Orioles announce "We Win You Win 2"

In an effort to snap their 14-game Sunday losing streak, the Orioles have announced a sequel to the popular "We Win, You Win" promotion from July 6. The "We Win, You Win 2" promotion will raise the stakes, as all fans in attendance at the 1:35 p.m. game on Sunday, July 20 against the Detroit Tigers will receive two complimentary tickets in the same seating category to any future non-prime game, if the Orioles win.

Anyone?

Any statisticians out there who can put up odds on this one? 2 tix is a good deal….

it's a great deal, except Brian Burres is starting

by math_geek on Jul 16, 2008 5:03 PM EDT up 0 recs

Burres has started 17 games

O’s record in these games: 9-8
Burres has 7 wins to 5 losses. Seven. That counts for something.

is this sarcasm?

Looks to me....

like it’s a 50/50 proposition, based on the O’s record in games he starts.

yeah, but that's like saying we are almost certainly going to lose in games where Guthrie starts

I refuse to believe that Guthrie makes the team worse because the players don’t feel like hitting when he is pitching.

But if it cuts one way, it cuts the other. I don’t think Burres inspires the team to play better, I think he’s just been lucky.

This isn’t to say that he can’t win, he obviously can. Guthrie still gives us a better chance to win however.

I think he's been lucky, too

I don’t believe the team is better when BriBri pitches, it just means for now, during this season, the odds are 50/50 the team will based on past outcomes. Not actual ability, you know.

past outcomes are no indicator of future results

now I sound like a stockbroker

Or...

Or a lawyer.

That's why I phrased it

the way I did. :)

It’s funny for me to think that this sunday bullshit has lasted only 2/3 as long as the 0-21 streak.

If I lived in Baltimore

I would definitely take advantage of this deal.

I'll wait for We Win, You Win 7

Shit, this is changing my plans

All week I was planning on going to the SUnday game because of this exact reason: Free tickets if we win! Even if we don’t win, it should be a fun time at the stadium. Crowd is always pretty fun when they got something riding on the outcome…

But I looked all over the Orioles site and couldn’t find a single god-damned thing. I thought maybe the promotion was only for that one random assed game.

So I got off work, and got tickets ready for MONDAY….too late now. No POTENTIAL free tickets for me…

I hope we fucking lose on Sunday, I really do. this is horseshit.

I'm already going Saturday

for the Orioles Magic DVD. Perhaps I’ll make a weekend of it.

After the Sunday loss will it be "We win, You Win 4"?

1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256… If they can keep this up, after 8 more Sunday losses you’ll get an entire season and a half of tickets.

maybe...

they’ll have to start giving up premium tix. talk about killing two birds…you’d fill up sundays and anyone willing enough to see the o’s on a sunday this year would be die hard enough to do them birds proud when the yanqs or red sox come to town.
