Nor snowbirds. I'm going to suffer, they're going to suffer! But that would cost the teams quite a bit of money too, I'd think, as even the cold weather teams sell more tickets (and I'm not meaning opening day) on a Wednesday than their spring training stadiums seat. Frankly, I'd rather my team have those bucks! I’m not a big fan of step number two. Nor snowbirds. I’m going to suffer, they’re going to suffer!

I dont think anyone will treat it as a regular season game from up north and it will still feel like a spring training game. baseball in detroit in early april is a tradition, and i hope it never changes. the rest of that makes perfect sense though, as there are often a bunch of games in certain months (cough cough, yesterdays game, and semilikely todays game) that have very high forgetability guotients. I know that every game counts and some teams are virtually eliminated by the end of april, but who remembers a tuesday 105 game thats like 1-0 and there were 6 people there to watch it. they all seem to be this way in april and a little more in may, though the may games seem more homey because its usually warm enough to be comfortable and then more people go because it feels like summer in detroit more than it does in april. chao!
