With WBC over, looking on to MLB baseball season
March 26, 2009
Well the 2009 World Baseball Classic is now in the history books, and our hats are off to repeat champions Japan for once again having the best baseball team in the world. They played great and came out on top of a field that was much more dangerous that last year. Congratulations to Daisuke Matsuzaka, Ichiro Suzuki and the rest of team Japan. Well whoever got their WBC tickets sure got their money’s worth, as the 2009 WBC featured some great games. WorldBaseballClassictickets.com would also like to extent a well-deserved congratulation to Team Korea for making it to the WBC Finals, beating some excellent baseball teams along the way.
And with the WBC gone for the next four years, oue attention now once again goes to the MLB regular season. We doubt that any players are going to be feeling any adverse effects from playing in the WBC, and its going to be a great time to enjoy some cool baseball games. Make sure that you’ve got your MLB tickets to see your favorite team, because the baseball season is going to be fantastic. A number of teams have made some big moves, and now that the MLB season has started we’ll get to see just who is coming out on top. I can’t wait to see what MLB playoff tickets are going to be selling come October.
In the AL East, the most competitive division in sports just got even more so, as the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees now have to content with the Tampa Bay Rays. These are three of the best teams in baseball, so who survives the AL East is anyones guess. Was is not in question is that whoever buys Boston Red Sox Yankees tickets is in for a great day of baseball, and the same goes for Red Sox Rays tickets. These three teams are going to be battling hard all baseball season long, so get your Yankees tickets if you want to see the boys from the Bronx or Rays tickets if you want to see the guys from Tampa Bay.
Over in the NL East, things aren’t much easier. Look for the Mets and Phillies to slug it out, while the rest of the division competes hard. Don’t sleep on Atlanta, because anyone with Braves tickets will tell you this team is tough. Those will be selling well, but likely Mets tickets will sell better. Johan Santana now has a great bullpen behind him and the Metropolitans will be in good shape this year. Also in good shape will be the World Champs. Get your Phillies tickets to see the defending champs do their thing live.
In the NL West, a number of teams are going to be fighting the Chicago Cubs for top of the division. Cubs tickets are going to be selling fast, but I am sure that St. Louis Cardinals tickets are going to be selling just as well. that is a baseball town if there ever was one, so it should be fun to watch. Also fun to watch will be Cincinnati, who have a number of great players. The city is going crazy looking for Reds tickets, so if you are a fan get them ASAP. And even Pittsburgh is looking to sell tons of Pirates tickets, as the team has some good players and are looking like they are finally on the way up.
The AL Central will be another dog-fight, perhaps the toughest division of all to call. The Tigers should be fine, and Tigers ticket holders certainly hope so. They are no joke, but the White Sox are going to be looking sharp as well. Then you’ve got the Minnesota Twins, who always are able to stay atop the field, and sell tons of Twins tickets in the process. And you can’t forget about Cleveland Indians tickets, because that team has some solid arms and big bats. And the Royals seem to be on the way up as well.
Both the Western Divisions have not been as competitive in recent years, but that looks like it will change this year, especially in the NL. LA is still nuts about Manny Ramirez, and fans have been snatching up Dodgers tickets like they are going out of style. Then the Diamondbacks have one of the most dominant 1-2 punches in pitching, so Diamondbacks tickets are going to be extra-hot. The Giants have two pretty good pitchers of their own in Tim Lincecum and Randy Johnson, so San Francisco is looking hard for San Fran Giants tickets. And the Colorado Rockies are also looking a lot better two years removed from making to the World Series. And lets not forget about the San Diego Padres, who have a good core and are looking like they could cause a few headaches.
And last but not least, the LA Angels are going to have a much tougher battle if they are planning on coming out on top of the AL West again. Look for a much better Seattle team, Mariners tickets holders are certainly expecting that. And the Oakland Athletics are also looking like they want to play hard, so make sure you don’t pass up a chance at some primo Athletics tickets. And of course the Texas Rangers have all the bats in the world, so if their pitching can step up they should be able to put on a show for Rangers ticket holders everywhere.
All in all this is going to be a great year for MLB baseball, so get out there are root on your team. It doesn’t get much better than baseball tickets for a good time, especially if they are cheap baseball tickets that you manage to get. Make sure that you don’t miss a minute of the heart-racing MLB action.
