I hope my dad remembers to buy tickets to the D-backs first Sunday Spring Training home game. That's probably the only Cactus League game I will go all season.

I can't wait for people to start live tweeting spring training games...

Just bought myself a $10 ticket (tickets just went on sale and they have a 48 hour window where you could get that price) for the All-Star Game Fan Fest for the Monday session. That is pretty much the only event I can afford to splurge for! LOL Cheapest lower level (I can't deal with heights too well) seat for All-Star Sunday is $95. HR Derby & the game itself are not yet open for public sale.

Making a quick weekend trip out of it. Buddy's place is across the street from the Cubs spring training facility. Taking in Rockies/Cubs and then Devils/Coyotes on 3/11. Return flight was annoyingly expensive, thankfully I don't have to worry about hotel.

It also goes into weakest position by team over this period which shows how good the Cardinals have been as a franchise.

I'm well aware unfortunately. Between them and the Packers my Cubs and Bears have arguably the 2 best managed teams in sports in their divisions.

I hope you are not saying the Bears are one of the best managed teams.....

Wow corporate espionage is now considered well managed?

For whatever this is worth, the Phillies have not had a baserunner through six innings against the Yankees.

I won't post alot about Spring Training, but I'm so happy to hear Jon Miller's voice on the Radio again. Spring Training was made for Radio.

They won multiple World Series before the scandal.

In fact, both New York teams lost no-hit bids in the 7th today.

Can someone familiar with Cactus League give me an impression of how difficult getting walk up tickets are for those teams?

Planning on going to KC, Giants, Brewers or Dodgers/WS, Diamondbacks, and Seattle/SD the week of March 20th. I have no issues buying off Stubhub, but I've ruled out the Cubs because I don't want to pay that much for an pre-season game.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Would love to see guys like Barreto and Puk make the roster if they're ready.

Exciting spring to gauge some of the up and coming talent.

Check out Groupon for Camelback - think I saw a deal for $5 off, so $12 for the cheapest non-lawn tickets IIRC.

I'll be out there the 15th through the 22nd. Umpiring the 1st 4 days, then will see the SOX at Camelback and Surprise, and then go to Salt River Fields the day I leave.
