This is pretty funny...all someone has to do is make a post with "ESPN" in the title or somewhere in the post and it draws everyone! Perhaps we should get a contingent to shout "ESPN" at the front gate to the stadium?

ESPN was very pro Sox last night, but the guys that were on there were new to me. They even said the race in the AL Central is over in their opinion as the Sox have an insurmountable lead. The also said Pods was the pick as the runner that caused pitchers the most grief when he got on, but added other Sox players added to the mix. All in all this "new" group of announcers were good to our Sox.

49-22 = end of argument.

 

 

Check that............

 

 

50 and 22.

 

 

I do like seeing Minnesota in last for attendence % on the road.

road attendence is so dumb.... the only team it can really apply for our yankees, boston, and cubs since they actually draw crowds when they travel... other than that its a crap shoot because a course a team like toronto or baltimore are going to have a better road attendence since they face the yankees and red sox 9 times each while we face the royals/detroit/cleveland/minny all 9 times each and none of them are big attendence drawers.

 

Very good point. Also don't forget teams will have promotions (giveaways) on days when teams that don't draw a lot of national interest come to town in order to boost attendance.
