You know I always thought I could make money scalping but I believe in "ticket karma". That being said I have resold desirable games to pay for my plan and that is a win/win. Last year I'd sell the extra tickets I was allowed to buy on StubHub and that paid for my seat. It would not have bothered me if I was not able to buy extras. The club takes advantage of you at every opportunity so you need to take advantage when the ball is in your court too. In 2010...this just wasn't an issue.

Last Year I got (3) 13 game packages. So 39 games. I went to 11 of them. In the end I made $410. ($1,822.90 Cost - $2,232.90 sales)

So I got paid $410 to go to 11 games.

Haters gone hate

You either have a lot of friends that would like to buy tickets or stubhub made a killing off you. lol

stubhub. I made $410 after stubhub fees. They make a killing but I get to go for free (or get paid to go)

I just list all tickets and go to the games that dont sell. simple as that. I never pay for entertainment.

Play the game while you can! I know this might ruffle feathers but I feel if you are a true fan take any extra's that you can get.... I sold my extra pair of opening day tickets that I got yesterday and made a quick $150 profit. I used that to buy opening day tickets in Tampa. It really is very easy to do and does not require much effort. People who are very well off might find it crazy but when you ball on a budget like I do I am more than willing to put a little work in to make a few bucks to pay for my Orioles tickets.

I yearn for the good old days. When the Orioles were bad and towards the end of the year they had around 9.000 people in the stands. When you could not give away an Orioles ticket. When you could get all the tickets you want for Opening Day. When you had a whole row to yourself. When scalping and computers being overloaded was a pipe dream. Sometimes i think back to that summer of Atticus Finch,Tom Robinson, Boo Raidley. To Kill an Oriole Season by Harper Lee or Peter Angelos?

You must have had good seats. If I tried to sell mine for profit after stubhub fees I don't think they'd ever sell. :(

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Just to add something that hasn't been discussed, their infield defense was awful. I don't think that is the norm for them, especially Volpe. I expect Judge and the defense to be better the next time we face them.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Yes, but what five years, as it's more-or-less inevitable that he'll be out roughly 18 months for UCL surgery. And perhaps a 2nd after that. What is are TJ surgery odds in any given season for someone that touches 102? 25%? 33%? Basallo has a fair shot at getting 8,000, 10,000 or more MLB plate appearances. Miller might not face 2000 batters before his arm is wrecked.

      That's fair - it was competitive and I was never relaxed during this series until we went up big on Rodon. For me at least, a lot of the nail-biting was about pitching questions, and we managed to dodge a few bullets there: -Grayson bounced back from his rough start to pitch well, despite going on the IL later. -Bradish came back and looked entirely like Bradish.  -Pitching a man (and a closer) short in the bullpen didn't hurt us as the lesser guys like Akin, Webb, and Baumann stepped up well.

      I think if things come together for the Yankees, they're close to, but not equal to, us. That's because they should have 2 HOFers in the middle of their order and one at the top of their rotation, plus a better bullpen. But we have deep depth. By September, 1-9 in the order should be a real threat to opposing teams. Burns, Bradish and Rodriguez as a top 3 can compete with anyone. Plus defense in most positions. I'd still take us, but my head isn't in the sand about how good things could be for them if things come together instead of fall apart.

      Everyone bit their nails for 4 days and now that we've come out on top 3-1 we shouldn't pretend like this series and the Yankees weren't competitive.

      By LookinUp · Posted

      I agree that Miller would cost a lot in a trade. I also see his arm as a ticking time bomb. I don't agree that Basallo is anywhere near on the table for him. Based on that article posted earlier in this thread, guys I could see being interesting would include: Position Players: Bradfield, Horvath, Beavers, Fabian, Etzel, Willems, Tavera, Sosa, Liranzo, Arias, etc. Pitchers: a sweetener/headliner could include Bright, DeLeon, Weston, Chace, Sharkey (many here depending on the role in the trade) The point is that you could still put together a very attractive package for a team targeting 3+ years from now to win without including Basallo or any of our AAA guys.

      What was going on with him staring down Kremer on the HR? I've rarely if ever seen that, but then I dont exactly watch much baseball outside of the O's. It was a pretty in your face moment. Maybe Kremer brushed him back on some previous pitch I missed.
