Wait, what?

f*** CLEVELAND!

Wait, what?

 

Your sense of humor is broken.

Time to remind Derek Lowe that he is old & sucks so much at baseball that the Braves are paying him $10 million to go away

Your sense of humor is broken.

Yes.

Never Forget !

Never Forget !

 

lol I can only imagine what new members are going to think of this one day...

If the Sox really do end up competing the Cubs series , the beaning of Konerko will have been the turning point and Never Forget will be the new rally Crede.

I'm surprised attendance has not improved.

Carlos Santana, Asdrubal Cabrara not expected to play today bec of injuries from Fri. #Indians have lost 3, S, 5 hitters is 2 gms.

I'm surprised attendance has not improved.

 

I'm convinced that if you're coming off multiple bad years, in a northern, open-air park, you're not going to get the attendance until June, no matter how good the team is.

It's just not an easy thing for a lot of people to pick up and go to a game on a whim. It's a big time and money commitment that usually is made days or weeks ahead of time.

 

Also, I think what they charge for parking is absurd.

I'll be there today! Wearing my Paulie jersey with pride and getting my Robin bobblehead!

Especially with this Dynamic Pricing model which makes buying tickets the day of the game like paying scalper's prices to sold out games, yet there will be close to 10,000 unsold tickets.

 

If you're someone who only goes to games a couple of times a year, you are probably not going to be choosing April or May dates well in advance. Way too risky in Chicago.

The dynamic pricing has kept me from going to games. My ability to be in Illinois was rather unscripted so while I'd love to just decide to drive up to Chicago and see a game, the ticket always costs a fortune.

Last night there was 21k, like I said in the winner thread, the attendance is creeping up. If the Sox keep winning then the attendance will keep going up.

Look at the Sox attendance historically and they've never drawn in April/May when they weren't very good the season before. Unfortunately for them most of their choice home games are early in the season which is one of the reasons I'm sure they had such a drastic payroll cut. As far as attendance goes, this year is all about shoring up and growing the season ticket base some in what remains a very tough economic climate.

Peavy has pitched pretty much lights out this season, and Cleveland is down three guys who usually mash vs. the Sox. So he should be good.

 

It's all a matter of can the Sox get to Lowe early before the sinker starts sinking good. Gotta get it up. If they're pounding it into the ground early it's gonna be a long day....

Sox fans seem to do a good job showing up when we're really in it. We just have to [stay] in it. If we don't make a playoff run, I don't expect attendance to be good. That's what happens when you rebuild, so I'm sure the Sox are prepared for either outcome.

Dunn in particular seems to do a very good job of getting a big shot off of starters before they're sharp in the first inning.

Let's hope De Aza and Beckham are both on for that blast.
