But don't forget - hockey needs solid ticket sales because they can't get a decent US television contract. If they were to get a few good TV deals lined up, gates would be a little less important. That was my point

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread Johnny Damon signs with the Indians.
Considering they're hitting .170 over the first week, it probably can't hurt.

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread Jeez! I knew the Twins were in trouble at the start of the season with pitching, but this is just awful! Scott Baker out for the season and Liriano lasted about an inning.

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread I'm heading down either Saturday or Sunday... depends if i go out Friday night.
I believe the game is at 4pm Saturday. They use to always do 4pm games on saturdays but not for the past couple seasons... perhaps they are going back to that.

I might have an extra ticket for sale for the Saturday game. Primo outfield seats. Second row above the Jays bullpen. If you're interested in buying it from my buddy, let me know. His gf may not be able to make it to the game with us, so we might have an extra ticket to unload. Let me know

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread I like Bobby Valentine just because he set up the situation where Mike Piazza had to hold a press conference to tell people he's not gay.

WAIT..MIKE PIAZZA ISN'T GAY? That's what he said in the press conference. Sportscenter showed the Pert Plus commercial directly after it.

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread Who tries to steal home when there are two outs, and Jose Bautista at the plate? I mean, really! Sucks that the Jays lost both games I've been to so far this year, but I'm so glad I saw that in person

Re: 2012 Baseball Thread Attention Major League Baseball:
If you continue to try to throw inside on Choo (plunked three times already after essentially missing the second half due to a broken thumb last year), he will proceed to burn you with game-winning hits. In addition, Jack Hannahan will try to kill you.
Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
