You could get bleacher tickets for $10-$20...

There were PLENTY of empty seats last year.....

Granted those tickets were sold....
But people werent going to the games.......

35,000 sold...
Actual attendance 25,000

I went to 2 games last year since I love cold beer in the sun and peanuts but wont pay for a ticket....

Mid summer..craigslist giving away tix in lower level..
September....guy on street gave me 4 tix for free.

I havent been to a game in 3 years.....

When going to a baseball game costs $200 for 2 tickets, and a couple of hot dogs......
Then I no longer need to go to a game....

Fuck em....

i gave away plenty of tickets last year....and threw some in the trash.

they were free to me.

this year, i need to find some cheap tickets...i don't mind going to a game and having a few beers...but like you guys, i won't be buying tickets from the ticket office.

Darwin Barney Fife hit .238 after the all-star break last year.......

Great....
Just fucking great.....

Maybe next week I will look at some of our pitching stats....

I would do it today....
But I have already made myself sick......

I like what he did with boston..lets see what he can do with the cubs...but I also expect results now.

Yeah, I guess I can't understand it since I'm not a Cubs fan (thank god). But at least the Cubs are heading in the right direction....much better than what is going on the other side of town.

Go Blackhawks???

i agree with indifference. theo knows what he's doing. he didnt get lucky like kw did in 05.

the cubs suck, yes, but at least they suck with a plan. the sox just plain suck.

See that's the problem. People are gonna have to give Theo time. Hendry basically pissed away anything that was decent in the farm system to get Garza. We have to give Theo time to clean up Hendry's shit storm, and it won't happen over night. That's why I'm already writing off the next 2 years. Play the young guys, let them get experience, hopefully they gel, see what you have and fill in the pieces with free agents in 3-4 years. I expect 90+ loss seasons the next 2 years, hoping in 3 yrs we can be at least a .500 team and then in year 4 be a contender. Anything better in the first 3 years will be icing on the cake.
