They just don't know the fan. They got me for twenty games so far this year. I wasn't planning on it, but I figured I was going to go to at least that many. Might as well buy the fucking things.

I don't think it takes much to make the regular fan happy. How about when it's 40 degrees and rainy on April 15 and I'm out there watching them get pasted 11-1 by Detroit. Why not give the 900 people who stay to the end a voucher for a free ticket equal to what they had for that shitfest? The guy in the scout seats probably went back to Highland, Indiana in a limo after the third inning, so it won't cost you your top seats anyway. They could rule out the Cubs, Yankees, and Red Sox. Just another ticket for any other game. That would make me happy.

I'll never forget the hard line they took with me after they called a game against Tampa in '07 when it never even rained. They wouldn't return my money or give me a makeup on a Saturday. They wanted to replace my Saturday ticket with a fucking Monday afternoon. And the ticket rep wondered why I was pissed. They won't spend thirty bucks to keep me as a full season ticket guy, but they'll spend hundreds trying to get me back. It's idiotic.
