Angels fire Brad Ausmus...

 

MLB had its worst attendance in 16 years.

Strange too... live ball, HR's galore, low attendance, go figure. (hint = reduce the price to take someone to a bloody game)

 

Prices are up, I used to be able to go for $10, most seats doubled in price.

 

Took my nephew to see the Tigers at Comerica. $20 for parking, $10 a piece for pizza, not including drink, $25 bucks a ticket... dropped a $100 before I even found my seats. Ridiculous.

 

hope he comes to Philly. hell i would take Sciosia or Giraldi in 2 seconds too. .

 

ouch - what did a hot dog cost? $20 to park is the norm sadly Will. For football it's $40 and up. $25 a tic is nice. hope you had a nice time minus the costs.

 

Yelich being hurt helped him as his average was frozen. Marte's went up and down as he played until the last week. Yelich may lose the MVP bc of his injury. Amazing his turnaround since he left Florida.

 

$20 to park? Pfft. Bargain. You’ll pay at least double that at Fenway.

 

The way Yelich plays in September, he probably would’ve run away with it if he hadn’t gotten hurt.

 

Subway it to the games, I live nearby but usually don't get back to the city until the 3rd. Anyways, I'm not too enthusiastic about going often to watch a 67 win team. On the other hand, when they win it's hard to get good seats at a reasonable price.

 

bc there's no parking at fenway. it's all parking lots to buildings and factories around it.

 

There are public garages and lots, too. But they charge a premium for game parking. $40 if you’re lucky. If it’s up to me I always take public transportation to Sox games.

 

Nats win after huge error opens floodgates to 3 runs in the 8th. Win 4-3.

this is after Acuna thought he had a HR and then it was a long single and he didn't run out of the box. his teammates were pissed. this is the second time this has happened to him this year. now he watches a HR. he doesn't get it.

 

Machado 2.0

 

wow i never thought of that. great point and analogy u dog. he is. he doesn't get it. he's young but when 2 teammates including freeman talk to you about this - u better listen.

 

Kapler gone in Philly... say good bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY. No idea why it took 2 weeks to do it unless they were trying to find another manager behind the scenes. the problem is the GM is a fool too and he signed an extension. BOTH need to go. I want them to call Dave Drabrowski for the GM job.

 

Dave Roberts blew that game last night. Why bring in Kershaw? He's not a reliever. His playoff records isn't very good. Bad move again and all those wins were for nothing. Out! MLB needs The Cardinals and Yankees in the WS for good ratings. Washington brings nothing to the tv market table. Nor does Tampa if they beat Houston and NY.

How about being a Braves fan and spend all that money to see game 5 and give up 10 runs in the first inning? Ouch.
