I liked pfflier’s line below:
Call the box office, ask when the game starts.
“When can you get here?”

Sort of like 3 Rivers Stadium circa 1987.

I was not aware that your average baseball fan was prone to rioting and looting.

This is an iconic event.

America’s game - shut down due to urban violence.

Here’s a great quote from another article:

“I don’t think the strangeness has set in right now,” Sox infielder Gordon Beckham said. “I’ve never played in a big-league stadium that was empty. The closest I came was at the end of the season in Cleveland when there was like 1,000 people there. It’ll be interesting. We’ve talked about possibly doing some cheering without any noise just to, kind of, add to it.”

On the bright side, getting out of the parking lot after the game will be a cinch.

Three things that were so American.

Chevrolet, Baseball & Mom's Apple Pie.

Chevrolet when bankrupt

Baseball has no fans in the park

What is 0bama going to do to Mom's Apple Pie?

Was just out for a walk with some of my boys here at work; one is a Braves fan, he was telling me that there is a guy playing on the Nationals, who the Braves are playing in a series currently, name of Dan Ugglah, I think that’s how you spell it, well anyway he plays on the Nats but the Braves still have him under contract for some strange reason; he made $78,000 for playing last night!
I swear if I was a billionaire I wouldn’t give a single cent to any pro sports team; they threaten to move if the taxpayers don’t build them new stadia, then jack the prices up on everything to astronomical levels, then lock the fans out a la Baltimordor.
I’m not a liberal so I wouldn’t make pro sports illegal just because I don’t like it, but I swear if I was dictator for a day some things would change!

I hope that never happens to the Mariners. If they won with no eyewitnesses, nobody would believe it.

the team’s managers and the players should have refused to play the game until its open for the fans

Reminds me of Charlie Rich’s hit song; Behind Closed Doors.
I think Hillary is already planning to use that in her campaign.

The players have bats. They can help fend off the paid democrat rioters.

I wish to thank the Blacks of Baltimore for their contribution to the sullying of baseball. Their tireless efforts to disrupt and destroy business and surrounding communities are showing direct impacts to nations and people worldwide. Baltimore’s social and touristic dollars will surely affect the so-called ‘community’ that apparently Blacks can destroy with impunity, as such violence is within their ‘space.’
