August 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) I want a Sweep sooooooo bad. Gotta even out that sweep by the Royals.
August 22, 201213 yr Great win! But where the hell are all the fans?? Did school start already? I bet that's the smallest crowd the Yankees have played in front of all season.
August 22, 201213 yr Discussion Topic: the Royals losses were just any random 3 of a season's worth of losses, game-to-game momentum doesn't exist. Discuss
August 22, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) Discussion Topic: the Royals losses were just any random 3 of a season's worth of losses, game-to-game momentum doesn't exist. Discuss Like Youk said in the interview post game, guys were playing on turf for 4 games, got in to KC late, couple of them were banged up. This will happen during season. I don't think it's all that black and white how us fans seem to think. IMHO.
August 22, 201213 yr solid two wins and nice to see Liriano settle in and go 6 with only 2 runs. on a side note and not taking anything away from the Sox because I'm not sure how it would of lined up if he was healthy, but the NYY really need Captain Cheeseburger back, the Rays are a chargin' Edited August 22, 201213 yr by SoxFan562004

Discuss Sox deserve credit for not letting those 3 losses to the Royals completely bury them. Losing 3 in a row to that horses*** team could have ended the Sox season, sending them spiraling downward. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 03:20 AM) With dynamic pricing, tickets to see the Yankees start at $500. Think they'll keep this dynamic pricing for next season? Fans don't have the moolah cause of Obama. Kidding about Obama, but we're in an economic crisis, baby! Lower those prices and charge 10 bucks for parking til the crises is OVA!!!!

August 22, 201213 yr Liriano in 5 starts with the Sox. Team Record 4-1, personal record 2-0 26.6 IP 24 H 11 ER 9 BB 23 K's 3.71 ERA Winning a higher percentage of starts (80%) than Justin Verlander for the Tigers.

Kidding about Obama, but we're in an economic crisis, baby! Lower those prices and charge 10 bucks for parking til the crises is OVA!!!! For example's sake, we'll say USCF holds 50,000 fans. It doesn't, but we'll say so for simplicity's sake. We'll also say that $10 will bring in a full capacity crowd while a $200 ticket will only bring 20% capacity. $10 X 50,000 = $500,000 $200 x 10,000 = $2,000,000 If you want to pay $10 a ticket, you better be willing to pay for $15 hot dogs. --- Because of math...

Although the thought of Al Davis talking at this point frightens me, because it would bring all my nightmares of him being an actual zombie to life.
August 22, 201213 yr For this game alone, I just want to do one of these (and I never use emoticons) KW Francisco Liriano, after a rough first, has a great start, Kevin Youkilis has yet another big hit, and Brett Myers throws a scoreless 9th. Oh, and Ventura too. To be fair, none of this happens, but those 3 (+Ventura) simply don't happen without Williams. He is going to sleep well tonight thanks to those 3 (+1)
August 22, 201213 yr Nice to see Beckham with another good game. I did not think Youk's HR was gonna go. Off the bat I was glad cuz it was gonna get a run in. Then Swish starting turning and dancing out there and I thought maybe he'd misplay it, then the next thing you know it just carried out. Another great win, and with Sale going tonight we need to get this sweep!
August 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 11:02 PM) Yes, school did start already. Started last week for some schools. Not in Chicago.
August 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 08:00 AM) Not in Chicago. Wrong. Public schools started last week.
August 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 08:00 AM) Not in Chicago. Depends on the schools. Schools going to year-round schedules in the CPS system started last week. A bunch of schools in the suburbs are starting today.

August 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 08:38 AM) Chicago never started until after Labor Day. When did they change that? I think most schools start in the last or second to last week in August now. It seems like it gets earlier every year, though.
