The Critic Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Doesn't have the same impact during the day IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 blackouts need to be saved for truly "big games." Opening day does not fit my blackout criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 He may be calling for a blackout, but I ain't answering the phone. In all honesty, I think it would equally as good in the day as it won't look like there's no fans. With that said, I fully expect half the stadium to be out of dress code.

fathom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 People really don't understand KW's comments. He's simply asking Ozzie to start Andruw Jones instead of Kotsay on Opening Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 unless Brooks gets on this s*** and sends out some commercials and a bunch of press through TV / news papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSidePride05 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I think it's a good idea. It's on national television, opening day is always a sellout, and stuff like this gets noticed and consequently sells more tix for future games. BTW, will Chicagoland Comcast viewers be able to watch it on ESPN2 or will it be blacked out in local areas? I'd rather watch ESPN2 than CSN.

Blackout games should be reserved for MUST WIN games. I hope they don't wear it out. I was there at the play in game in 08. Blackout games have POWER. I've witnessed it first hand. I was there screaming at the top of my lungs "THIS AIN'T THE DOME B**HES!!!" And like Peter Parker's Uncle Ben says... "With great power comes great responsibility".

kev211 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Still if your going to the game don't not wear black because you don't believe in it, wear black because a half assed blackout is worse then a full opening day black out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like Peter Parker's Uncle Ben says... "With great power comes great responsibility". We must not misuse the power of the Blackout... Technically, aren't all games must win games? I think KW is trying to set the tone for the season. Come out with intensity from the opening gate and jump out to a huge lead. It's the same as in 2005 when we came out blazing. I understand it and if I were going to Opening Day, I'd fully support it.

This! Please, just do it for the sake of not embarassing the organazation. The place would look horrible with a half blackout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
