Soxfest Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Why on earth would MLB make the Sox longest homestand of year in late April and early May in Chicago, and after having the Detroit Tigers for 3 weekend homestands last year I see we got them twice this year along with Seattle twice. Cubs play no one more than once on weekend homestand, weekend games are a premium for attendance and Sox fans should get a little better choice than what we have had the last 2 years.

cwsox Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 luck of the draw just be glad we do not have 3 tigers weekends again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I thought the same thing yesterday. Its like they are setting the Sox up for attendance failure or at least helping. Have the long homestand later in the year with warm weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Is everybody associated with the MLB against us? Oh well. We will prove them wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I don't think it is that intentional, just a lot of teams and park schedules to balance actually works well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 actually i like it, we always play better at home, sets the team up for a better start which as we know, the sox desperately needed last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The Sox have only had 3 home games so far, everyone else in the division has played 6. So a long home stand just balances it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The important thing is we're 8-4 and have only had 1 home series, and we usally are .500 or usally worse on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does. If they can go 8-4 or 9-3, it'll be looking pretty damn sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the beginning of the new Be Good, with smart and insightful White Sox banter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
