the price of beer is down .75 cents
People will drink the same amount of beer as the did before. You’d have to drink 10 beers to get one ‘free’ one with this ‘price cut’. I doubt we see an increase in consumption, honestly.

Yeah, 'cause 75 cents was really keeping drunk people from buying another round.

It isn't going to discourage them from buying less though

Oh STFU,
communist. You think beer being $9 at JerryWorld prevents people from being drunk? Stupid argument from a stupid noob. You joined today, did you join just to piss on everyone’s cupcakes? If you don’t like it, sit in section 335. Then you can’t buy beer and neither can all the other people around you.

Communist?
I’ve been called many things, but never a communist. I don’t know how my protesting of a price drop in the sale of beer makes me a communist.

Cause only communists are the only idiots dumb enough to protest a DROP in beer prices.

Oh excuse me, you joined in may...
whatever. My point still stands. Commie.

I'm sure he's considering it now that the price has dropped

Oh wow.
I guess I had my sarcasm turned down to low.

So this explains your attitude, I suppose.
Do us all a favor: try to reserve your batshit stupid opinions for subjects which you know at least a tiny bit about, mmmkay? Great.

I do know about the subject
My family is full of closet alcoholics. One of them died directly as a result of being over the limit and doing something stupid. A drunk driver killed both my great-grandparents when I was young, another nearly took the life of my dad.
At the ballpark, I have had one drunk spill his beer all over my autographed program with Babe Laufenberg and Pudge Rodriguez’s signature. Another ruined my authentic jersey.
I think I know a little about the subject.
by Perfect Zero on Aug 13, 2010 3:12 PM CDT up reply actions
adding Babe Laufenberg's autograph
would generally nullify the value of any other autograph on the program

Maybe, but it still had Pudge's autograph.
by Perfect Zero on Aug 13, 2010 3:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe you should have used a permanent marker.
Like everyone else, in the history of getting autographs.
I did
but the page is faded beyond belief.

So now all people who enjoy a beer must feel the wrath of Perfect Zero
FOR HIS BABE LAUFENBERG AUTOGRAPH WAS RUINED.
Relax dude. It’s only the internet.

I used to go to spring training in Ft. Lauderdale every year
as a kid and try to get Cal Ripken Jr.’s autograph. Then, when I finally got it, it was on a ball that was also signed by Brady Anderson.
God dammit.

God forbid you lose a Babe Laufenberg signature.
You know nothing about the subject being discussed at bar. You have an exceptionally biased and irrational view of anything involving alcohol because of your family history. You know absolutely nothing of 100% of the people at the Ballpark or their situations, most of whom are simply having a couple of beers during a game because it is an integral part of watching a baseball game for many people.
Beer is not evil, despite your best attempts to use emotional tales of woe to try and convince us otherwise. It’s a shame about your family, it really is. That doesn’t apply to everyone. Whatever is your problem most certainly does not apply to me.
If I see a Babe Laufenberg autograph, though, I’m going to pour an entire beer on it. That’s how I’ll spend the savings.

I'm not for prohibition
I really don’t care that much about beer prices dropping. But to say I don’t have a stake in the say is something else.
by Perfect Zero on Aug 13, 2010 3:18 PM CDT up reply actions
You have no -
And I mean absolutely zero – stake in any judgment you have about the price of beer dropping by $.75.
To suggest that you have a stake, or a better or more qualified opinion is so, incredibly, unbelieveably shitty and annoying that my mind is almost completely blown by your stupidity.
Your tenth beer?
The free one right?
Don’t waste beer!

Whooooo
Chucky is my hero. That’s awesome about the 20% discount on Ranger caps if you turn in another teams hat.

Bad idea to try to bring in (painful) anecdotes
And use them as evidence. Evidence here gets examined.

You tried to play your comments off like you were joking.
I don’t think it’s appropriate at all to joke about alcoholic family members. I guess you do?
im ok with that part
just dont joke about Babe Laughenberg autographs. He is full of suck
Oh say does that flag banner wave / Over a-a-all that's free / And the home of the land / And the land of the - FREE!

Agreed.
I am fully committed to pouring a full beer on any and all Babe Laufenberg autographs. It’s for the children, really.
Babe Laufenberg is no joking matter.

no im not joking
babe laughenberg sucks

price drop on hats and shirts/jerseys?
Does this mean they rebrand with new logos and uniforms? Jerseys/logo seem to have become a tad old. The drop of Rangers for home jerseys seem to be a cheap Hicks move.

This was also in the email I received:
Cap Exchange Program: Fans can also receive a 20% discount ($35 to $28) off the regular price of an authentic Rangers blue or red cap by bringing an authentic cap in any condition of any other major league team to the Majestic Grand Slam Gift Shop or any other ballpark retail location that carries authentic Rangers caps.
I love it. Get the folks weaned off of the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, etc.

A side effect of this
The vendors will be pretty happy.
You buy two beers it used to be $15.50 and most would get a 50c tip. Now two beers will be $14 and the likelihood of getting a $1.00 tip is pretty good.
Doesn’t sound like a lot but it adds up pretty quick. More money means happier employees and better employees.
The best part of this is parking being dropped back to $10
