheads nights, concerts etc. instead of the ballgames. So please, please, buy some tickets! :blush:

The Twins are actually good.

The pirates remind me of of my nephew's little league team. There is one kid eating dirt, the outfield is tuned out, and the 3rd base coach is hitting on the MILF's in the stands.

I know. They also don't ooze that corporatism so much that you get with some of the big East Coast teams. Vikings still suck, though.

Well, they did have Kent Tekulve around. He has changed.

QuoteRed Sox prospect Westmoreland out of ICU at Phoenix hospital
Updated 6h 53m ago |  Comment    | 

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Boston Red Sox minor league prospect Ryan Westmoreland (FSY) was moved out of the intensive care unit and into the neuro rehabilitation unit at the St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix on Friday.

According to Dr. Robert Spetzler, Westmoreland's neurosurgeon and the director of Barrow Neurological Institute, Westmoreland will undergo physical and occupational therapy.

"Ryan is right on track and we expect progressive improvement," Dr. Spetzler said.

"We are thrilled for Ryan and his family that the surgery went so well," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said. "While we recognize that the recovery process is long and complicated, we are excited that all of the early indications are so positive. On behalf of the Westmoreland family, we thank everybody who has expressed concern and support for Ryan."

Westmoreland, a highly regarded 19-year-old outfielder, had surgery on Tuesday to remove a cavernous malformation in his brain.

A cavernous malformation of cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal or dilated blood vessels that affects the central nervous system. Symptoms can include bleeding in the brain, seizures and headaches.

He left minor league camp on March 4 and was diagnosed the following day at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Attention people:  We need one more team at the least for this year's LFBBL.  Talk to Katmai asap!

If one more person is interested, you can join in as well Syt.  I prefer more teams than we have now (8) anyway.

QuoteYour league currently contains an odd number of teams

You must have an even number of teams in order to determine schedule and draft.

If you're actually planning on paying attention to it, you can stay and I'll leave.  I was just going to put it on autopilot like last year and see how (badly) it turns out.
