QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) Should of went throw was horrid. You just don't run on Ichiro on a shallow fly like that. It's stupid.

Ugh, this team just can't get runners in with less than two outs lately.

Lowe looks so much like A.J. Burnett when he has his back turned. Burnett used to wear 34 with the Yankees as well.

Anthony Gose is so bad.

Mathis doubled off Valverde. Come on Blue Jays, make him blow another save.

Rack 'em up. Very big inning there. Got a lead and didn't give it back up.

Tigers are 1-14 with RISP tonight. They should be up 15-3.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Like to know how many wins Youk has accounted for so far...gotta be at least 6. He hits big home runs. Enough said.

Robin needs to be ready to pull the plug on Liriano if he's wild to start the 6th. We can't keep giving back the runs we score.

Youk gets the Yankees back for that blatant HBP last night.

Curtain call for Youk!

That one just kept on carrying.

SLAM!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) Come on Omar! Bad Omar.

Blue Jays threatening in the 8th. 5-3.

Not having Konerko for a week was probably a good thing. The team did just fine without him and he's come back with a vengeance so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) No it doesn't, it makes having a certain income group attending very important. Folks who drive but who also use the sox lots, rather than usin public transit or the other lots in the area. Prices that attract a lot of public transit users arent as profitable. It's not like the Sox are giving out $5 tickets and homeless people come to the park on regular occasion.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) Im pretty sure their strategy is to make money, not fill seats. So without actually having access to their books, how can you do anything but assume? Its just silly to believe that the Sox arent trying to make the most money possible. Now their strategy may not work, but they are trying to make money. Who said they're not trying to make money?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) Actually for the sox it's probably parking. Which makes attendance even more important.

Liriano's not going to get through 5 at this pace.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) You guys really think you know their marketing strategy better than them? It ain't working too well when the stadium is half empty with the Yankees in town.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Plus you get more concessions and parking revenue. Dumb move by the Sox brass. Exactly. We all know concessions is where clubs make a lot of money.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Boras is an asshole lol he and Rizzo built the Nationals. What bulls***. Rizzo didn't even build the Nationals. He just hit on two of the biggest no-brainer picks in draft history.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) How's that working out?............It's not. Cubs and Yanks games not full. It's really bad business. How does it look when your team can't fill up the stadium when big market teams come to town? The extra money they make probably isn't more than them filling up the stadium at slightly cheaper prices.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:48 PM) Tigers about to blow their game wide open, as Romero's walked 8 guys tonight. WTF happened to him? I mean, there were signs last year he was regressing, even though his numbers looked good. He walked a lot of guys, now it's just out of control.
