Not a big baseball fan. This isn't newsworthy. I'm not pimping a blog. I know not many people care. I also know there are more important things to talk about. Hurricanes. North Korea. Global Cooling. Healthcare. Tax Reform. Pizza...definitely pizza. Trump's Tweets - and he put out a mother lode of them today.
But I'm sitting here in a Long Island bar, Millers Ale House in Lake Grove, and they have this game on with Red Sox ace Chris Sale pitching and the stands are pretty much empty. Just thought I'd point that out.
Not a big baseball fan but I never remember a game that had this few people in the stands.
Those Cleveland Indians...they have now won 25 of the last 26 games. How amazing is that? Maybe they draw a bigger crowd.
Now people pay $200 a ticket to watch women-beaters like Ezekiel Elliott who quit on their team.
I don’t know but the area adjacent to the ball park looked pretty bad to me.
My husband is a huge SOX fan.
I would go to watch the Senators in DC when my dad could afford the $2 for nosebleed seats.
The first year the Nationals brought baseball back to DC they played at RFK and I paid scalpers prices for the home opener. Wanted to take my kids to see the bigs. First base line, three rows back. Wished my dad was still with us.
My middle boy took it all in and said, “Dad, wouldn’t it be cool to sit way up there?”
The onramp for I95.
Well, it's obvious you aren't following the case. Of the three investigators the NFL assigned to the case, only one of the three, a female, actually talked to the 'victim' and came away severely questioning the credibility of the the woman who changed her story every time she was spoken to. The case is another railroad job performed by that piece of garbage Goodell.
I actually do somewhat agree that the NFL fouled it up, but he’s still a piece of ghetto trash just the same. And he showed his true colors on Sunday.
Frankly one of his teammates should have decked him in the locker room after the game.
The actual funny part is that all the SJW virtue signaling by pro sports is pushed by a demographic that has no interest in pro sports other than as a target to attack.
The NFL, in particular, can win nothing from its antics and has been and will continue to constantly and consistently loose because of those antics.
NASCAR is jumping onto the same idiot death spiral.
Yes...and $50.00 to pahk the cah.
I was a huge baseball fan until the 1994 strike...
Basically it was **** these players and owners...I wrote them off completely...
I pretty much never watched a game or had any interest until the Tampa Rays went to the World Series in 2008...
Hard not to watch your home team going to the WS !!!
I forgetten have much I loved the game...and really enjoyed telling my family the ins and outs of how the game is played...
I do catch a game or two when I can...I just wish they would play in a real baseball stadium instead of the toxidome.

On September 22, 1966, paid attendance of 413 was announced at the 65,000-seat Yankee Stadium.

Those were the days...
and many times using a pencil without an eraser.
As a kid, I used to buy a program and score the game with a number two pencil.
It's crazy to drive to Fenway.Park in the burbs and take the T...that's what we always did as kids (of course we couldn't drive so we walked to the T).
I live in the Baltimore suburbs, about 40 miles east up I-95.
I used to attend various sporting events in Baltimore, but haven’t been down in the city since 2004.
I remember when the Orioles had to relocate a series against Tampa down to Florida during the Freddie Gray riots.
Baltimore used to be known as “Charm City.” Now, it’s right in there with the likes of Chicago as far as the murder rate is concerned.
At this point, you couldn’t pay me to venture into town any longer.
So sad—and no hope for the future as Baltimore remains in the ironclad grip of the Dems.
Your words to my lips
I love baseball. Currently watching the Nationals at Atlanta. Lots of empty seats. Funny how the folks you can see close are all looking at their phones. Lol.
I follow the Nationals, Yankees and Indians and think the all have interesting players that are exciting to watch. Love baseball on the radio out in the yard in the summertime. Especially John Sterling and Susan Waldman.
But that’s just me.
Oh Indeed. Driving ANYWHERE in Boston is horrible, but the Fenway area on Game Day is LEGENDARY.
