Camden Yards = Fucking unbelievable. What an amazing ballpark. How they fail to pack that place every single night despite a losing team is beyond me.
I was in the Club section, so I suppose everything there may have been a little nicer than other parks of the park, but anything half as nice as that would be great. The concourses were very fancy, it felt like walking around in a high-end hotel. There were tons of great concession options and they handed out these orange menu's before the game, and you hold them up at any time during the game, and someone comes over to take your food order and they deliver it to you. The service in general was really nice and helpful. Then, of course, it's just a beatiful ball park. And cupholders? Fuck. Yes.
All in all about a million times nicer than Yankee stadium, with it's dank, dirty garage like concourses, shitty concessions and push-and-shove staff... But, then again, Yankee Stadium is the happiest place on earth and Camden Yards has walk-outs. I just hope the new Yankee Stadium is even half as nice as Camden Yards.
Absolutley one of the best times I've ever had at a ballgame, despite the Yankees losing.
So, the AL matchups are all locked in. With the Red Sox win and the Yankees loss last night, the Red Sox win the AL East and the Yankees take the Wild Card. Cleveland has also clinched a better record than Los Angeles, so the first round of the AL playoffs will be Angels vs. Red Sox and Yankees vs. Indians.
What has yet to be decided is the overall top record, which actually means something this year. The top team will choose which series schedule they want to play: The "short" series (two off-days) or the "long" series (three off-days). The first game of the AL playoffs will be on Tuesday, though it's yet to be decided which game.
Then we have the Cubbies clinching the central, the D-backs clinching at least a play-off spot, and Phillies taking a one-game lead in the NL East over the Mets, who also find themselves two back for the Wild Card. It's amazing how wild the NL still is with only two games left to play. I'm rooting for the Phil's to win the National League.
