    There's a certain unspoken culpability on the part of sports blogs for this BS... if it wasn't for all the posts highlighting/over publicizing how ridiculous and fun Preakness was, no one would have cared about the BYOB policy. Its a classic example of 5% of the people ruining it for everyone else...


    /RIP old school Preakness good times

    @ChilledoutEntertainer: Even after they changed the rule, the press couldn't help but harp on the past. Before and after every commercial break they had to mention "the rule" and how many fewer people were in the infield because of it. Well, at least on the local coverage.

    I'm willing to bet that Marylanders would rather lose the Orioles and Nationals before the Preakness... however why go to the racetrack if there's no free beer

    @RoethlisBurger: Nah, we want the Orioles to be sold, not to move. Nobody cares about the Nationals, I'll give you that, but it's not the O's people hate, it's Angelos. Preakness is only a big deal because it's a once a year event. If it leaves, people will be angry for a little bit, but will quickly get over it.

    I don't know about the infield but if you're looking for a drunk outfield, Felix Pie plays across town.

    @ClintonPortishead: He's starting to come around. Personally, I think Montanez is better than he has been playing, but it's not like Pie is competing with Markakis or Jones for a position in left field.

    @Michael Dukakis the angry Mets fan.: They don't give separate stats, but overall attendance was 70,000 this year, which is over 30,000 less than previous years. That makes it very possible that there were more people there than at an average Marlins' game.

    What excuse will we have to pretend we care about horse racing in Maryland if the Preakness moves?

    How can we let drunken fans ruin the athletic spectacle of watching midgets riding horses who are running a race they're not aware of?

    Judging by that interview, Bennie Woolley Jr.'s first rule of 21-hour Kentucky Derby drives is you do not talk about 21-hour Kentucky Derby drives.
