Randy Johnson quote about the sparse crowd

[maddogkf]

He was asked about the size of the crowd in the battle of lefties. I love this kind of quote!


Wednesday was the first time in 15 years that two lefties with more than 230 career victories have faced each other, yet the Johnson-Glavine matchup drew 27,750 - the third-smallest crowd of the season.

Johnson bristled when the topic of attendance was mentioned.

"You think I'm worried about whether the fans are in the stands or not?" he said. "I've got a job to do."

He rolled his eyes and continued.

"I'm not looking up in the stands. I look up in the stands when I'm coming out of the bullpen to see if my family got here safe and after that, I'm walking into the game.

"I don't care if there's 50,000, 100,000 or 505 people. If they want to come out and watch, more power to them. It's a lot of money to come out to a ballgame and lately, it's probably better spent going to the movies than coming to watch the Diamondbacks."

Johnson paused and quickly added: "You got that on tape? . . . Print it. Run with it."if(ScriptsLoaded) stInit();

As of right now he is right. Going to the movies right now is better than going to watch this diamondbacks team play bad baseball.
