crashcarson15 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 If you can't sell out Opening :censored:ing Night, you.I'm not saying you have to sell out a mid-June game hosting the goddamn Astros, but if hosting the defending champions on Opening Night can't sell out the brand new $500M taxpayer extorted stadium, then it wasn't the old :censored:ing stadium, it's a :censored:ty fanbase.The Marlins weren't selling any additional tickets. You couldn't buy tickets from the team if you didn't win tickets in the Opening Night lottery. There were upwards of at least 50,000 people (can't remember the exact number) who entered the lottery to get two tickets.I believe that the empty seats were single seats or the über expensive seats that can only be purchased as part of a season ticket plan. But remember, a game can be a sell-out if full capacity has not been reached granted the remaining seats are single seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Simply stated, baseball is the greatest sport ever. Opening Day is the best sports day of the year. Night 162 last season was the greatest regular season day ever, in any sport. Anyone who disagrees should poke themselves in the eye with a #2 pencil. Yeah, I guess I'm happy baseball is back. hmmm... it just so happens I still have a #2 pencil on my desk...My favourite type of pencil from when i was in school. Love those things.I always liked oriole pencils, really good erasersDixon Ticonderoga for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'd prefer a bic mechanical if I had to stab myself. I think the finer tip would penetrate further into the brain, assuring death, or at least some undignified soiling of myself while convulsing.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 1st inning Grand Slam for Carlos Pena off of CC Sabathia... Not a bad way to restart his Rays career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Eh, didn't take long for Girardi to make a dumbassed decision.And didn't take long for Sabathia to show why he sucks in April, and sucks against the Rays.That might very well be the high point of Pena's season. I honestly don't expect him to do all that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have the handwriting of a brain-damaged eight-year-old.

Kramerica Industries Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Well, the Rays are going to open 2012 the same way they finished 2011, with a walk-off win against the Yankees.UPDATE - The fact that Carlos Pena did it, however, is going to leave me physically ill. God, the hype his initial return to Tampa is going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
