Monday in the Big Apple

Good morning my loyal and faithful readers. I hope everyone had a great weekend. This being Monday, errands and stuff are on my agenda, so this missive will be somewhat shorter than usual. What is that? Do I hear applause in the background? Be careful what you wish for. You are warned!!

Well, on to the post season. As you know, The Rays won the AL East outright and will host the Rangers and Cliff Lee on Wednesday.

The Yankees, who limped in as wild card, play the Twins in Minn. on Wednesday @ 8:30 with ace CC Sabathia on the mound. Two games there. The first home game is Saturday @ 8:30 and the 2nd, if necessary, on Sunday, starting time not yet announced. As previously reported, I have tickets to all post season (including the World Series) home games in my regular season seat.

A bit of information in response to a message from a FaceBook friend-->post season ticket prices are determined by Major League Baseball, not by the individual teams. The season ticket price for my seat is $70 per game, reflecting a $10 discount for being a season ticket holder. The day of game price is $90. These are the post season prices:

Division Series - $60

Championship Series - $120

World Series - $160

Last year World Series tickets in my section were selling on Stub Hub for $400-$500 a seat

The Gators fell out of the Top 10-->barf!! We are 7 1/2 point favorites over unbeaten LSU in The Swamp. Go figure.

Billi Pod’s report card on THE DIVINE SISTER-->very funny and just what I needed. It has an open run, so my Big Apple readers-->see it if you can.

Tonight-8:00-->BORN FOR BROADWAY-“a benefit for the Christopher Reeve Foundation-hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford-featuring dozens of Broadway performers.”

In the name of fair and unbiased reporting, Billi Pod has to admit that it actually will be kinda nice to have a break from baseball, for a couple of days that is.

Oh, just compiled the entertainment stats for September and they are pretty awesome. Will post later today.

Got things and stuff to do, so ...

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
