thanks to stublatt for this one:

Reader Gary Cicio, NYC podiatrist, did the research, and asks us to choose one of the two options to see a Mariners-Yankees game this season, and from the very best seats:

Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.

Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle, Friday, Aug. 14, return Sunday the 16th, rental car for three days, two-night double occupancy stay in four-star hotel, two top tickets to both the Saturday and Sunday Yanks-Mariners games, two best-restaurant-in-town dinners for two. Total cost, $2,800. Plus-frequent flyer miles.

Not sure who needed that more, A-Rod, The Yankees or the fans.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

Did anyone see the Mets game tonight?  Wow...the Braves suck.  What a terrible team...why do they even bother fielding a team each night.  They should save themselves the frustration and just phone it in.  I would be embarrased to be wearing an Atlanta hat tonight.

that bad call on beltran sliding into third was a huge turning point.  Larry was pissed. lol.

Jerry Manuel is a complete idiot when it comes to managing the pitching staff.

Might have been a bad call on Beltran sliding into third, but it was also a bad call on Reyes being called out sliding into 3rd the previous inning.  The ball had beat him to the bag, but he wasn\'t tagged until his hands were on the base.

Jerry Manuel\'s handling of the the pitching staff in the loss the other night WAS TERRIBLE!  I don\'t understand how you can leave Feliciano in the game against a right handed batter when clearly he was managing for the inning.  You took Santana out to bring in Parnell...fine.  He gets the righty out...then you bring in Feliciano to bring in the lefty.  It was a bad break Reyes made an error to prolong the inning, but you don\'t leave in Feliciano to face a righty.  Right handed hitters are batting .350 against him and the guy who was up ONLY PLAYS AGAINST LEFT HANDED PITCHERS.  It really was poor managing.

But what is that now, 9 out of 11?  I\'m enjoying the roll we are on right now

Congratulations to Ortiz for finally getting his first home run.

Thank you RS for beating Toronto... 2-1/2 games out of first and 1 game behind boston doesn\'t sound too bad to me after the start we had...

As a baseball fan, I would love for David Ortiz to go on a tear and hit four or five home runs over the next couple of weeks, maybe even finish with 20 roundtrippers for the season. It would at least help validate his numbers from his assumed steroid years a little bit.

As a Yankee fan, I\'d love to see him hit no more HRs for the rest of the season...

Well Angels are finally getting a grip and are only 2.5 back of the Rangers.
Pads are about to win their 7th straight and are still 9.5 back of the dodgers but at least we see some life from them.

I wouldn\'t put too much stock in the Padres storming back... Any team that willing to deal its ace in May is not thinking playoffs.

hey Youk struck out 3 times last night too.  I won\'t argue though Ortiz has issues right now, but Santana is good.  It\'s great that he hit his first dinger of the year but that doesn\'t fix the fact that he\'s not hitting.
