dude i work with is from ct and is a yankees fan...just bought tix for tonights game on stub hub for 70 bucks.

they're giving tickets away up there!

Didn't Fixer say he paid $110 a ticket for lower level day of game recently? Good luck getting that at YS.

I looked at stubhub for WS tixx last year. Games in Philly were clearly more expensive. I was thinking about buying Game 6 or 7 because it would've been cheaper, even with driving up there and all.

And I guess I should talk something Phils related - all the wedding crap was outta the way by like 730, so it was all good. A slew of us watched game one in the lobby. Bad news - other than the loss - was that the bourbon was flowing a little too well and I was asking for the key to the room to pass out by 10. Yeah, I know. A buddy of mine said, "You know he's(talking about me) fucked up when I care about the Phillies more than he does." So I don't have a lot to add when it comes to game 1 other than now it's a 5 game series, both pitchers pitched decent but no where near great, especially Doc, and there is no way he pitches poorly back-to-back. As long as they hit a little bit they should win game 5. Didn't feel good about Ross going into this series. He just kills the Phils. But, we know he can hit the ball far in the one spot over the plate. Next time I would put one near his chin, then keep it low and away. Dude's got a long swing. Either go low away, or, high & inside.

Oswalt was outstanding last night obviously, but I don't get how the lineup let Sanchez get into the 7th. It's like they forgot to work his pitch count after that 1st inning. Howard had a great night in my eyes. Did everything the opposite of what he usually does against lefties, so maybe he's finally getting it. I like Hamels tomorrow, and LOVE Cain on the mound for them. We have always hit him well, and he's the perfect pitcher for them - nothing too deceptive in his motion, typical hard throwing righty who paints. Like our chances a lot tomorrow. And if the Phils can work over Buttgarner(see what I did there?) like Sanchez, then I think they can get to him. Don't mind Blanton on the mound, just don't like all the time off he's had.

Not suprising, smaller stadium, rarely in the world series, gigantic bandwagon in town.

Actually, it was the Phils' 2nd straight WS, and the Yanks' first in 6 years. Also, as far as the stadium size goes, isn't the NY metro area, what, 3x as big as Phila? Sorry Cliffy, you're dead wrong on this one.

Come on. Twice in 2 years is a bit different than the Yanks. I agree about the metro area but you are not really comparing apples to apples, they are completely different cities.

In all honesty, I dont really understand what you are getting at. Because playoff tickets are more expensive in Philly right now you are a better fans? When I moved here in 2006, aside from the Sixers, Phillies tickets were the easiest ticket in town. There is a running joke at my office that it was impossible to give away our season tickets 4 years ago, now it is impossible to get them. So since your team is good and people are willing to pay out of the ass that makes you great fans?

I don't think the Phillies fan base is great, by any means. There were all kinds of empty seats in the 9th inning last night. Huge contingent of fair weather fans. But you were trying to say that it's cheaper to get Phils playoff games than Yanks, and that's just not true.

Phils fans are just like Yanks fans; they'll turn out for a winning team. It's been a long time, but those crappy Yankees teams of the late 80s/early 90s couldn't draw flies.

Yankees didn't start drawing until 98. Won't argue that, I dont think they drew 3 million until 99. I also didn't say that it was cheaper to get into Phillies for the playoffs I simply stated that because someone got a ticket for $70 today does not mean they are not selling since Fixer got lower level for around $110 or something. Tickets drop day of game. I then agreed that Phillies tickets are more expensive and said why I thought so.

That's fine. I'm bored with this debate. I just don't want to hear this shit about Yankees fans being so great and loyal and whatever. Yeah, I know you never said that, but others on that thread have quite the high and mighty attitude.
