rangercal Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) It's day 2 of the season after a thrilling opening day win, against a division rival on a nice day... and the join is absolutely barren. What am I missing here? Is it a built-in reluctance of this fan base to believe in the team this early? Or is this what we can expect the rest of the year? Seriously, I thought the fan base was a little energized after this offseason. Dude if you state your opinion here you will be bashed. Then if you start an argument with a moderator it is all over. All the sheep will come and help. So you will lose this argument 10 out of 10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt35 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) Last year's second home game attendance: 11,765 nothing new. Still, I'm not exactly feeling good about the freaking Tigers and Pirates out-drawing us on a 75-degree afternoon in April... KC @ DET: 14,168 MIL @ PIT: 12.077 CLE @ SOX: 10,520 Fortunately, we don't play like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't take yourself too seriously you should be OK. Plus this place actually has posters that know their stuff. You can learn a thing or two, and this coming from I'm sure one of the older members. On another note, for all my life (looong time) the Sox have never been a big draw in April or May. If the Sox are contenders the Cell ( can't stand that name) will rock in the dog days of summer. Sox fans are loyal, but they aren't sheep. I don't like JR particularly, but enough. He ain't going nowhere, and I want a reason to get pysched this year. I think this team can surprise a lot of people.

They're outdrawing in Detroit I bet because Redwings season ticket holders probably got a bunch of free Tigers tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 People on this board were generally excited for the team after the offseason but I wouldn't say the fanbase in general was. They all think that we lost our best players. Time will tell whose right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware of admins, they can sentence you to banishment or worse, the MLB boards. Mods are designed to get beat up. We're the air bags for admins.

Be Good Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Not that this is related to the topic of home attendence but surpise to me, The Sox are last in the league at pct. of filling up the stadium on the road. I think that it must be that we play the twins, tigers, indians, and royals 19 times each or whatever it is. And Those 4 staudiums don't draw too well.

GoodAsGould Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 yeah but i think today was because the game is so early people cant get too it.... its 2 early for people to leave from work and all the kids/teenagers are all still in school.... games should be at like 3 earliest.
