A few ago when the Cubs-Red Sox played we bought tickets the day they went on-sale, I think it was in mid February.

Got the hotel room already. Was hoping to score tickets for regular price but may have to go by other means.

Game tickets LOL

who cares, I have gone for 4 years now and they are always sold out. But they release tickets all the time. Last year when we went in August they games were all "sold out" but 2 days before the game they released tickts and we could have sat anywhere we wanted.

I have never bought tickets for the Baltimore series any sooner than 2-3 weeks before the game.

As soon as Baltimore put up their tentative 2008 schedule in late October I started looking for hotels for that weekend. All the good hotels downtown were going for $140-$190 per night -not bad- so I booked two rooms (@$140 per night) for that whole weekend, 3 nights figuring if the schedule is wrong I can just cancel. About a week later when they confirmed the dates those same hotel rooms were going for $300-$400 a night.

Last year we stayed 15 miles from the stadium at a crappy hotel, the rooms were cheap but the cab rides were $50 each way. I'd rather pay a little more and stay downtown and not have to pay for a cab.

I was thinking about how ironic it is Marion Jones is going to prison for her lies and Palmero is getting off. Had to wonder if it was all those years he played for Texas has anything to do with his current situation. So I Googled Palmero and found others have similar perspectives...

Rafael Palmero 1 vs. US Senate 0

by Walid

There is no doubt that Rafael Palmero is a great baseball player. But this week the talented athlete showed he has also mastered the black art of Washington D.C. politics. Palmero, the well know baseball star, testified under oath in a congressional hearing that he had "never used steroids or other performance enhancing drugs." Yet less than 6 weeks later he tested positive for the banned drugs. Positive drug test in hand , sworn congressional testimony on tape; the US Attorneys Office has an open an shut case for perjury. Think again.
Embarrassed Republican lawmakers have been forced to give Rafael Palmero a free pass. Political analyst Ben Lion explained Palmeros narrow escape from justice. "It just doesn't look right, a drugged up professional baseball player gets busted lying to congress while the treason of Karl Rove and Robert Novak goes unpunished. If outing a CIA agent for political payback isn't considered worthy of prosecution then ball players can shoot up whatever they want. "

Speaking to his fans Palmero thanked all those that allowed him to go free. "First I would like to thank the US Attorneys Office for caving into political pressure and not prosecuting me, Second I would like to thank Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Judith Miller and Robert Novak, You all help remove the public stigma associated with telling lies to congress. Last but not least I would like to thank President George W. Bush. without the Presidents consent none of this corruption would be possible.

Palmero however, is not celebrating. While he escaped the justice of the US government he is still facing the ultimate justice of the Baseball commissioner. In-light of his offenses Rafael Palmero will suffer a two week suspension. Palmero has indeed shown himself a master at a great American sport and he's also pretty good at playing baseball.
