I have said it multiple times, I have never seen a bad story published about him, I have never seen a story from an ex girlfriend of his, and there have been a lot. So yeah the guy could be the most humble person in the world for all I know. If he is more power to him I hope he keeps up helping the community. If hes not well then so be it, baseball unfortunately does not have the humanitarian award similar to the NFL as far as I know.

you dont seem to be the best judge of character then...

It's because he gives out gift baskets as if they are after dinner mints.

are you in the actual suite or the seats outside of it but still "part" of the jim beam suite?

i almost bought tickets for the seats outside of it which doesnt give you access to the actual suite...which is very misleading if you ask me lol

That's AWESOME, Syc.

In August I'm taking my dad to Wrigley (first trip to Chicago, for both of us). Baltimore is there and I can't wait to join in with the Cubbies fans and let the dirty Birds know they have NO chance of winning our division.

Nice. I made it to Chicago twice last year for Braves games against the Cubs and White Sox. And in September I'll be in the northeast for 5 more first time stadiums (Washington, Philly, both NYs and Boston), bringing my total to 14.

Here's views from my sections for those:

Braves vs Nationals

[Show spoiler]but way down at the 5th or 6th row

Marlins vs Phillies

[Show spoiler]

Marlins vs Mets

Orioles vs Yankees

Yankees vs Red Sox

You are going to love it. My one and only trip to Wrigley was a Saturday day game. It was in July and perfect weather. Hopefully your day will be the same.

Just FYI when posting pics of tickets. Tickets can be transferred by anyone if they have the barcode.

CC is officially done for the year. It's not mircrofracture surgery but, clean up. I have a feeling that we are going to get the Cole Hamils and Cliff Lee from the Phillies with us eating a chuck of both salaries (while I'm not crazy about it, we don't have much choice pitchingwise ). Also, we should talk to the Dodgers about Matt Kemp (we might have to eat a good portion of his contract) to platoon RF (and will give us some pop in RF as well) and the Rangers and Adrian Beltre (same rule applies contractwise) to do the same as well at 3B. If we take a those salaries, I believe we don't have to give up a lot (in terms of quality of prospects since they would be basically be salary dumps to us).

2. Tiger Stadium - Detroit (currently my all-time fave)
3. Comerica Park - Detroit
4. Municipal Stadium - Cleveland
5. Jacob's Field - Cleveland
6. Exhibition Stadium - Toronto (saw more games here than anywhere else).
7. Sky Dome - Toronto
8. Riverfront Stadium - Cincinnati

Did not know that....thanks for the heads up. If anyone tries to steal my tickets, I'll be able to confront them face to face, as we'll be at the same event, wanting the same seat. That would definitely be an interesting meeting.

Ya....Dirty Birds. If we get our starting lineup back, there's NO WAY the O's can compete with us.
