Well, the stupid Angels lost again. Looks like the Tigers will open the post-season on the road against New York. I've got tickets to their first home game, on Monday. It'll be the first post-season game I've ever been to.
Not sure how old you are, but congrats. I saw every post season game the Astros were in.
When they finally made it into the World Series, I got shut out for tickets to game one.
So, because I always swore I would be at game one of the World Series if Houston made it in,
My buddy and I bought tickets from a ticket hub. For a pair of front row tickets in the second level,
we shelled out (ugh) $925.00 EACH.
But, I was there....and the game went down as the longest game one in history.
I got 1.5 hours of sleep that night before I had to go to work.
Even though the Astros lost in a heartbreaker, it was worth being there.
At least you know for the game you see, you won't see CC Sabbathia....(or Justin Verlander).
But you will enjoy the festival atmosphere.
