On opening day 2005, the Blue Jays salary was between $45-46M. By the end of the season, that had gone up to between $49-50M. This is normal, and occurs when players are brought up from the minors and given major league salaries.\n\nAt present, the salaries of the 18 players the Blue Jays have under contract for 2006 total just under $71M, this means that the payroll will be at least $73M on opening day, assuming the other 7 players are youngsters making at or near the league minimum of $327,000

I have not gotten any tickets yet, but I was happy to see that my check was cashed yesterday! (6/19) I do believe that the ticket office sends out the  single game tickets at about the same time  that the seson ticket holders are sent theirs. That is usually in mid-July.

Depends greatly on the team.  Some of them put them on sale in December others not till the new year.  Go to your teams website and see if the information is there on when and how they will go on sale.  It may not be posted yet depending on the team.

ESPN will have it in their Team salary section. And they will probibly also post it if they see that a player signs.

You can't get any free radio broadcasts unless you live in canadian locations that get Blue Jays games.\n\nThe best way to listen would be to pay $15 to get MLBRadio from the mlb.com web page.  However, you need a broadband connection. The $15 covers the entire season, every game that's not blacked out where you are (which shouldn't be any.) They also have a lot of spanish language feeds.

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

haha good logic... go yanks!\n\nalso, half the people who have answered this question are idiots.  the yankees did not have close to a 350 million dollar payroll. shut up.  you're also an idiot because there is a "salary cap"-- it's called the 20% penalty that we pay each year for being over the $200 million limit.  and also, i agree with the person who said that they are sick of one-year wonder teams.  guess what, cardinals fan, you guys choked on a BIG dick in 2004 in the world series.  what happened there?  everybody talks about the yankees losing to the sox but that was a pretty big choke on st. louis' part.  in fact as i recall, they were ahead a combined 4 innings or so throughout that whole series.  so congratulations, you beat the fucking tigers who were able to overtake a ragtag, piecemeal yankee lineup in the division series that was different from the closing day roster.\n\nand tigers fans, enjoy this series loss cause it's the closest you're going to get for a long time.  we just took three of your best farm pitchers, and what did you get in return?  cortizone boy and his enormous contract.  he's gonna retire in 2 years anyway, so that was a great investment on your part.  i agree with the person who said that it's ridiculous to be "happy we made it."  but i guess no one but a yankees fan would understand that, because no team has ever been or ever will be as dominant as we are.\n\nin summation, you're all a bunch of mediocre fans with a mediocre knowledge of the game who root for mediocre teams.  go yankees.

Eventually the Jays are going to be the better team because their players are younger and are entering their prime years. The Yankees have a good team but the players are older and soon they'll be past their prime years. Also the Yankees are stuck with a lot of expensive and lengthy contracts that eventually will prevent them from signing new free agents for once.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings?type=regular&year=season_2005\nyou use this url and you see the angels as division winners with bengie Molina as their catcher.  One season later minus Bengie Molina in 2006 with him up in toronto.  You notice a much improved toronto team and a worsened Los Angeles team.\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings?type=regular&year=season_2006\nBasically what was The Angels loss turned out to be the Blue Jays gain.

The Yankees try to buy championships every year.  I see that $250 million payroll really work for 'em last year!  The White Sox won the World Series on the same amount of payroll for the team (about $96 million) as the Yankees first 6 starters in the Yankee line up!  Way to waste that money Steinbrenner!!!!

Konerko is going to have to step it up a little bit or he'll fall just short, but they are all three on pace to join some elite company.\n\nIt is rare, but it has happened before:\nWalker/Galarraga/Castilla (COL) - 1997\nGalarraga/Burks/Castilla (COL) - 1996\nJohnson/Evans/Aaron (ATL) - 1973\n\nAnd just because I was curious, here are some instances where just two teammates have hit 40 in a season, more common but still rare:\nRamirez/Ortiz (BOS) - 2004-05\nPujols/Edmonds (STL) - 2004\nPalmeiro/Rodriguez (TEX) - 2001\nBagwell/Hidalgo (HOU) and Batista/Delgado (TOR) - 2000\nDelgado/Green (TOR) - 1999\nGriffey/Rodriguez (SEA) - 1998-99\nGriffey/Buhner (SEA) - 1996-97\nBench/Perez (CIN) - 1970\nPetrocelli/Yastrzemski (BOS) - 1969\nMaris/Mantle (NYY) and Mays/Cepeda (SF) - 1961\nPost/Kluszewski (CIN) - 1955\nSnider/Hodges (BRO) - 1954\nSnider/Campanella (BRO) - 1953\nRuth/Gehrig (NYY) - 1927, 1930-31\n\nOkay, so I have the day off.......

There are tax law changes every year. If I were you I would look at last years taxes and this years taxes and see what is so different. Last year you might have been at the very end of one tax bracket and this year your income might have pushed you into a different bracket. If you had them done by someone most places will give you a comparison. If they did it will show you where it changed form last year you this year. If you cant find it there then I would start looking for errors. If you find some correct it with a 1040X. Good luck
