Starbucks Hunter: The Thrill of the Chase
He'll never make it... I'm sure our friend Stephen Hawking could come up witha formula to prove me right... Something about him having to travel above the speed of light to keep up with the new stores opening around the world

Tour De France
Lance finished second today, in the same time as Ivan Basso, on what was the first Mountain top finish of the tour. Thomas Voekler (yellow jersey) lost significant time, and should give it up tomorrow on a hellish stage. With the exception of Basso, every major contender lost time to Lance today... Mayo - lost 1'03" Ulrich - lost 2'30" Hamilton - lost 3'27" Overall Lance is in Second, 5'24" back of Voekler. Basso is the closest Major contender to lance, 1'11" back it's 3'37" back to Ulrich 4'22" back to Hamilton

This is the same team that rushed Kerry Wood back to pitch in the game before the ASB.... if he skips that start, he doesn't have to go for another week...

recruiting call...
If they are calling, it's just to "talk baseball" -- Just like Kobe Bryant said last night on sportscenter, he only called coach K to "talk basketball", not recruit him for the Lakers head coaching job. -- rolleyeyes.gif

What's sick is the Trib's coverage... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-cubs-headlines look down the entire right side of the page.... :puke How come there was no "maggs watch" -- He's actually won a couple of Silver Sluggers. How come there's no "Big Hurt Watch" -- He's only a 2 time MVP(should be three)

WTF is Morneau still doing in Rochester? Minkaywhatshisname has been terrible at 1st base. And Jose Awfulman has been equally as bad at DH. All they are doing by leaving him down there is making him Olypic eligible... And what is the point in that? Especially if he's going ot play for Canada. And don't say that the Defense will fall off with Morneau there. Minnesota has been worse than the Sox defensively this season.

People Meeting at BoSox series
I don't have any tix (though that shouldn't be too much of a problem)... I'm sure I could clear either Saturday or Sunday for a little get together.

And for those people, there will still be 1.2 price mondays... I know BB said it's about the season ticket holders, and it is to a point, but IMO the larger issue was the type of crowd that Tuesday night was attracting. The White Sox are very consciously trying to build thier fan base by starting young, very young. They cater to families and little kids like no other big league club i've seen. It will pay them long term dividends to continue this approach, rather than cow-tow to the rowdies who want to "get their drink on" and cause trouble. I would be upset if they completely eliminated the Half-price nights. and other promotions. (AAA half-price weeknights, Granton Marketing Coupon book, etc..) But there are still going to be budget options to view the sox... The fact is the Tuesday night thing started to work too well...

Brooks Boyer on ESPN NOW
Agreed... They should have lots of smaller season ticket plans...
-
Brooks Boyer on ESPN NOW
Yes it is, if for nothing else than this. Under Rob Gallas, his marketing idea reinforced the belief that White Sox Baseball is only worth half the price that's printed on the ticket....

I don't think the Tuesdays have been as bad lately.... It's more of a combination of factors that all come together to make a bad experience. I won't be too upset if they are gone. They're going to get roasted by the Media(mariotti) if they do give them up.

I just stumbled across this site. http://www.thebrushback.com/index.htm It's sort of like The Onion, only for sports fans. -- Take a look through some of the archives. There's some great stuff in there.
