We’re sitting in the 13th row behind the Brewers dugout. After Martinez’s double, a Brewers fan was screaming at their dugout that Molina missed 2nd. Now he’s screaming at the dugout that they spotted the Cardinals 2 runs by not listening to him. 😂😂😂

Got tickets from a friend I occasionally send work to. I know it’s early, but so much for the idea the City is energized by the recent play. Place is easily half empty

I envy you not having to listen to Brad Thompson.

With the exception of anyone who works for the Cincinnati Reds, Brad Thompson is the worst broadcaster I've ever heard.

I’m not convinced 3 runs is going to be enough to win this game.

Friday night, 8th inning of a 3-0 game against the team the Cardinals are chasing for the wild card and several thousand people just went home.

Your Best Fans in Baseball, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m not certain, but I think the big titted bimbo who sits behind home plate at Brewers game is sitting a few rows in front of me.

Front row Amy?

I'll bet that's not going to get annoying as the night goes along.

He’s actually been pretty quiet since.

And it’s filled in some, but this place is still 30-40% empty

Dan announced the attendance at ~41,000, but I think that might be the number of testicles.

Completely different ballplayer

Top of the 9th and more of them are leaving. I’m guessing no one cares that if we get 3 more puts the Cardinals are only a half-game out of the wild card.

What is the deal with attendance always being 40,000.  Do that many people not go to games they bought tickets for?

Yes. I know a few attorneys at our firm who bought season tickets for client entertainment. They’re constantly trying to unload tickets with mixed results.

Then you have the scalpers, who buy season tickets for purposes of selling them on Stubhub or some other website with plans on turning a profit. A lot of those go unused.

The tickets I got last night were from another lawyer friend. He couldn’t use them, not could he find anyone who wanted to use them until I said I’d take them. I suspect if I had said no, they’d have gone unused.

My buddy Greg is in a group where he buys 10 games worth. Last year he only went to 3 of the 10 games he bought because the team was so boring.

Yeah, that’s a different situation. People who buy season tickets or ticket packages look at it as, the money is already spent, so whether I go or not doesn’t change that. If I go, I probably spend another $100 bucks on parking, concessions, etc. Is the weather comfortable or uncomfortable? Has something better come up?  Would I rather just stay home?  These aren’t people who bought tickets last week and then changed their mind, it’s people who bought tickets 6 months ago and found something better to do, and will go to the ballpark some other evening.
