Yes, It's really nice. I went for one of the first games when they played Indians. Had great seats. Def a fans ballpark.
They were giving away tickets for the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar in center field. Real nice bar, and you watch the game like you're playing center field.
Just bought tickets for Tuesday's night game against the Sux, sorry I meant Sox. $90 bucks a pop, not bad at all!

^ Nice ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
We were going to go to Reds/Cardinals tonight but I'm glad I didn't get tickets because it's supposed to rain. Might go Sunday though...discounted tickets through work![Woot](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif)
Oh and Micah Owings (pitcher) blasted a triple into the gap last night. Last I heard he has a career .351 batting average with a good amount of at-bats. I hope Dusty keeps using him more and more as a pinch hitter.

Cool Zero! My wife and I went Saturday, which was another loss against the A's, but a good game. The roof paid for itself that game, because it was pissing down rain the entire time.
That's great you got to see King Felix pitch, though it wasn't his best outing. What are your impressions of the Safe?

Dom DiMaggio passed away at 92. He was a fine player in his own right. ![RIP](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smitty.gif)

What a great game too, yea the M's lost, but it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole game. It was also 1/2 price ticket night and 1/2 price food night. What a great concept.
I love the fact their was a Starbucks in the stadium too.
I hope they got enough gas in their tank to add another banner to the rafters. It looks pretty empty up there.

That's great man. I feel the same way about the park. It's one of the gems in all of baseball. The more you go back the more cool things you find to enjoy. All kinds of neat little baseball touches everywhere. Coming from the Kingdome, this must be heaven.

Looks like it's right across the street. It's cool how you can still see the rain outside past the outfield when the roof is closed.

One less free-swinging hitter on the lineup!

Bobby Jenks fined $750 for intentionally throwing behind Ian Kinsler
$750, seriously??? He was stupid for admitting it, but why even fine him? If the league and Bud Selig wants to send a message, they should've suspended him or hit him with a bigger fine.
video of pitch--->http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=mlb
Asked if the two-out, ninth-inning pitch to Kinsler "got away from him," Jenks replied without hesitation:
"Yeah, I wanted to go in and send a message, and I think that message was sent.
Basically I was saying, 'I'm sick of seeing our guys get hit and hurt and almost get taken out of the game.' I threw it with intention."

The idiots were the White Sox announcers going ballistic on the umpire for issuing a warning. Everyone in the house knew it was intentional except for the homer clowns in the booth with some 50 years of experience.

I have no idea why he was out at a nightclub the night before he was pitching to the Red Sox...
