    Feldman is pitching well and Arroyo blows 81's goat. We need a win tonight!

    It's crazy how no one cares about the Sox-Cubs series anymore. I remember how excited I used to get for it. Now it's just another series. A friend was at the game last night and he said tons of people cleared out of their seats to go to the bullpen bar and bacardi at the park place to watch the Hawks game.

    game 6, facing elimination, or a meaningless cubs/sox game. i'm not suprised. in pitt last week, they had like 12K for a game on the night the pens were facing the sens in ottawa. next day, they had like 20k.


    but i agree, city isn't buzzing as in years past. new format? blackhawks? both teams pretty much stink? interleague is played out? lack of people to hate? (ozzie, aj, the guy that punched aj, zambrano)

    i'm going with both teams stink and the hawks were playing.

    maybe sale can plunk a couple of cubs tonight and spice things up.

    Oh yeah, I definitely understand why no one gave a shit about last night. But like you said, there used to be a pretty big buzz for these crosstown series and now there isn't much at all. I think it's a combination of both teams not being very good and the whole interleague thing being pretty played out at this point. Although I am excited for tonight.....but that is mainly because Chris Sale is pitching.

    Yep. Who in their right mind would sit and watch the Cubs or Sox play when the Blackhawks are on? :?
    But yeah, I used to get excited for the Cubs-Sox series. I think it's a combination of both teams sucking, no rivalry like in years past (both teams being "in it", having crazy guys like Zambrano, Ozzie, AJ...). It's just a total :yawn: now.
    I still like interleague play, but it def isn't as exciting anymore.

    I agree.

    Obviously, two bad teams aren't going to draw fans like a couple of contenders would.

    It seems like attendance at interleague games is low at a lot of parks. There were a ton of empty seats at the Mets-Yankees game last night.

    I would also argue that weather and the Hawks game last night had a big impact on attendance.
