Honestly, I think the cubs awfulness since 08 onward has hurt sox attendance. In early 00s both teams had exciting teams, with cubs oscillating more than sox. When the cubs fell off of a cliff and then sox slow decline since 08 (even with 12, our 10/11 campaigns were fueled by huge June's) people just have not been talking about baseball for a few years. And when nobody is talkinga bout baseball casual fans will not think "Hey I should go to a baseball game"

Still, Red Sox, Sale vs Lester, lot of people off on Friday and it's going into a holiday weekend. Should see a huge crowd. Sounds accurate.

Excuse maker here, turns out we are now going tomorrow, not today. i'm pumped about that news.

I mean, this is a huge draft for the organization, I would hope Hahn and his scouts personally go see the presumed top ten players.

Yeah I'm still hoping for a miracle 3rd seed.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) There wont be 10K people there then. U could give me scout seats to tomorrow nights game I am not going out there to freeze my a$$ off. Much happier from my couch and 55" LED in HD. Unfortunately I will be here.

Jimmer may have bought himself some playing time

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 01:32 AM) That was quite the roller coaster of a bet, wasn't it?? Awesome. Steve actually sent me his PayPal info three weeks ago. Best jinx ever.

Ermagerd. Sixersssss

Jimmers in. Snell with a good game so far.

It's taken me about a week to read this front to back. It is very hard to get through. Just pre-emptively, anyone that tries to throw out a "well of COURSE this was happening" can get a very large cookie. Congrats you are amazing, don't post in this thread. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine...go-crime-rates/ The first part that made me stop because I couldn't go on (barely past the first paragraph): To be honest, this cuts way harder to me than the Chicago Police torture legacy. With one you have a complete perversion of the investigation process but still some attempt at solving a murder by pursuit. The white washing of a murder because they are the most invisible is just nausea-inducing. This city. Another bloody weekend. And I wanted to believe it.

There are worse things in the baseball world than JR giving Konerko a victory lap.

When was Alexeis first HR last year? June?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 11:28 PM) Did Alexei really just homer to win the game??? !!! Yes sir

Alexei!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha

Will we ever be able to hold a lead?

Just unbelievable.

Great hit by Dayan thou. He has looked great power wise this year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 03:38 AM) I still find this a stupid part of the NBA. Incentives shouldn't be counted as that. Agreed.

Is it raining down there? It hasn't rained all day in logan

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) Little off topic but pretty annoyed if the attendance was in the 27k range and we got into the ballpark 30 minutes before game time it's complete bulls*** that they had blankets for the first 20k fans but were out when we got there. Which is fine but next time say you only have 15 or whatever the true amount was. We entered as game started in RF and got some. Sometimes that stop handing out but you just need to ask.

QUOTE (staxx @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) How is Nieto dead weight when he is doing better than anything we had last year? This is a player that has never played above A ball, I think he deserves more than ~10 games or whatever they have played. Get used to him too, they aren't letting him go. I mean, I think he's only played 3 games and two were decent.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 03:19 AM) Anybody know anything about possible Noah incentives (1st team all nba, dpoy, etc) that could put the Bulls over the tax? lol. Funny as hell if true. I think Murphy getting claimed fixed that issue.
