Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 20, 2004 The Yankees have a no name starter going tonight against Mark Buerhle and the White Sox. He's 0-2 with a .90 ERA in Triple A. He's only pitched 2 games though. Should be funny to hear AngleSault cry about it later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Good start for the Cubs, as they send the entire lineup to bat in the first, scoring four in the process. Is it always that empty for a Pirates home game? I know they're not exactly World Series material, but that crowd's depressing. And that was a web gem from Walker, if I ever saw one.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Unfortunately yes. Pitts has a decent team and a beautiful park but the fans just won't go. I know they aren't going to win any championships anytime soon but I can't imagine the tickets being all that expensive and a trip to the ballpark is always nice.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Marlins already jumped up 2-0 on the Phils. The more newsworthy development, however, is Dontrelle struck out in the 2nd inning, ending his hit streak at 7 at bats. Still has the shutout streak in tact though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 21, 2004 The Skydome is so unbelievabley empty tonight due to Game 7 between the Sens and Leafs. The only time the Jays fans have cheered is when the Leafs scored a goal. Baseball in Canada just isn't a good idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfaJack 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Unfortunately yes. Pitts has a decent team and a beautiful park but the fans just won't go. If the Red Sox had 11 consecutive losing seasons and traded away all their best players at the drop of a hat (Kendall excepted), would you go? The amazing thing is that they got PNC Park to begin with. I'm curious as to how they managed to get the public to go for THAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 And the Yanks are absolutely bitchslapping the Sox. Seven - 0 and the Yanks are still batting in the first. Speaking of bitchslapping, the Cubs are laying a pretty good beating down on the Bucs, 8-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I'd go if that occured on one condition, the tickets had to be low priced. I've often wished I was born around a small market team and raised a fan of them...like the Brewers or Pirates. I would have done my homework as a child and then headed over to the ballpark where a seat is always guarenteed cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfaJack 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Baseball in Canada just isn't a good idea Uh, I and many others are probably going to disagree with you on this. The Jays were in the top 5 in the league in attendance from 1984 until 1997, and it took all the way until 2000 for them to dip back below the 2,000,000 mark. To say that baseball is a bad idea in Canada is just wrong. Montreal is the obvious exception, but that has as much or more to do with poor ownership and baseball's screwing with the franchise now as it does a poor fanbase.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 21, 2004 If you disagree with it then go support your team. I mean if you live in or near Toronto they have a $2 for Tuesday deal on select seating. There's no excuse for Skydome constantly being empty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Since no one else has commented, the Marlins beat the Phillies 3-1, proving that no matter what happens, the Phillies can't beat the Marlins. More importantly, Dontrelle Willis only allowed one UNearned run so he is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 19 and 2/3 innings. Sophomore slump is definitely not evident.
