Kevin, my friend will let them go for $50 each but no less. If you’re interested please tell me as fast as you can. Otherwise he’s going to see if anyone around here wants to buy them. He said he’d wait til I hear from you.

Also, I have a lot of tickets available for many of the games. All of the Boston games are there but the person selling them definitely wants to make money because some of the games cost more than the others. I’m thinking that these are season tickets. My best friend works with someone whose son in Philly owns these tickets. I am going to find out where the seats are. It looks like they are all weekday games. I will probably do at least one of the Boston series. It looks like there are two tickets for each game.

The game I want the most, the final game of the season, isn’t there.

Gross!!! I’m in Norwalk so I’m relatively close. $100 is big time! I’m a couple sections over from you, but got mine for face value

Kevin – where are you in Connecticut? I don’t think he’s going to give the tickets away. We paid $100 each.

Still interested?

I swear to God I am not making this stuff up! I just spoke to my friend and he found out that someone in his family may have to have emergency surgery on Monday in Boston and he may have to drive up there. He’s the one I was going to drive in with. He’s calling me back when he finds out for sure.

Did you ever get the feeling that the forces are conspiring against you?

Trisha you never mentioned if your ticket for Opening Day was given away or not?!

I think I may be married to J-Train.

My husband believes that when the Yankees are losing on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, if I take the kids in the backyard or in the pool, the Yanks come back. Personally I think it’s his swearing at the TV that brings on the comeback. Getting the kids in the pool just allows him to do that.

I’m with Doreen. I can’t watch Mo if the winning run is at the plate. I leave the room and have the family give me updates or listen for the crowd noise or a commercial break if I’m by myself. I know it’s more about my nervousness than superstition but the kids have started telling me to leave so the Yanks will win.

And I somehow believe it, by the way.

Yeah, my Yankee hat always had to be on top of the television.

How about this one? Have you ever done something (or not done something) and felt that you were the reason the Yankees lost? It could be anything, like switching the station when (X) was pitching and the bases were loaded and it’s the bottom of the 9th, and you’re the away team – “X” would never be Mariano by the way – and there are two outs. So you feel your palms getting sweaty and you realize you haven’t breathed for about 10 minutes – AND YOU JUST CAN’T WATCH!

So you turn it back and the Yankees have lost, and you then figure out that if you had watched the rest of the game, maybe, just maybe, they would have pulled it out.

If I have had to go out and have forgotten to put my hat on the television, I know that it will be my fault if the Yankees lose.
