This is in Spanish but should answer your question Yes, there is a break until Dec.26 if you cannot understand much Spanish.

I'll translate for those who don't speak Spanish...

La serie Semifinal comienza por vez primera en el mes de diciembre, ya que tradicionalmente daba inicio el 2 de enero del a?o siguiente. En esta ocasi?n, los cuatro equipos clasificados inician los 18 juegos del Round Robin el d?a 26 de diciembre y accionan hasta el d?a 30 del mismo mes. El calendario semifinal tomar? un descanso hasta el 2 de enero luego de completar los primeros cinco partidos. El segundo descanso se producir? el viernes 6 de enero y el tercero y ?ltimo el jueves 12. Para el lunes 16 se estar? completando el semifondo, en caso de ser necesario. Esto as?, porque el Reglamento establece en su Art?culo 4 que ?esta serie se dar? por concluida cuando dos (2) equipos hayan clasificado para la Serie Final, que comenzar? con un (1) d?a por el medio?.

Otra modalidad que retoma la Liga es la de celebrar la Serie Final al mejor de nueve (9) partidos. Eso significa, que para el Campeonato 2005-2006 la Serie Final podr?a extenderse hasta un m?ximo de nueve (9) encuentros. Dejando una fecha libre en medio del calendario final.

Con los cambios introducidos al Calendario, el Campeonato Nacional que inicia en octubre terminar?a a m?s tardar el d?a 27 de enero, dando oportunidad al representativo nacional para realizar los ajustes necesarios con miras a la pr?xima Serie del Caribe a celebrarse en las ciudades de Maracay y Valencia, Venezuela, en

Very loosely translated, but you get the meaning...

The semifinals will start for the first time in December, when traditionally it used to start on January 2nd. This time, the 4 qualified teams will start the 18 games of the ?Round Robin? on December 26th and it will end on December 30th. The calendar for the semifinals will take a break until January 2nd, after completing the first 5 games. The second break will come on Friday, January 6th, 2006, and the third and last on Thursday, January 12th. On Monday, January 16th they will have a tie-breaker in case it?s needed.

They will also go back to celebrating the best of 9 games for the Final Series.

With all these changes, the Campeonato Nacional that started in October, will end on January 27th, in order to give the winning team the chance to make adjustments to be able to participate in the Caribe Series that will take place in Maracay and Valencia, Venezuela in February.

Andy Marte

Anyone know what team he's playing for?

Any information on where he is and how he's doing would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, he's playing for the Azucareros del Este and doing great!

Tickets are always available.

toughest tickests are Licey - Aguilas

Next would be Escogido - Aguilas

Escogido won 8 of the 10 games they played...

If you go to the stadium in Santiago in the morning you can get good seats. The box office sells seats, but you can get better with the scalpers. They are all over. You need to know the seating in the stadium so you get good seats. You should pay about 800 -1000RD for a good seat. I am talking Licey-Aquilas which is the best to see.

The best seats are labeled Parcos. That would be a field level box.

AE= Azucareros del Este
AC = Aguilas Cibae?as
L= Licey
E = Escogido

AC is aguilas de cibao from santiago
L is the Tigres De Licey from santo domingo
E is Escogido also from santo domingo
I would guess AE are the azucareros este? from Laromana?

Not making the round robin would be the estrellas oriental from San Pedro
and the Gigantes from San Francisco. . . .

I sure hope I get down there in january to see a game or two! I'd love to see a game in La Romana

Out of the Goodness of My Heart

Okay, we know that
AC = ?guilas Cibae?as
L = Tigres del Licey
E = Leones del Escogido and
AE = Azucareros del Este

That said let me put up the schedule;
NOTE: All games are at 8:05, except: Sunday 8 January, Monday 9 January and Sunday 15 January) Each team will play 16 games between today and 16 January.

GO AGUILAS!!!!!!!!

Generally speaking, they charge "higher negotiated prices"

Getting there early, as was suggested above, is a very good idea.

Also a knowledge of what seats cost - legally-- will give a person the basis for dealing with the blackmarketeer.

Is this the same Luis Polonia that had 5 stints with the NY Yankees?

There is only one Luis Polonia.

To answer your question on the scalpers. They are just hustlers trying to make a buck. It is no different than going to a Kncks game at MSG and buying a ticket outside from someone.

The price is on the ticket, but of course you will pay more.
