[/ QUOTE ] I never said Cubs attendance will drop. I said there's an above average chance it will. Wrigley isn't packed for 81 home games a year and if the team is nearing 90 or 100 losses in September, they probably aren't going to be drawing against teams like PIT/ATL/COL/CIN/LAD.

[/ QUOTE ] Fair enough. I'm curious to see the final attendance results. There's no denying that the Cubs have outdrawn the Sox so far though, even though the Cubs are clearly horrible this year.

Sorry boy [/ QUOTE ] I don't know many Sox fans this matters to. I guess it's more important for us to be #1 in baseball than #1 in city-wide fan support. I'll take #2 in "ChiTown" and another World Series ring, please. Thank you.

Re: Ozzie Guillen
Look out here comes the attendance argument.
I can't believe how Cubs fans can continue to bring up this point and not see how retarded it makes their fans seem. So you pay the 2nd highest ticket prices in baseball (behind only the Red Sox) to watch one of the worst teams in baseball and line the Tribune Company's pockets with gold so they have no impetus to improve the team. Real quality argument.

Re: Ozzie Guillen
[ QUOTE ]
i don't think it was a direct retaliation, but i went to a 2004 game where garcia beaned koskie three times and was not even warned. the twins fans behind me were livid, but there was no retaliatory beaning by the twins (the everett HBP was incidental and occurred the inning before the third koskie beaning). but ozzie wouldn't have even made it to the plate the third time, because he already would have been dead or in the hospital or whatever. i guess the canucks just play ball differently than the venezuelans, eh? [/ QUOTE ] If anything could be considered retaliation for the Jamie Burke incident, it would be this game. Especially since it happened the very next night. July 26th was the Burke/Hunter game, and Koskie gets drilled 3 times the next night. The funny thing is I was at the game where Burke got steamrolled, and I don't remember the next night. I don't know what the circumstances were, but you'd think considering the hubbub from the night before 3-HBP wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Even reading the recaps none of the Twins seemed to think the Koskie HBP's were intentional.
