TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 What a game tonight. Wore my hat and jersey and didn't get killed. Got to see A-Rod fail with RISP and it was just a really fun game. Prob my favourite that I've been to. Rubbing it in when it was over was the best part. 0-4 and we booed the shit out of him in my section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Yea where I was, A-Rod got booed after every AB. In the 8th, when Jeter was on second, and A-Rod up, you just knew he was gonna blow it. Where were you sitting? There were a lot more Braves fans then I thought, even though I think I was the most vocal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 May I add, the Yankees bullpen SUCKS. Rare good-great outing for Jaret Wright (6 innings, 5 hits, 1 run), the pen can't do shit, especially, you guessed it, Farnsy, and they can't hit their way out of a paper bag tonight to give J-Wright some back up.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Well, they can give all those young guys in the Yankee farm system a sh......oh. Seriously, the guys on ATH were saying that the Yankees are going to make a bunch of deals and fix everything, but I have no clue WHO they have to trade. Melky? With TWO outfielders on the shelf? Cano? Then who plays 2nd? Chacon? They need all the starting pitching they have right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 So I'm listening to Fox Sports Radio right now (I'm a masochist) and the guy filling in for The Brick is all confused about Red Sox fans cheering Pedro tonight when they were booing Damon a few months ago. Is it really hard to grasp that Damon is booed because he signed with a rival when he said he wouldn't go there and then dumped the Jesus look for the Metrosexual Johnny look? I mean, if Jeter would ever sign with Boston, he wouldn't get a happy reception back at Yankee Stadium now, would he? It's a rivalry. Damon pulled the same thing with Oakland when he came to Boston, so it's logical that A's fans would boo him as well. That's how these things work, you moron.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Thank god I went to the movies instead of watching the Cubs game. I left right after they botched the run down and heard they were down 3-0 later on. I figured that was it, but looking at the Gameday stats, it looks like they should've just rolled over and played dead. How much worse do things need to get before something, anything is done? Is it so unreasonable that a team that cost almost $100 million to assemble is TWENTY games under .500? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd LOVE to see Beckett go 1 1/3 assuming it's because the Mets are beating his ass and not due to an injury. Pitching duels are only fun when your team wins, and I wouldn't mind seeing a laugher tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Is it possible for the Yanks to trade A-Rod. I know that probably no team could suck up his salary except like the Sox or Mets, and neither really needs a 3B. But, it's best for all parties if they mercifully ship A-Rod out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 If A-Rod is willing to play 2B for the Mets, we'd welcome him with open arms. . . until he K's with the bases loaded in a clutch situation in an important game and then gets booed again. His salary basically means he can only play in one of baseball's biggest markets so he either needs to start getting clutch hits, or just suffer the wrath of the fans. The only team I could see him doing well for that could afford him would be the Cubbies. Their fans don't care if you win or lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget that Alex is actually a SS, and a damn fine one at that. Gotta love that team player Jeter. If he wasn't making as much money as he is, the Yankees would trade him. I know the Red Sox would take him in a second, but the likelihood that they could work out a deal with New York is between slim and none. A trade would be the best for all involved parties though.

Have you been reading the baseball threads all year long? The Cubs fans here do care. And yet the Cubs are still # 6 in attendance this year averaging 39,687 per game, or 96.5% capacity. Bruiser and Czech do not represent most Cubs fans. If the Yankees or Mets were 40 games under .500 in June they'd be lucky to get 12,000 in the building. I realize paid attendance and actual attendance are two different things, but Cubs fans just don't care for the most part and will still support their team no matter how much they suck year in, and year out. Brewers/Cubs attendance last night when neither team is going anywhere, 39,399. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I don't get how Roger was supposed to turn the Astros around when they can't score a run. I guess they plan on making a run at some bats at the trade deadline.

Not to mention, alot of the people there are tourists who are at Wrigley for the first time. Tourists don't care what the Cubs records is, they are there for the whole Wrigley Field experience. So you get a collection of the usual die-hards, casual fans and the tourist draw, you'll have a high attendence mark. Towns like Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh among others with traditionally shitty clubs aren't going to get high attendence to cover the fact the home teams suck because no one goes to Cleveland to see a game at Jacobs Field. Saying Chicago fans don't care is a completely dumb thing to say just based on the attendence records. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 The Cubs haven't won a title in almost 100 years. They haven't been good in at least half of those 100 years. Yet, they sell out or come close to doing so for almost every home game, every year that I can remember. Only fans who don't care if the team is any good continue to support it by going to games. The Knicks and Rangers used to make acquiring a ticket at MSG a near impossibility. After sucking donkey dick for a few years you could have purchased Knicks season tickets without having to wait 20 more years like things were headed during the Ewing era. The Cubs could finish last in the NL every year for a decade, and they'd still be pulling in close to 40,000 a game and people would still root, root, root for the Cubbies. Again, Czech and Bruiser do not represent most Cubs fans. I think there's a special place in heaven for guys like those who can continue to torment themselves simply for the love of the game, but they're not typical fans of that team.

I think there's a special place in heaven for guys like those who can continue to torment themselves simply for the love of the game, but they're not typical fans of that team. Do you live remotely near Lake Michigan? Do you interact with lots of Cubs fans? Do you read our papers? Where are you coming up with these judgments? You're saying that the majority of Cub fans don't care about losing because people come to the park. Apparently it's a virtue now to quit on your team when they're losing. Last I checked, you're supposed to support your team through thick and thin. (I mean, that was the slogan on all the local Chicago Bulls season ticket commercials for the six years that Jerry Reinsdorf did fuck-all with the team.) The majority of Cub fans really love this team, want to see them do well, and don't mind spending a day at Wrigley Field when they can, because it's a great place to see a game. Why hold that against fans? Not going isn't going to make the team better. (And neither is tearing down Wrigley, for that matter, like some idiots seem to think. As if getting rid of that pesky tourist destination will finally let the Cubs concentrate on winning. What happens when they don't? The Cubs would suck ass, and they wouldn't even have a nice park to see them suck in.) Of course Wrigley brings in some meatheads in pink dress shirts, but no, they do not represent the majority of the fanbase. But hey, you know us better than I do, so I'll defer to you.
