Angels Notes: Bart's Shoulder, Bud Black's Future, World Series Tix
- The Register reports that Bartolo Colon's shoulder injury is a muscle strain rather than a rotator cuff injury, good news for the big fella. On the other hand, the Angels consider it "unlikely" that they would activate him by October 21, when World Series rosters are due.
- The Devil Rays have requested to speak with Bud Black for the Tampa Bay managerial opening, and apparently Oakland has some interest as well.
- World Series tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM through the Angels website and Ticketmaster.
Comments:
i think playoff/world series tickets should only go on sale AFTER a team has clinched a playoff or world series berth. it's gotta be one of the worst feelings to have a world series ticket in your hand for a game your team won't even be playing in.
'Twas ever thus, though; I can recall the Dodgers selling playoff tickets long before they had clinched, and I think one year when they weren't even close, but could smell it.
It's largely a matter of logistics. You just can't wait until one playoff series is concluded to start selling tickets to the next one when you're working with as little as a 48-hour turn-around.
On a related note, my favorite memorabilia items up on the walls at Don & Charlie's in Scottsdale are the scads of unused playoff and Series tickets from teams that never made it. The Cubs '89 World Series tickets are particularly poignant.
Me, I could paper the walls with all the unused A's ALCS tickets I've had over the years. But if I wanted to be reminded of failure, all I got to do is look in the mirror.
