I'm a chicagoan and a sox fan,call their bluff and let them leave.They should be self supporting,this is preseason none of this counts.All they do for a month is thin the herd for the real season.A lot of the people who attend these games are vacationing chicagoans and local seniors.Enough is enough seniors are on social security and times are hard in this country,Why are these clowns trying to make all their money back so quick?I thought repubs were fiscally conservative,whats his angle?

21 below 40$ a ticket.39.95 is below 40$.I just went on line and checked 2009 ticket prices for the cubs.Out of 17 ticket choices for one game 2 are below 40$ each.By the way if any of you morons ever went to a whitesox or cub game,goodluck finding parking for less than 15$.Point is prices to professional sporting events are getting out of hand.one beer is eight dollars,hot dogs five dollars.The first time I went to a kane county couger game I ordered a dos equis beer.The vender thought I meant two beers(dos)and gave me two.I explained I only wanted one ,but how much for both?5$ for the both of them try getting that at a major league game.

Put it this way,I live closer to the schaumburg flyers baseball team(minor league) than the cubs or whitesox.Although the cubs and sox attract millions of paid customers each year their least expensive tickets are about 40$ each.For that price a man can take his wife and two kids to a flyer or a little farther away a kane county cougar game.Plus for the price of another cub/sox ticket feed his whole family and have drinks.Times are tough.can you afford to take a family to a major league game at 200-400$ a shot?

Yerfatma,I think you misunderstand me,I'm not being racist I'M just stating a fact.Look at our college pool,there are a lot of very good white players.99.9 per cent of these kids are not going to the nba,but they can still play good ball,I can see a market for a league of all whites,just like the wnba,under 6 foot leagues,european b-ball,etc.Seems to me a team of all white american kids could beat the best greek league team,or the best italian league team.Seems to me you are making a race issue.They might not be NBA caliper but I believe they could be better than any foreign team.

Jerry west,paxson,havlicek,sloan,goodrich,cousey,riordon,barry,the van arsdales.These were awesome white american players from the past.You cannot tell me white american players cannot compete with white foreigners.Yet most of the non blacks are foreigners,sounds like reverse racism to me.The nba should watch their back,75 percent of the paying crowds are well off whites.When they realize dreams of their kids playing in the nba will never happen.The crowds will shrink.

If this young man couldn't leave at least a $1.20 tip the blackhawks aren't paying this boy enough.

Lee Corso: Tebow Will Be Starting by Week 6
If tebow is the starter by week 6,he will be out for the season by week 8.For this guy to jump past two other talented qbs,they will have to have been knocked out for the season.If they were knocked out that means they have a terrible offensive line,and what makes you think tebow can outrun blitzing linebackers and stunting tackles?I like lee corso but that is one of the stupidist predictions I ever heard.
