New York Yankees Tickets – The Same, Only Different

by eric on February 3, 2012 updated February 3, 2012

New York Yankees tickets have been bringing baseball to the masses in the same way for years. The Yankees have made a living by being at the point of the spear in the MLB and not everyone likes it. But you can’t argue with the results and Yankees ticket holders can’t argue with the ability of their team to keep them involved on a day to day basis. If ever there was a lightning rod for baseball interest it’s the New York Yankees. And once again in the 2012 Major League Baseball scene, Yankees tickets are among the tops as the boys in pinstripes continue the same old same old winning expectations with a new crop of free agents and a sea of changing faces. Out with the old and in with the new.

It’s a long term process. 2012 New York Yankees tickets will be missing some familiar faces and some will be seen for what may be the last time. Andy Pettitte has decided to call it quits. While many believe he still had some juice left, Pettitte has taken the high road back home. Yankees ticket holders will also have this season to say goodbye to another old timer as catcher Jorge Posado has decided this is his last trip around the bases. And of course there’s going to a ton of debate around the New York Yankees as to just how effective some other heroes can be in the twilight of their careers.

Hold your breath because here we go. New York Yankees tickets and the sight of Derek Jeter go hand in hand but as a Yankees fan you have to ask yourself just how long this can continue. Jeter has been a wonderful asset, but he’s getting long in the tooth and Father Time can’t be put off forever. Under contract for a few more years the only question is going to be if Derek Jeter can pull off another big season or just contribute on a mortal level.

If Yankees tickets are going to continue to excel, the franchise has to start thinking about re-tooling in a big way, one that will bring some tears to old time Yankees tickets holders. But don’t worry, things will be the same, only different.

Yankees Tickets – Valentine Talks Yankees

by eric on January 31, 2012 updated January 31, 2012

The New York Yankees, and the fans who devour Yankees tickets, thought a lot of Jesus Montero. What was not to like? The young catcher had plenty of potential. So it may have come as a surprise to some when the Yankees used Montero as trade bait to snag pitcher Michael Pineda. But to the New York Yankees this upcoming season is going to be all about the guy on the mound obviously. Problem right now is that the Yankees have too many guys on the roster for a planned five man rotation so someone is going to have to go. I guess that what spring training is for and we’ll get a better idea of who is going to actually be wearing pinstripes come March when the Yankees open spring training.

In the meantime let’s turn our attention to the Boston Red Sox or at least turn our attention to the opinion of the Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine about his biggest opponent, the New York Yankees.

On the Montero Deal for Pineda “I didn’t really ever think he was going to be their catcher of the future” Obviously, Valentine knows something we don’t. he probably thinks it was a good deal to get rid of a backup catcher and get a possible starter in your pitching rotation.

On Pineda though, Valentine expresses some doubt “Pineda, when I saw him in the first half (last season), he looked unhittable. In the second half, he looked OK” Not exactly high praise so maybe as Yankees ticket buyers we shouldn’t get our hopes up that high?

One thing Valentine did say that I know is total B.S. was declaring his lack of knowledge about the pitching of the other members of the AL East, and even his own. As if he hasn’t spent hours looking at that. Maybe just maybe we as Yankees ticket holders should be hopeful that Valentine is as dumb as that statement makes him sound. But don’t bet on it. I think he’s just too sharp to give anything away.
