Flying in for a couple games, need info
Ozzie for Manager replied to Ozzie for Manager's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Well we picked the right game for her first game. On our way to Chicago. Verlander vs Cease. Picked up 2 tickets right next to sox dugout, 8th row. Tickets were going on stubhub the last 2 days so should be great crowd. Some of you mentioned skylark which sounds good. How close is that to the stadium? Walking or uber? Taking red line in early. And when do gates open for sox games? Thanks for all the advice, staying in mag mile area. -

I was just rechecking the thread I started a couple months about heading to watch a few games. My better half and me are flying in on the 16th and heading home on the 19th with a plan to see the tuesday and thursday games while checking out Chicago on Wednesday. I really want to see Cease pitch and he is scheduled for Tuesday. Hopefully the weather holds out. Thanks for all the responses, we are going to stay in the Mag Mile. Now a question on some tickets. She wants to sit down below near the sox dugout, do you guys know if tickets prices on stubhub, etc. usually go down the day or two before the game or should I just buy them now? I think I paid about $100 for 2 tickets in the 5th row behind sox dugout when my son and I went in 2016. I expect they will be a lot more now. I wouldnt mind sitting in the outfield but its her first MLB game ever so I am giving her what she wants. -
And where did he lose his ability to actually run? In his last 250 major league games he has 3 SBs. In the minors he stole 30+ per year, The prior 250 games he had over 20, and its not like your years 25-27 should make you slower, those are your peak physical years.

I think Moncada is throwing games. Nobody can be that bad -
Josh Donaldson called Tim Anderson "Jackie"
Ozzie for Manager replied to Buehrle>Wood's topic in Pale Hose Talk
When my son told me he called Donaldson Jackie Robinson I said cool. Totally thought it was a compliment. But then again I dont immediately try to find how something is racist. When I played in a adult basketball league in Kinston, NC which is considered the top basketball city in the country with like 8 NBA players in its history I was the only white guy in the league. The PA announcer was calling me Bobby Hurley because he went to Duke and I was playing PG for our team. I didnt take it as a racist remark, took it as a compliment. I was a white guy who was playing pretty well. This country has a problem with race because we publicize stupid crap like this. Everyone is offended, Football and basketball players must be laughing because the trash talk that goes on in those games is 100x worse. -

Appreciate the info everyone. I took my son to 2 games during John Danks last year, we were terrible. I made the mistake of booking a brand new la quinta inn. Unfortunately it was in the scary part of town where the uber guy told me to be very careful. I dont want to make that mistake again. -
So I have made my girlfriend a huge Sox fan. She has never seen a MLB game in person so we are flying in from Raleigh, NC in June to spend a few days in Chicago and go to 2 games. Looking like 2 of the games against the Orioles. Which airport is best to fly into? Which area is best to stay in? Going to 2 sox games and will also have a free day to explore Chicago. Any recommendations on some food places we need to eat at would be appreciated?

Engel to IL (Again), Foster down, Burr/Wright Up. Burdi DFA
Ozzie for Manager replied to Capn12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I am biased because I watched Wright pitch at ECU in college. He has had his moments over the years. Not many, but he went to Korea during Covid and pitched and did pretty well. Happy to see him get another shot. Maybe he learned some things in Korea -
Now that was funny. Kudos to you.

Cancel culture strikes again. Don't agree with someone's politics and you get cancelled. Schilling will never get in and its too bad. Curt just needs to put some pictures of himself wearing a Biden shirt and he will get like 95% of the vote next year. It is sad we are actually letting whether you are a Dem or Rep determine whether you get into the HOF. Lets be honest, they both kind of suck. Free Speech used to be a pretty good thing in this country. And Jeff Kent I guess wasnt flashy enough either. Didnt kiss enough reporter ass apparently. His numbers are the best ever for 2nd basemen. He has the most HRs at 2B and has more RBIs than Mickey Mantle, Vlad Guerrero, Mark Mcgwire. Kind of crazy

Wow, only allowed 59 stolen bases. Crazy stat.
