Masterson is tough. Sweep em Royals

The 2nd game will not be televised per MLB rules. The Tigers and Braves have the stupid national TV Sunday night baseball exclusive game. (The Boston thing was a one-time special exemption)

Just means that FSKC will (more than likely) pick up another game later.

In for 2 wins

Damn, might have to go to #2 then.

That sucks. Oh well, hope to take at least one today.

It sucks that they just don't make this a straight double header. The crowd would be much better for game two if people didn't have to pay twice to watch it. I miss the good ole days. Damn kids, get off my lawn!

Let's get it! Salvy: Unbelievable!

Sweep 'em!

Go to the game if you can guys. We don't get weather like this very often. I'm going to #1 and then to see the black keys tonight. Stoked!

I think I'm going too, what's the best way to score tickets for a rescheduled game? I know google, but you guys know any great sites for tix?

Masterson is tough.

Just get them at the stadium, its not a sellout.

I like deals. :thumb:

Found 4 3rd row seats, section 143, for $10 a piece on ticketliquidators.com.
