this year they could offer all seats for a dollar and they still wouldn't sell out.

The Orioles are offering a pass to attend all games in September in general admission for a one time fee of $30.

It was quite sad to see the Pirates celebrate that win in the 8th jumping up and all around and there was absolutely nobody in the stadium and no noise what so ever. Even Greg Brown Who normally gets really excited after a win like that just had no emotion behind his call because he knows the game meant nothing and nobody was there to see it.  These are the kind of things that if Bob Nutting had any kind pride or integrity about wanting to win he should be completely and totally embarrassed about.


Well I was one of the chosen few. There for both the loss on Tuesday and the fun win yesterday. $15 (which included Stubhub fees) got the wife and I seats in Section 114 row H.



Meaningless baseball by two last place teams unfortunately. But great weather and a great comeback win in America's most beautiful ballpark. I wish I had more opportunities than just two nights a year.

Or field a winning team. They know that puts people in the seats.



Yet, despite increasing revenues, they field a team with a payroll over $20 million less than their last playoff team.



If the owner won't invest in the team, why should the fans?
