BREAK UP THE F-ING NATIONALS

[hutch]

LOL hutch, yer cute.  i don't want to pay the balance on the baseball tickets because i know the refund is coming.  if i paid the balance, which i easily could, i would then get the refund at a later point and have a credit (positive balance) on my credit card.  it's a stupid thing to do.  if they had refunded my tickets in a timely fashion, i wouldn't be carrying any balance.

your condescension and assumptions are appreciated, tho.

back to the question: has anyone received their refund?

What is stupid about having a positive balance for a few weeks?

Unless you can't afford it.. in which case we're back where we started: don't buy concert tickets and stuff if you can't afford it.

[hutch]

credit card debt is no joke brah!!!!!!

[sweetcell]

called tickets.com.  they have just done refunds for the unplayed wild card game.  they will start with NLCS refunds on Nov 1, and should be complete in "3 to 4 weeks at most, probably less than that".

You have less than 2 minutes to give them your money but once they have it and have to return it they take almost 2 months to get it back to you. Hilarious.

Don't worry Sweetcell, these are big companies that care about customer service and the happiness of their clients.  You should expect a full refund from the ticket company and MLB with interest very soon.  It's not like they have a monopoly and can do what they want - they face stiff competition and will do the right thing.

Denard Span and Dan Haren coming on board and reportedly nearing a deal to bring back LaRoche.  I'm liking the offseason thus far.

Hoya and I have been talking offline about Haren.  Make sure he passes his physical before you get too excited.

Physical is on Thursday...but supposedly already passed on for another team.  At least that's what he says.

Excited for Denard Span, not so psyched that we'll likely drop The Beast :\

I mostly like singing A-ha in his later at bats :\

The Angels and Cubs had a deal done about two weeks ago swapping Marmol for Haren pending Haren's physical and Marmol waiving his no-trade clause.  It was tweeted that Marmol waived it by his agent.

[imbecile]

Yeah, Haren's back issue does have me a bit concerned.  I really don't know what to make of the whole thing - I mean, he's rather durable (8 years running of atleast 30 starts), but it clearly affected him last year. 

So yeah, pending him passing the physical I'm excited at the prospect.

Keep an eye on his right hip too.  That may be he piece that worried the Cubs most.  If he's healthy (and I don't mean he passes his physical, but avoids the DL next season) he's a steal at $13m, and the Angels offered Haren a one-year deal with an option for a second last week, but he turned it down.  The money was apparently nowhere close to the Nationals' $13 million offered him, but if the team that knows him best was giving him an offer, that's a pretty good sign for your team.

Now that it looks like Jacoby Elsbury is available for trade, still like the Denard Span signing?

[imbecile]

Ha, of course I'd rather have Ellsbury over Span, but I'm also a Sox fan, so I'm conflicted and not sure how both the Sox and Nationals could get better in a deal between them.

I think the Sox are going to want a lot for Ellsbury, not sure if Alex Meyer.. and say Anthony Rendon would've gotten it done.. or if Rizzo would've even considered letting Rendon go.  Ellsbury I believe has another arbitration year left, so you'd get two years minimum out of him, but he'd cost a lot more than Span who's solid, yet unspectacular.

Ellsbury also sandwiched two years pretty well lost to injury around an AL-MVP -like season so he'd be a bit of a risk to give up two good prospects for and then two arbitration years at 10 and 11 million per year (no idea what he'll get, just guessing).
