The fans scurried to get those seats, with some climbing over railings. The nine rows of premium seats, which include the much-scrutinized $2,500 seats, were off limits.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;the Yankees announced that tickets from Thursday&#8217;s game could be redeemed for free bleacher, grandstand or terrace tickets to nonpremium games for the rest of this season or 2010. Fans also have the option of redeeming their tickets for half-price tickets to nonsuite seats in 2009 or 2010.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am positive that neither fanbase or the media will overreact to the last three games, aren&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>So, which manager is in hot water this morning?<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/06\/18\/AR2009061804116.html\"><b>For Nats, This One Is Worth The Wait<\/b><\/a> &#8211; <i>The Post<\/i><br \/><a class=\"post-article-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2009\/jun\/19\/nats-get-stunning-series-victory\/\"><b>Nats get stunning series victory<\/b><\/a> &#8211; <i>The Wash.
