sin city sox fan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I know some people have already written off this season....but for the sane ones who realize there's still a lot of season left, get out to the Cell if you can this week on Tuesday and Wednesday for the games against the Twins. Let's kick them while they are down and pick up two big games that could be the difference come September. Also, it'd be a great way to jump start the good guys in black as we prepare for a big west coast trip. If you can make it, please get out to these games....we need some good crowds and 2 W's.

Milkman delivers Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) There won't be anybody at those games, and justifiably so. I guess everybody is just insane and doesn't realize that 1/6 of the season is already in the books.

BigSqwert Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm guessing 17 to 23K for each of those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2525 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I don't live near the park...but I, in no way, want the Cell packed at any point this week. This team (and the team they will be playing Tuesday and Wednesday for that matter) deserve to play in front of a sparce crowd. The Sox have lost 6 straight at home, and 15 of 18. Why the f*** would anyone want to pack the cell? Team doesn't deserve it. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess there would be more...but Minnesota is terrible thus far this year too, so we will probably lose out on a lot of them making the trip.

sin city sox fan Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Anything less than 35,000 for these games would be embarrassing. Sox fans need to be true fans....not fair weather fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2525 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 There's a difference between being a fair weather fan, and not attending a series between the two teams with the worst record in baseball. It's not like the people who don't show up this week will be following another team. Most of them will probably still watch the game...but for those people who bought tickets this weekend, or the Anaheim series, it's tough to justify spending more good money on a team that could give you another s*** experience. It's not even like the team has played hard every game...to call people "fair weather" is pretty insulting to people who don't have unlimited funds to watch a team whose effort has been in question.

TheChrisSamsa Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'll be there Tuesday to light the fuse. Maybe Wednesday too if I'm feelin saucy! I'm still "All In." Go Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't support our team except when they are winning at a 75% clip, Jerry might as well knock the payroll down to $25 million per season, average about 12,000 fans per game, and make a nice profit off TV revenues.

Embarrassing is for JR to continue this nonsense. If he does not care enough to s*** can people who need fired then why should fans bust there ass to care to come to the park!

I realize that not everyone can afford to go to every game....but based upon the crowds thus far, there's a lot of people who haven't gone to any games (or just a few this year). If the fanbase is not going to support this team, why should the players give a damn? Anybody who wants this team to give a 110% effort every nite should also be willing to give that effort as a fan.

This team is winning at a 35% clip. Only one team in baseball is doing worse and they are coming to Chicago on Tuesday. Considering where this roster ranks payoll wise in the league, I think that is reason to not show up. Call it a protest in a way. And only one team in baseball history has ever won at a 75% clip for a full season anyway, that was 105 years ago. (and they lost the WS to the White Sox) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
