You guys laugh, but if they're mailed Friday, you'll probably get yours on Saturday or Monday. Let's say by Monday they've won 3 of 4. What then? Things look a little better, don't they?

When I get my invoice, I'm probably going to buy some. You never know.

Playoffs? Playoffs? Who the hell do they think they are? Sending out playoff tickets when the team has already been eliminated. Man I oong for those days of being 20 games out by july. Man how a winning season has turned some into almost unbearable. I don't know how some made it through 14 straight losing seasons.

I don't think you actually have to pay upfront anymore. I think last year they had the option of just giving them your credit card info and they would only bill you for games played. It's not like it used to be where you had to pay for every single round and possible game in advance and then not getting a refund until December or have the option of rolling it into next year.

The new ticketing system makes this possible because they can send you the tickets in advance and then just cancel the barcodes if your credit card doesn't go through. It used to be that in order to send you all the tickets, they would have to get payment upfront because you really couldn't void a ticket.

I'm not complaining. I love seeing the playoff invoices. Last year was the first time I'd seen one in many years.

No, last year you had to pay in advance. I think you could choose to get a refund or have the money applied to your next season tickets. Which meant that my invoice for this year's ticket was agreeably low, so that's nice. I'll probably plunk down my money now.

    • Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him. 
    • Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.
    • Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.
    • Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.
    • I would definitely do Westburg  and Cowser.
    • 100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
