I will be headed to Comiskular this evening and I hope to see many of my fine fellow Sox fans at the park.

Abreu is hot, Sale on the Bump, GREAT weather!

Guessing 59,000 combined Fri and Sat

Great night to go. My family is going to a play and I will be sitting in the driveway overserving myself.

I missed my chance to meet the BagMan??? Sec 107 row 15. Might guess about 8000 were actually there last night? Temp held out at 59 until the end of the game, dropped to 43 by the time we made it home.

Have to admit it , that sucks. I didn't jump on the day after opening day pic, because it's one of the worst attended games in all of baseball, especially in colder climates. I posted the pic and the quote of Hawk saying "10,625, I don't believe it", but thats why I posted it.

You work all week, hell, all winter and you see the first nice night. Your ace is pitching, your guy just clubbed 2 the night before, you know you can walk up and find some cheap tickets and I still don't think 13,605 was at the game. Maybe half that.

The whole "Sox fans need for their team to prove it" is just bullshit. It's an ever declining fan base and I made my point last night to the powers that be about almost everything I have written here over the past 5-10 years.

While I can't tell you what took hold and what didnt, their was this conversation.

ME "Do you look at Fan graphs"
THEM "Of course, who doesn't, it's like our cliff notes"
ME "So you think they do a good job and the content is correct?"
THEM "Sure, it's just as detailed as our reports"
ME "Well we can argue if that detail even gets reviewed by the people it is intended for, but if you agree with them http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/broadcaster-rankings-tv-intro-and-31/"
THEM "well, we aren't changing"
ME "I know, but the first step is realizing you have a problem"
THEM 'LOL"

Have you seen this interview with the old radio announcer from the '80s?

My only issues with the new owners were from a broadcasting standpoint. I don’t think they ever really knew what they wanted to do with me. Jerry and Eddie always had a fascination with former players and I never played in the big leagues.


What on earth is Jerry Reinsdorf's fetish for retired players calling play-by-play? Not color, but play-by-play! What a weirdo.

Eating Dinner at the Sox game and Farmer walks up, says hello, says some placating crap and he goes on his way.
I ask why he is still here.
Simple, Jerry likes him. Same with Hawk and Stone.
Jerry likes Farmios stories. He thinks it's an attraction. :shock:

Dick move by the sox today. Start an hour late and then delay the game at bottom 4. Plenty of opportunities to make up this guy with Cleveland. Shit like this.

May 26th Memorial Day. Perfect opportunity for a double-header and essentially a "weekend" day. But nope, just had to fit this game in today by delaying it an hour, then 25 minutes in the middle and having fans sit in the rain for other periods. Running the bases for kids got correctly cancelled due to rain. Couldn't have been more than 5,000 in the stands. But at least they milked us for all they could during the delays!!! These people can't help themselves.
