D-Back "Faithful" Not Willing to Shell Out NY Sandwich Money for Playoff Tix

For the Price of This, You Could Have a Game 1 NLCS Ticket. Honestly.I was about to make a turn...I really was...throughout this week, I've been wallowing in the self-pity of a Mets-Jets fan and bemoaning the lack of sports entertainment on the tube and the prospects for the rest of fall. And, finally, I was about to break out. Because, damn it, I'm a sports fan! I love baseball, and it's playoff time. Tommy Lasorda reminded me of all of that last year. So what if it's the D-Backs/Rockies. What's my real issue with those teams besides my East Coast bias, right? Well, Arizona, we now have a problem.
Just as I readied myself for a fundamental philisophical turn, I read this. That's right. As of this morning, there are nearly 4,000 tickets left to tonight's Game 1 at Chase Field. GAME ONE OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES AT HOME. What's more tickets are going for as low as $16.50 on StubHub (a few hours ago they were $10, so those D-Back fanatics must really be stepping it up).
Arizona Diamondbacks "fans"...one word...pathetic. If this game one was taking place in Philly, Chicago, NY, heck, even Denver, you couldn't get a ticket for the PARKING LOT for $16.50. You should be embarrassed, humiliated and appalled. You wonder why you don't get the reputation for being a decent sports town? Exhibit A: you don't sell out playoff games.
Really, this makes me thoroughly angry. I can't get a pastrami on Rye for $10 and a D-Backs fan can shell out one Alexander Hamilton and be watching their team play in game 1 of the NLDS? And they still can't fill up the place?
We at the Legend of Cecilio Guante award you negative fan points and may g*d have mercy on your soul. Speaking of a higher power...Go Rockies.
Erie's Scribe coming to you with Tribe/Sox preview and more later today.

That's unbeivable abou the tickets. I literally lost a friend over yankees payoff tickets one year.
Where is the crazy clevaland fan? i thought he writes on Thursdays. Anyway if he is out there, i just wanted to tell him that he was right about the Yankees/Clevaland series. A true yankee fan can admit when he is wrong.
I will be routing for the indians in the next series. Hopefully thier one two punch of pitchers can hold up up against the Bosox clowns (manny and fat pappi)
Crazy Cleveland fan right here, Shaun. Glad you're cheering for the Tribe this week.
As much crap as I like to give Yankees fans, you guys handle defeat well.
C.C. and Carmona have to pitch big this series.
