southsider2k5 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) You know full well that at optimum price levels you don't sell out every ticket. You just get really close ;-) As hard as they were hitting the ads, I don't think they really came close... otherwise they wouldn't have needed the ads still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) They were trying to sell tickets all of the way up until today. I don't think they made it. Do you remember how much it used to cost before they switched hotels? I really do miss being able to go to Soxfest, it really was a blast.

knightni Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) Hurray! green? Thank about it. Why would they want the media hanging over them all year? "Are you going to re-sign Ozzie? "Is this Ozzie's last year?" "Are you not extending Ozzie because of Oney's Tweeting?" - Incessantly repeated over and over from Spring Training through September. Now, if they want to let Ozzie go after 2011, they can without questions and just pay him for 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Meh. If we're gonna worry about Ozzie getting questions from the media about his contract situation, then we might as well sign him forever or something. Seems kind of pointless. I'd much rather do it in-season. Edited January 21, 2011 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My take is that a manager's actions can hurt a team more than they can help a team. I feel Ozzie is a feast or famine manager; his highs are high, and his lows are low, therefore if I were a GM he wouldn't be my manager.

I'd much rather do it in-season. This is fine. No matter what happens with the White Sox this year, Ozzie will be in demand. Having him under contract makes it possible they could get compensation for basically "firing" him next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
