Evidently Jerry can't resist alienating the fans. From the '05 love fest to the questionable personnel decisions this past off-season to this:

After winning the 2005 World Series, the White Sox were one of the hottest tickets in the majors in 2006.

But it will cost a few dollars more in 2007 to see what could be the Mark Buehrle/Jermaine Dye farewell season, especially if you want to sit close at U.S. Cellular Field.

Individual tickets, which go on sale to the general public on Feb. 16, will increase from $2 in the upper deck sections to $3 in the lower box sections.

The increase comes one year after the Sox won 90 games but finished third in the competitive American League Central. Despite falling short of the postseason, the Sox drew a franchise-record 2,957,411 fans.

Owners suck, but the cubs raised their prices too after winning 66 games last year. The price of beer will probably go up too.

Wow a $3 price increase. I'm going to have to dig into my 401K now.
