Haha road Mariners are an offensive juggernaut. Instead of moving the fences in we should just keep the roof closed if its below 70 degrees.

Believe its been 5 years they've averaged 30,000 to 35,000 a year.

Edit

2011: 73-89 / 35,923
2010: 83-79 / 35,497
2009: 92-70 / 32,902
2008: 74-88 / 32,719
2007: 90-73 / 28,979
2006: 76-86 / 25,980
2005: 67-95 / 23,634

Attendance has gone up despite an overall drop in record year to year.

Coors Field is basically an amusement park, walk around to see the sites and laugh at whats being put out on the field. Its not like the Broncos and their stadium where its about football and the game that day

You call that losing? Come back to me when you have nine losing seasons in a row, then we'll talk.

I remember reading a BP article about attendance patterns after a team makes the playoffs. It was a while ago, but from what I remember these attendance patterns are what are expected. They will start to drop soon though.

I'll see if I can dig up the book it was in when I get home.

Sorry, not interested in a pissing contest. Rockies dip their toe into the water and want the fans to believe they're serious. They do just enough in order to stay afloat and the masses buy into what they're selling.

As a Jays fan this week has been horrendous. I do hope Lawrie takes the injury he suffered yesterday to heart and doesn't keep putting his body needlessly on the line like that.

Do you not like players who sacrifice their body for an out?

I want to see Pedro Ciriaco do the Merton Hanks dance

Re: 7/12 - 7/22 Game Discussion Thread

Ugh, needed the Rox to capitalize there. Wish they'd sent Pedroia on the previous play, but no way he could've known the LF would bobble it.

Hawk Harrellson shuts up for once. And it is glorious.

He does that every time they lose in that manner. With some sportscasters, they say less because they're trying to let the moment breathe. With him it's because he's an annoying homer with no respect for other teams.

What a bargain Cody Ross is for Boston.

Didn't see this before, yes I like seeing players do that BUT within reason. Why go and do that to yourself and risk injury when it's already 4-0 Yankees with nobody out. It's not like if he made that catch and come away unscathed that the inning would be over.

I like Lawrie a lot but there needs to be better context to his diving and going after the ball the way he does. I'm not telling him to stop his enthusiastic play but rather try to play like that with smarts.

Re: 7/12 - 7/22 Game Discussion Thread

Not only is Hanley Ramirez stupid for deciding to hit a cooling fan, but he decided to not take the medicine he was given to avoid infection. What do you know he's now out for a few days due to a hand infection, good job bro
