    +1. Have a few friends in the farm system. They make little to no money and they love the game. A family friendly and fun atmosphere for sure.

    I've wanted to go to a minor league game for the the longest time, I just never have. The Rangers AA affiliate is in Frisco, which is about forty-five minutes I believe.

    Looks like Matt Garza is going to be a Cub. And it would seem the Cubs got royally screwed in the deal.

    Their stadium is about 5 min from my new house actually. A co-worker of mine went to a Rough Riders game and got to see Ian Kinsler play when he was in rehab for an injury. They have an awesome facility up here in Frisco and the games are cheap to go to. Tickets above the dugout are about $14-$16 a piece I think. We are planning on going to a game this year.

    Nice. I haven't been to the park, but I've seen it in picture and it looks like a helluva place. I'm thinking about trying to catch a game myself this season.

    Kins is the man. So is Neftali Feliz.

    Agreed. Going into the season with a healthy Kinsler is going to be huge, he's underrated as far as what he brings to the lineup.

    Definitely. All those guys are super nice people. They would always hang out and sign autographs and shoot the sh!t before and after games at the spring training facility. Borbon is a cool guy, too.

    Dallas Greens grand daughter victim in Arizona shooting . What a senseless waste !!!
  • gmill880gmill880 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,947
    Oriole additions this off season : Derrick Lee 1B , JJ Hardy SS , Mark Reynolds 3RD , Vlad Guerrero DH , Finally a true clean-up hitter and 3 other guys who can smash the ball , a huge offensive up-grade. Duchscherer (sp) SP, Kevin Gregg R, Uhera R , Accardo R , Hendrickson R , a respectable acq . Starting pitching will tell how far we go BUT a very respectable offense with pitching with very real major league potential for the first time since probably 96 or 97 . Will be an exciting team to watch and capable of beating anyone on any given night. Now the real question is do they have the ability to beat anyone on 2 out of 3 any given nights ??? I say yes ... but I am biased . GOOOO OOOO's !!!

    the problem for the O's is they could win 90 games and come in 4th in their division... but they did make some nice additions... they need some of that young pitching to grow up really fast...
