AZ Snake Pit MLB and NFL: Outrage at 'cheaters' not equal

He sets it up as well as I could so this from Jayson Stark at ESPN.com

Finally, can we just pose this question: Suppose a prominent and popular All-Star player on a two-time World Series champion were to get suspended for a quarter of a season because he got nabbed obtaining HGH. And suppose, at the same time, a coach on one of last year's World Series teams was also suspended for the same offense. How gigantic would the headlines be on every front page in America? How scathing would the columns be from all your favorite writers? Well, any time America is ready to kick up a similarly massive sense of outrage over the HGH suspensions of Rodney Harrison and Wade Wilson, we're ready to read every word of it.

Honestly, what is the deal with Harrison and Wilson pretty much being a non-story?  

Thoughts?

AZ Snake Pit Best Seats at BOB, er Chase Field

Been awhile since I've been to any games other than Spring Training.  Partly because baseball the past few years just hasn't been as interesting to me as before (however, I'm getting sucked back in - in a big way!) - but mostly due to price of tickets, concessions, etc.

Factor in the 90 minute (if I'm lucky) drive from up north and attending a game that I can watch from the comfort of my couch isn't always the most attractive proposition.  

All that being said - I'm interested in making the trek at least a few times this year.  

To the point:

What are the best seats in the park?  

Strike that - A better question is:

Where do YOU like to sit when you go?

Provide some rationale, if you would, for your answer.  For some it might be purely pricepoint or value - for others it's another reason or three entirely.  Would love to hear them.

Thanks.
