    just got back from noo yawk, caught mets v cardinals and a yankees v dodgers game, was legit

    cards are very good, execute perfectly - mets are ****en awful this year, gave away 7 unearned runs or something horrible, jeez

    yankees dodgers game was great, don mattingly back at yankees stadium as manager of the dodgers, got a nice reception - donnie baseball doing the biz

    highlight though was seeing mariano rivera in his last year, dude is a ****ing legend (y)

    Big few nights with dodgers & diamond back last spring training games against team orstrayla.

    Then the opening series. Only two games. For shame.

    Sunday isn't an exhibition. It's a ML game. Saturday/Sunday the first two games of the season.

    In a way they are exhibition games as they are introducing a foreign concept to Australia. Sure it's the first round of their season but in an attempt to attract new fans I don't see the point in jacking up the prices.

    Seems like a money grubbing excercise. Anyone know how much games cost too attend in USA on average?

    Don't really think it's "introducing a foreign concept" Australia has played baseball for a hell of a long time, just a minority sport.

    And you can get to a game for less than $20us

    And do you have any idea how much it would have cost to bring both MLB franchises out here to play for games in the opening round of the MLB season? Airfares, accommodation and appearance fees alone would account for most of these prices. And how much it costing to convert the SCG to a baseball field and back again?
    Same deal as with the EPL teams coming out here for friendlies, except the prices are higher as these games actually mean something.

    To who??

    Very few in this country

    I think the interest in this country for baseball is on par with the levels of interest of the 20-20 cricket comp in Bangladesh


    What a faarked sport.

    Intentionally repeatedly throw the ball wide of the batter so he can't hit it to walk him to 1st base. ****ing dog act.

    Have a go you ****s


    Whats even worse is the time it takes to play the game and that farking incessant wanky organ music.

    Prices actually were reduced due to poor sales. Platinum was originally $799.

    If it was decent teams I would have gone. Boston/Yankees/mets/Oakland/Texas.

    But no-one in la gives a shit why would I? And Arizona....
