Title: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: StL FinFan on June 09, 2008, 08:03:58 pm Congrats Junior! It is scary to think of what he might have done had he been healthy his whole career.

The team is competitive and that is nonsense that a team comes into town with a guy riding #600 and they can't even get a half full stadium out of it ? They need to contract that team, pronto. Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: Fau Teixeira on June 09, 2008, 09:44:14 pm there's no basis for contracting the team

They play in a huge fucking football stadium. That thing will never be full. Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: Denver_Bronco on June 10, 2008, 10:11:12 am They play in a huge fucking football stadium. That thing will never be full. Yeah, and if they had a stadium that fit 5,000 people they still couldn't sell out. Its a joke.Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: MaineDolFan on June 10, 2008, 10:44:43 am Mike has a very valid point here. Florida has a exciting young team with one of the (if not THE) best player in baseball.
Florida ranks dead last in attendance - and by a lot. They average 14,846 per game. There are AAA teams that draw more than that. 34-29 and, yet, the league's worst attendance. Seattle is the worst team in the league at 23-41. They are already almost 20 games under .500 and 15.5 games out of first. They outdraw Florida by 13,000 fans a night and average 28,241. That's kind of sad. Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: Fau Teixeira on June 10, 2008, 11:47:24 am sad yes .. and still not a reason for contraction
Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: SportsChick on June 10, 2008, 12:09:51 pm Brian and I went to the game Saturday night. Giveaway was cowbells. They drew over 25,000 fans
Title: Re: Griffey Hits #600 Post by: MaineDolFan on June 10, 2008, 12:13:55 pm sad yes .. and still not a reason for contraction I didn't agree completely with him, I said he has a point to be heard. The Marlins will self contract at some point if there isn't any improvement. The Expos had better numbers than this and couldn't make it. We'll see what happens with the 'new' stadium. |
