It Is Almost Time For New York Yankees Baseball!

PrintHappy February, folks! When I woke up today, I noticed the weather (in New Jersey) is extremely nice for a February day, In fact, I immediately thought it felt like a spring day. A baseball day.
We are nearing the baseball season, and the Yankees roster is almost set. Other than the minor signings here and there, and the likely addition of a DH, we know what we will be seeing in 2012, and that is quite exciting.
I saw tweets throughout the day joking about what the pitching matchup is at Yankee Stadium tonight, but I couldn't laugh, as I miss baseball too much.
Hockey certainly helps fill the void for me, as does college basketball to a lesser extent (go Scarlet Knights!) (sigh) but nothing quite lives up to waking up on a spring day and knowing there will be a baseball game to watch.
This month we will be seeing the first "action" of the baseball season. I could not be any happier. For the season so far I have tickets to see the Diamondbacks play the Mets on May 8tth, the Reds play at the Yankees on Saturday May 19th, the Yankees play in Washington vs. the Nationals on June 16th, and tickets to see Albert Pujols and the Angels visit the Yankees on August 13th!

Making plans to drive to Missouri to see Cardinals/Pirates and Royals/Yankees in May and then down to Atlanta/St Petersburg/Miami for games in September. Stoken on three days in DC for the Yankees series as well.
Getting very excited.

When I saw the Blue Jays play in Cincinnati last year it was the series before the Yankees came into town. Needless to say, I was bummed.

It's from my favorite George Constanza scene in Seinfeld

2012 Season
Haven’t purchased any tickets yet, but I’m looking forward to a few games in my favorite section (420 B), while enjoying a Lobel’s steak sandwich!
Need to find out what number Michael Pineda will officially be wearing so I can order my newest jersey!!!

If it wasn’t for the New York Football Giants, i’d be in total Yankee Baseball mode with this weather. But instead of the ball and glove, i still throw the pigskin. Go Big Blue!

Barndon is in the best shape of his life!
Too soon?
Also, am I doing something wrong? When I look at the Yankees’ schedule page there are no links to buy tickets. Are you fellas going via StubHub or sharing with season ticket holders or something?

so I have fanpost that i have in mind
however i need to reference some spreadsheets i made in google docs, but i don’t know how to make them into tables in the fanpost. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you make them into a table in Google docs?
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Feb 1, 2012 10:09 PM EST up reply actions
No, if you just go to the graph button at the top it should turn whatever you entered into the spreadsheet into whatever graph you want, including a table. It just makes it look nicer, I don’t think you HAVE to do it.

You probably already know this as a Photoshop wizard, but just in case and for anyone who doesn’t, the blurriness is a function of two things:
1) Chopped quality when you upload. To reduce the amount of data that the host needs to store, the pixel density and color quality is often reduced. This is pretty much unavoidable, but if you go to a site like Photobucket, Tumblr, or even Facebook, the losses are not usually too noticeable.
2) Resizing (probably where the problem lies). Most sites that allow you to upload pictures will have a maximum height and width that if your picture exceeds, it will scale down accordingly. The proportionality of the picture is maintained in the diagonal scaling, but the interpolation process leads to a big reduction in quality. The same thing happens if you tinker with the size when you add the picture to a post.
The best way to have the highest quality pictures from upload to post is to make them both 1) within the size supported by the upload site so that they aren’t scaled there 2) the size that you want to use in the post so that you don’t have to adjust it.
It looks right.
But who knows? Screen shooting is tricky business.
