SB is awesome to be at. It's a nonstop party. I've been lucky on the games i went to as they were good

Yeah it's the game I'm talking about. No doubt the parties are sick. I just feel you play the game a certain way all season, everything is consistent. Then you get to the Super Bowl, and the TV timeouts are longer, the 2 minute warning is longer, in between quarters is longer, the halftime is longer, they go to video review and they squeeze in an extra ad or two. I just hate that part.

Whore the game out all they want, I don't care, just don't fuck with the skin and bones of the actual game
 
Don't know what I"m going to do when Rays leave. Don't know whether to root for wherever they go and are called next ala Expos/Nats or to just bandwagon a new team.

I agree. It's more of an event than a game

Throw in a power outage and the results can be real costly. Look at how badly that fucked the Ravens

So happy the KC vs TO game is actually on a Friday night and not another afternoon game. I can actually get drunk and throw beer cans at little kids.

When you're shit for a long time, its actually easier to attract your fans. Because people will stick around thinking that the thrill of victory will feel so much better after all of the year of agony and defeat.

But if you won a championship a few years prior, a lot of fans will be like, I got my fill, I'm cool with losing for a while now, I'll check back when the team is good again.

Exactly what happened with Toronto after the early 90's.

The Jays lost fans because they dismantled the team, the baseball strike, the Leafs got good for a few years and the Jays were sold to Interbrew who didn't care about them...I got rid of my shared season tickets at this time...I have been to games where it snowed and the team was barely competitive...but there was always a solid and knowledgeable fan base...the fan base now is very different...

Average tickets for the NLCS are insane. $840 for the Mets, $1,200 for the Cubs.

Me and my buddy pulled the trigger on Sox game 6 WS tickets during game 1 when Wainright got shelled, paid $1500 for the pair. Wasn't sure it would make it there but we lucked out. By the time Game 6 came around our tickets were going for 2 or 3 times what we paid.

It's a lot of money to pay for a baseball game but that was the first time the Sox had clinched at Fenway since 1918.

Even if I was such a die hard that I paid $750 each for tickets... faced with the ability to then sell them for $1,500 to $2,250 I'd have gladly done so and watched at a local sports bar like a king.

Sadly none of these LA Mets fans survived their trip home. RIP
 
Collins is a good story his last job as a manger in the majors was for the Cangels back in 99, he went to Japan to manage in 08-09. I remember when the Mets hired him he was thought to be a placeholder until the young players developed I don't think anyone thought Collins would lead them to the playoffs this season.
