Oh come on now. How many of these pain related setbacks since the start of spring training? Three now?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) Teahen on turff with a leftie on the mound, yikes. Morel catch the flu?

It's still an obvious setback. No way he pitches with the big club on the 28th/29th as was hinted recently.

Peavy to miss one start. MRI normal

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) UGH. Stop complaining. Just be blindly optimistic until they are mathematically eliminated.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) *cough*

QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Peavy? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he announced his retirement this year.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) I'm a lil sad Danks isn't going on 4/20 like usual, but that's ok. There's only one way to make that sadness go away.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Maybe somebody should start a "Priceline" type business dealing with sports tickets. Instead of getting empty hotel rooms, etc... cheap, you get empty seats at sporting events cheap. You available this weekend to write up our business plan? I'll look into incorporating Sqwert-Tulsa.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) Most importantly, it seems it is the non-prime days. We sure don't have "30-40% of capacity" 81 games a year. Otherwise our average attendance would be 10-15k a night. Even bringing in 20k is over 50% at our park. We should do whatever it takes to average 90% capacity. What is the benefit of empty seats?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) There are a ton of White Sox discount codes out there. Hell they are all posted here. Next excuse... For all 81 games? I'm saying if you know the day of the game that only 14K tickets have been sold, announce $5 walk up tickets.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) So once in like 15 years. And how many times did we hear "The Cardinals only won 83 games and won the World Series" when we suck?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) An emphatic no. Ah well. Tumbleweed it is!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) 97 Giants worst losing streak was 4 games. In Dusty We Trusty. Ah. that's who I was thinking of.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) Is there any team in baseball that hasn't had a 5 game losing streak during a particular season? The SF Giants in the mid to late 90s. EDIT: It was the 1993 team and they did wind up getting a losing streak over 5 games at the end of the season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) And yet, the team has made money. Perhaps they should hire some financial analysts to figure out some better ticket pricing strategies. Sure would make a heck of a lot more sense to fill up the stadium, even if tickets are lowered to $10 or less, than to have the place at 30 or 40% capacity so often. You make up all of that money in concessions.

I'm torn on Kenny. What type of GM would thrive in this environment where fans never come out?

Questioning me again? Who do you think you are?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) There aren't a lot of "Nonessential components" in satellites. Some of them have espresso machines built into them.

Of course. I use objective logic in my thought process.

Maybe I'm just a realist unlike y'all.
