This just in from the terrible pun department:

Shields didn't have his best stuff today, and the umpire did no favors.
Umpires hate us.
Roy Halladay is good.
Jason hammel is not a 9th inning pitcher.
Chadford is the kind of pitcher who can't afford an error.
Jay Pee Howell should have 0 ER, but barajas just hit a good pitch.

13K is a fucking disgrace, and i'm sure the players

Sadly, I actually agree

Tonight was an embarrassment. If only more people like sternfan would…you know…show up

I would love to go but....

not getting into it here

in fact i can go free, i know a guy who works videi scoreboard

Exactly

And tonight there were 22,750 people with excuses similar to yours. But you are part of a select group of ‘fans’ that doesn’t show up, yet wants to have it both ways.

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

a bit more involved my friend

but not for the internet

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Again, exactly

It’s much easier to make excuses for yourself while blaming other people for the teams problems.

If you’re not THERE, you have no room to bitch…PERIOD!!!

And I don't care if you have a medical condition

Money problem etc. That sucks for you if you do, but it still gives you no right to run your trap about the actions of others.

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Well I think it depends how many games Sternfan goes to a season

Noone can make every single game. A good fan needs to go to quite a few. If you are single you should be going to 20. Married w/ no kids 10-15. Married with kids 5-10. In the hospital 1-5. Those are minimums.

And also there should not be a money excuse

If you lose if BFE then I guess you have a gas excuse. Parking is free. If you are going with 1 friend then apply yourself and you can easily find free parking. Scalp a freakign ticket if need be. You may get lucky and have someone hand one to you. If not the absolute most you will spend is 10 bucks. Although again if you apply yourself you can get it for cheaper.

Nobody tells you that you have to buy food/drinks at the game either.

You can eat out prior to the game. Drink out prior to the game. Sneak in drinks (portoshots anyone?). Bring in food to the game.

Seriously you can go to a game realistically for $15 bucks and that is with either buying something at the concession or being an idiot and paying to park.

CHL?

by Sylar on Aug 26, 2008 10:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Charlotte.

Where they support their pro teams like the Horne…Bobc…NASCAR and UNC/Duke.

I am so glad we went 4-2 against the other division leaders last week so we could afford to lose against one of the best SP in the league.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 26, 2008 10:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Sunday's loss hurts all the more

What are the SP match ups tomorrow and THU?

If he won't attend games with free tix (yet bitches about attendance nonetheless)

what do you expect?

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Be careful there gomes

Gomes, ha ha, that’s laughable

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Because you are a joke?

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

taking a username to honor a stiff is laughable

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Of course

Because that is completely relevant to your excuses for not attending Rays baseball games yet feigning indignation at those around you.

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Changing the subject

Sign of a losing argument. And yes, I’m a Jonny Gomes fan. And I’ve attended approximately 100 games in which Jonny Gomes has played in. What are you?

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

funny i see you here at every game

are you boycotting since Johnny went down?

Has he gone above the ‘mendoza’ at AAA?

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Check the GDT champ

And look for me during home games. You won’t find me until after the game is over

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 26, 2008 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

And I'm a fan of Jonny the person

And how he interacts with fans…you know…the kind of thing you get to appreciate when you attend a game instead of bitching about how others do not.

You see him after games.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 26, 2008 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

You see him after all games.

Not just the ones the Rays lose.

If we can score 4 a game we win both

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

lol, of course hammel isn’t a 9th inning pitcher. he’s who we put in when we’re going to lose.

by dropkicknu on Aug 26, 2008 10:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

which makes you wonder why did we protect him all year?

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

right now i'd rather have reyes

by dropkicknu on Aug 26, 2008 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

yep, so would i

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I miss Reyes :(

And Glover and Fossum and Boggs and Nomo and Conseco

by Sylar on Aug 26, 2008 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

i cant see hammel pitching

he is more less the rays verision of boof bonser, a pitcher who they think is going to be something but actually is worthless and i would mind them dfa him and call up price who if he disappoints it worth the shot instead of just putting in shit brick out of no where some times

Longo=ROY. Friedman=Executive of the year. Maddon=Manager of the year. Gabe Gross= clutch.
