Konerko gets ****s

Damn, sorry for not meeting your standards. I'll do a dead baby joke next time.

Anyhow, I assumed that this shot was taken at a recent game and the image wasn't anywhere in this thread recently (that I saw). Where was the picture posted here before?

Big deal. That guy's an ass.

So our pitching staff has 29 Ks and only 4 BB through three games. That's pretty dang good.

True, keep that perspective. :thumb:

Whatever you do, don't analyze our batting average and ops, you will become cynical at best.

Come to play!!

In the first three games their hitting has been brutal. Bad enough to start out 0-3. On the other side of the coin the pitching has been pretty darn good outside a handful of bad pitches by Santana and one horrible inning by Hoch.

Let's hope getting out of Chicago is the recipe for the lineup!

Hmmmm:hmmm:

Hopefully we get Holliday, his fb was in the upper 80's and every time he got ahead of atl he threw offspeed. Dudes lost right now, could be a great opportunity to blow Philly out and gain some early confidence.

So im confused. Why not pitch Santana on Sunday night so that we can have Shields pitch the home opener?

Saw this on twitter. This was from a game at the old Mistake By the Lake in 1983...

Wow, wonder what the lowest attendance for a MLB game is all time. To Google!

Results:

Ever gone to a sporting event and wondered how the team could survive with so little fans in the stands? Even when this thought crosses your mind, there are usually at least a couple thousand people there. Imagine going to a game and seeing only a few hundred!

How could this happen? In 2011, The Florida Marlins played the Cincinnati Reds and broke the record for the least amount of people at an MLB game. The previous record had been set in 1979 at an Oakland Athletics game with only 653 people. The reason only 347 people turned out was because of Hurricane Irene.

Many of those who had purchased tickets decided to flee the area and save their belongings from the potential damage than attend a sporting event. Justin Cohen, a fan at the game, counted five sections with only three or four people in them and three that were completely empty!

That's amazing.

This was years and years ago... but I remember being at a Royals game (against the Mariners? I think.) where a really bad storm blew through, tons of lightning, and it took 2-3 hours to resume the game. It was a weeknight and really cold after the storm, and by the time the game resumed at 11PM or so... there were literally 5-6 people in the upper deck, and half of them were my family.

There were probably a few hundred people in the lower deck though, but that's the best I've got. Although the more I think about it, maybe it was against the Marlins.

Has anyone here eaten a Junebug?

Yep. I was 3 and deliberately ate it.

Did...you?
