Dick Allen Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 18, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) Cheapest tickets on StubHub today were $19 The majority of those were resales, so there are going to be empty seats. People aren't willing to pay the ridiculous face value prices they are putting on these tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well, that's 34 pitches for Jeff to get through 2 innings. Would be nice to run that total up and hit the Cubs pen by the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NL teams build their offense around the rest of their lineup. Losing one of your best hitters is a lot worse than adding a good hitter to a lineup that is good enough without that player.

How does that make sense? I know we're all Sox fans, but this idea that interleague play only helps the NL is ridiculous. Besides, look at the results for the past decade.
