    But the quality of players will be higher despite moving from AAA to AA. Actual prospects will be in town for full seasons. AAA had become a repository for prospects not quite good enough for MLB or veterans who the big club keeps around if they need a temporary fill-in. We were not going to see another 1994 team with the likes of Chipper Jones, Ryan Klesko, Javy Lopez, etc.

    Damn it! This is the kind of stuff that doesn't need to happen. Somehow RIC has to do a better job on checking prices and being competitive. Sorry you're going to have to fly to Raleigh. You should have booked it when the prices were good!

    I was waiting to finalize my lodging. I wasn't going to book airfare without being 100 percent certain about lodging. That was finalized Thursday. When I went to bed Wednesday, airfare was the price I had seen for 5 days. Last night, it had spiked up. It's a bummer.

    Oh, and for you Techies....

    VT lines up against Duke tonight.

    I would really like to see an area tounament with UVA, Tech, VCU and U of R, maybe somewhere around Thanksgiving. A Commonwealth Championship. These teams need to play one another more often.

    Let's bring back the old T-D tournament.

    Admitedly, VT and UVA would not agree to a true tournament format. They already play 2 or 3 times per season. You could have a 2-day affair where VT plays VCU and UVA plays UR. Then the next day VT-UR and UVA-VCU

    It doesn't bother me in the least to se the Braves leave. I have thought for years that lower-level minor league baseball would be more appealing. AAA has so few real prospects that stay for any length of time. A or AA would be more exciting to me as good prospects generally stay with those clubs longer. For instance, Andruw Jones swung through Richmond for all of 2 weeks. The big club is anxious to call the top guys up once they reach the AA level, in many cases bypassing the AA team altogether and promoting directly to the majors.

    How much are you having to pay for your flight to Miami, mpar? And what airline and route will you take? I note JetBlue's usual non-stop fare RIC/FLL (Lauderdale) of $199 is $319 during this time frame.

    JetBlue's flight to FLL went up 100 dollars from the middle of last week to Saturday. I may not even go. If I do, I'll post what I booked.

    Maybe you'll become a monthly frequent flyer in and out of RIC, 'mpar. :thumbsup: Nice to have you here at UP. Please chime in frequently with comments on any and all topics.

    Eandslee, who we refer to as Eric, is our in-house Airport Enthusiast. I'm surprised he hasn't checked in to offer his analysis of the constantly expanding growth figures at RIC. He and his family must be occupied by holiday activities out in his home base of California.

    Thanks. I have been lurking on this board for a long time and decided to contribute something. I don't fly often but will be flying again in December and, hopefully, January (if Virginia Tech makes the Orange Bowl).
