Only 38 (!) Days ‘Til Season Opener

Phillies tickets went on sale this morning, and for some reason people stood out in the cold to get regular season baseball tickets.

“I have a six-pack already, but I’m looking for–I don’t know what other games I’m looking for after that, but I’m up here to get some other games, probably two or three more,” Anthony told KYW 1060. He’s already in line and he’s not sure what games he’s going to get?

We are getting closer and closer to the season opener, March 31 against Washington. The biggest boring story of the offseason, Ryan Howard’s arbitration case, ended with a victory for the Big Man. He’ll get $10 million dollars, a record of some sort. I was rooting for Howard, if only because I wanted to root against Phils management. But now that Howard’s contract is settled, we can get on to exciting arguments like how to trade Wes Helms.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Rollins responds to the Mets’ Carlos Beltran, who said the Mets were the team to beat this year.

“One, there are four other teams in our division who are going to make sure that doesn’t happen. And two, has anyone ever heard of plagiarism?”

I am getting more excited for the season every day.
