flavum Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The weather looks pretty good the rest of the homestand. Even if it's a little low tonight, I hope Saturday and Sunday get well over 30,000. They should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 08:26 AM) I don't know what the weather will do to tonight's attendance, but my hope is that the streak brings out the casual fans. Like independents in an election, they make all the difference for a team like the Sox. The one thing that annoys me about casual Sox fans...they seem to come up with any little excuse not to go to games. "We just won 8 straight and Peavy is pitching tonight!" "Yeah but it won't be 76 degrees" or "Who wants to see Seattle...they suck" or "This might be a fluke....let me see how they do after the next few games" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Felix vs. Sox at Cell: 1-4 4.42 ERA 1.42 WHIP Peavy vs. Mariners: 5-1 2.12 ERA 1.03 WHIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyuen Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I have a bet with a friend on who will have more career wins, Buehrle or Felix. Made this bet two years ago. Steak dinner at Maestros. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Mark already has 77 more total wins on the career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We just won 8 straight and Peavy is pitching tonight!" "Yeah but it won't be 76 degrees" or "Who wants to see Seattle...they suck" or "This might be a fluke....let me see how they do after the next few games" How about this one: "I have limited funds to make the 3 hour drive and spend $150 at the ballpark (on a rainy night vs the Mariners) due to the fact that I have 2 bachelor parties this month, just spent $1200 last night on a king bed, (can't wait to sleep in it Sat night after the Sox 11th consecutive win) and I'm going to watch the series in St. Louis on the 14th". I think that "excuse" gives me a pass for the night. But then again, I'm not a "casual fan" either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hold true for Kenny Williams if he doesn't attend a game at the Cell? Biggest reason so many people are discussing it right now is based on Kenny's comments the other day.

Everyone acted like it was to be expected this year, and that was why they cut the payroll as much as they did. It wasn't until KW talked the other day that you started to actually hear the media discuss it. Even FM radio stations this morning were encouraging "more Sox fans to attend games".

It has been talked about all year on sports radio. We're back to the stupid attendance posts. Hell soon enough we'll be back to measuring inches of columns in the Tribune.
