In what may signify historically soft demand, MLB has finally removed lagging All Star Weekend ticket strips from public sale. The strips, which include admission to the Home Run Derby, All Star Game and other events, went on sale March 1st, however after more than two months, Chase Field had still not sold out baseball's midsummer classic.
MLB is now abandoning traditional strips in favor of less expensive, unbundled event sales, beginning May 16th. Diamondhacks believes this concession may be unprecedented in modern All Star Game history, however that has yet to be confirmed.

Sixth Sense ?
Twenty seven games represents the first sixth of the season, and prompts some crazy extrapolations. Ryan Roberts is on pace for 36 home runs. Willie Bloomquist - 42 steals. Armando Galarraga - 18 wins.
None of these are likely to play out, but one stat is more astonishing than the rest. Today is May 2nd, and Arizona's All Star Game still hasnt sold out. Ticket strips went on sale March 1st, after MLB and Dback package holders had their dibs. Yet one can access the official ticket portal today and purchase actual game seats in most sections of Chase Field.
This probably sets a modern precedent, since the advent of the internet, although comparative sell out dates are not public record. But All Star events are national spectacles that historically draw customers from around the country. It's hard to imagine that a previous All Star date in the internet age would take more than a few days to fill up.
That said, I'd be surprised if it doesnt eventually sell out. The game is still two months away and prices for strips are less than they were in Anaheim and other recent host cities. Judging from the seat locations spit out by the computer, I estimate five to ten thousand vacancies, which may not sound bad until you consider:
1. MLB reserves large ticket blocks for their marquee game. I'm not sure how many, but I've heard 8-10,000. That could be high, but it's a significant number.
2. Dback season ticket holders own about 10,000 seats and logic suggests their number of ASG purchases is probably fairly close to that.
3. There's a copious supply of tickets available at broker and secondary sites. These tickets may have been obtained via the public sale and/or from season ticket holders,or maybe even from MLB.
What does all this mean? It means that, in two months, the number of tickets sold to end users in the public sale is nowhere near 40,000. It's probably closer to half that. Further, brokers ensure that even when the venue officially "sells out", many tickets will need to be resold in order for the stadium to look full on game day.
Why are sales so slow? This may be the least appealing All Star event ever, especially for out of towners. Phoenix is the hottest city in North America and July, our hottest month. Indeed, the July 12th game date is historically the hottest day of the year. High temps in the shade normally exceed 110 - and late afternoons in the sun, when many events are scheduled, typically register a punishing 130 or higher. This isnt supposed to be a bunkered survival exercise. People are paying good money to relax, party, drink and have summer fun - and while great effort and expense will be paid to chill VIP venues, it will be extremely challenging for the larger host city to craft a favorable impression.
The other aspect is, of course, political. Several Latin and Caribbean stars have hinted at boycotts, rendering the contest less attractive. Some fans might eschew Arizona on similar political grounds. There is also a prospect of public, and indeed organized, demonstrations, and the escalated version few like to talk about: confrontation and violence.
I hope it doesnt come to that, but this is a volatile, hate filled issue and a spotlight like All Star Weekend will almost assuredly attract activists and, unfortunately, some unstable attention seekers.
If you're a wealthy baseball fan, who makes a habit of going to every midsummer classic, and you ever considered skipping a year, my sixth sense says this might be the one.

Kendrick Lampoons Homeless
In an apparent effort to drum up lagging ASG enthusiasm, tone deaf Dbacks owner Earl "Ken" Kendrick managed to mock homeless people instead:
This still is captured from his club's latest 'lipdub' extravaganza, showing the wealthy magnate wielding a cardboard "Will Work For...." placard. The self made Kendrick is such a sharp card that, even in this highly choreographed advertisement, he forgot to hold his amusing sign high enough for grounded earthlings to actually read and potentially be offended.
If you look through the roll bars like an obsessed doofus, however, you may be able to make out the words "All Star", which suggests the intended message was:
Will Work 4 All Star Tix
One can't assume for a moment Kendrick was intending to ridicule homeless people. I imagine this was an awkward attempt at self-deprecation, and a rather ponderous stab at feigning solidarity with the middle class. To assure MLB's poorest market, struggling through a regional depression, that he feels our pain. That he understands these ASG strips, which have yet to sell out in almost two months online, are expensive.
Despite those reasonable business, and perhaps even personal, intentions, and the fact Kendrick is a charitable giver and grew up in West Virginia and all of that, this remains an inordinately wealthy businessman, who blew more than a million dollars on a baseball card, holding up a different kind of cardboard.
These creased, makeshift signs of desperation are all over Phoenix. Some are scammers and some are destitute people suffering serious ailments. Some of them routinely die outdoors during baseball season, within walking distance of where this allegedly amusing video was shot.

Fangtastic
After association football likened itself The Beautiful Game, maybe baseball's 2011 All Star embarrasment-in-the-making should adopt a less showy monicker.
The Invisible Game.
It seems shy and retiring MLB isnt showcasing it's midsummer ... well.... showcase ...this year. Derrick Hall all but confirmed his New York masters nixed his understated plan to plaster every inch of Chase Field and FSN broadcasts with this fang-tastic image.
So, what does MLB's timid advertising withdrawal signify at this juncture? It doesnt necessarily mean the game's moving. At the very least, though, it suggests MLB views national attitudes toward Arizona as problematic, and most likely fluid. Otherwise, they would've already left. Curtailing promotion is the early hedge of bigwigs who recognize costs to defiantly staying and costs with ceremoniously pulling out - and they're too afraid, or perhaps wise, to do either right now. They'd prefer developing circumstance make the decision for them.
And it probably will. For now, they are curators of The Invisible Game.

But even MLB cant stop desperate men from talking. Certainly not Hall's goons, who a mere day after season renewal hikes were mailed, glibly asserted that July's atmosphere will be "no different" than that surrounding Glendale's 2008 Super Bowl. Really?
Set aside for a moment this sheepishly promoted time bomb might not even take place in Arizona. If it does, the scope and utility of festivities will pale next to any Super Bowl run up. Fewer visitors spending far less money, cursing the hottest temperatures of any North American city (instead of reveling in our fantastic Super Bowl weather). Oh, and there could be racially charged political demonstrations heating up our capital's already bubbling asphalt streets. Love the economic boost there.
Hall lobbied tirelessly for this "privilege" of feting MLB's summerfest under the most inhospitable natural (and now, man made) circumstances imaginable. His once healthy PR reputation might be resuscitated, if only a few die from heat stroke or street violence, or if nobody sees it, on what amounts to a ponderously controlled three day TV commercial.So, what does MLB's timid advertising withdrawal signify at this juncture?

The Price of Loyalty
Not 24 hours after Anaheim's "day in the sun" went dark, reports are trickling in about 25% price hikes @ Chase Field, presumably tied to the ephemeral 2011 All Star Game. Dback brass have yet to confirm the regular season increases, but loyal season ticket holders are understandably livid.
Consecutive last place, non-competitive seasons. Most signs point to Kendrick further slashing payroll into 2011. Knowledgeable Keith Law surmises this ownership group wont contend "anytime soon". Employment and personal income are down in the Valley, and Derrick Hall's "fan friendliest" front office is raising prices? Again.
On azcentral.com, two presumable package holders report that their account reps informed them a pair of "Infield Reserve" uppers will increase $332 annually, when the invoice arrives later in August. For them, that's a 25% increase. An extortion tax, apparently, for the privilege of getting in line to buy ASG tickets - at MLB's All Star prices.
With seasonal attendance dwindling, this is how Derrick Hall rewards his most loyal fans? Stick with us, he implored, even while our product disintegrates. We're in this together, he cheerfully implied. Then, at the nadir of public confidence in franchise stewardship, he slams a $332 cover charge on his most price sensitive loyalists?
Stop and think who buys upper deck season tickets to watch the Diamondbacks. These arent corporations and law firms. I did meet an MD up there once, but for the most part they're teachers, tow truck drivers and customer service reps, who breathe baseball and suffer with the team. Many bring their own food to the game. These are the fans stuck with an ultimatum, courtesy of Derrick Hall and Ken Kendrick:

We've strung you along for years with the hype of a made-for-TV All Star Game, that is rapidly losing appeal, and which still may never materialize in Phoenix.
You've supported us through the bad times. We dont really care if you purchase expensive ASG tickets or not. That's a separate issue. Just be a good fan and go write us another check for three hundred bucks, or you can kiss your season tickets goodbye.
Sincerely,
The New Diamondbacks Family
P.S. - We're building a championship team, just for you. Dont miss out!

Half Empty
Lest anyone confuse a heartening 7 of 9 roll before the break with respectability, Ken Kendrick's Dream Team has publicly abandoned playoff aspirations in July - in favor of aiming for .500 and stockpiling pieces for next year.
After a gelatinous five year rebuild, what's left to say in regards to an organization crowing in April about challenging the Dodgers, but which only last week, flipflopped out of the NL West cellar with the competitively estranged Padres?
You can say Brandon Webb's hurt. That's fair. And Conor Jackson. One can also say injuries are part of the game, and limit the best laid plans of every organization to some degree.
You can say the Diamondbacks performed three games under pythag in the first half, hinting they've been a bit unlucky. One can also say they've played fifty of their first 89 at home - more than any MLB squad.
You can say Chad Tracy, Stephen Drew and Chrisses - Young and Snyder - shouldnt hit this poorly for an entire season. One can also say Dan Haren and Doug Davis have pitched over their established "heads" and Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds may be hard pressed to duplicate eye opening first halves.
In addition, Bob Melvin and AJ Hinch have overseen terrific, even inspired, individual performances. Dan Haren has emerged as the premier stopper in the National League. Journeyman Doug Davis has pitched better than several clubs' aces and Scherzer isnt too far behind. Felipe Lopez and Gerardo Parra have emerged as pleasant surprises to most observers, and Upton and Reynolds are Arizona's biggest impact position players in years.
In light of these successes, isnt it sobering to consider we're still ten games behind lightly regarded, flawed clubs like the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies? Just a week ago, the Dbacks were eighteen games below .500. How far would Andrew Hinch's confused charges have fallen had Dan Haren not channeled Bob Gibson, circa 1968, for three consecutive months? If 21 year old Justin Upton didnt morph into an All Star on Bob Melvin's watch? Or if Mark Reynolds, 2008's league leader in errors and strikeouts, hadnt similarly rebounded with a 43HR / 27SB clip?
Of no concern to the dwindling clot of SedonaRed sycophants, but questions for discerning fans, about usurpers disguised as architects, baldly aspiring to lose half their games.

In making sense of the 38-51 debacle, team apologists often fixate on where we'd stand if everyone was healthy and firing on all cylinders. That's results oriented fantasy.
Organizational advocates understandably emphasize Webb's injury, but play down the appalling lack of replacement depth at the back of the rotation. A number 6 like Brett Anderson (abandoned in the Haren deal), could've halved the impact of Webb's departure, exacerbated by a mess of cheap Josh Byrnes' charlatans sharing a collective ERA north of eight.In addition, Bob Melvin and AJ Hinch have overseen terrific, even inspired, individual performances.

Dbacks Toast All-Sear Game
Driving a Mini Cooper drunk, without a seatbelt. New Coke. Dating Brian Giles. Bad ideas, right? Well, add the 2011 MLB All Star Game to the list of "accidents" waiting to 
happen. They want to play it in Phoenix.
In July.
Who is this unpromising boondoggle for, anyway?
Hosting and roasting baseball's annual ode to the solstice in North America's hottest city only serves to indelibly singe the Valley as the uncoolest hotspot in the world. What can you reasonably do in Phoenix in July? Swim for eighteen minutes, until the SPF70 washes away? You cant golf or play tennis, and people dont hike or bike or jog, outside of a few fools and survivalists. Sneak a pee behind a bush and it turns to steam right out of your dick. Sonoran rocket vapor we call it. Peed or not, visiting MLB partiers wont venture outside between their normally conscious hours of 10AM and midnight. They're here to have fun, not survive.
Movers and shakers will instead be trapped in hotel rooms, shuttled to air conditioned restaurants and the civic center adjacent to The Lovely Morgan, muttering about the hellhole Selig dragged them to - as they inevitably cross melting Jefferson St to the stadium on foot. Hopefully Mrs. Trump's heels wont get stuck in the bubbly asphalt.
Apparently it's not a sufficient weather windfall for Phoenix ballfans to reap the dual benefit of hosting fourteen spring teams as well as the Arizona Fall League - by sole virtue of our contrary climatological calendar. Now, our fair and unseasonably hot denizens "deserve" the unique opportunity to showcase our most inhospitable weather imaginable.
Rockland, Maine hosts the globe's premier lobster festival each July, but you dont hear Mainiacs demanding to fete the world in February at some sub zero Chilly Willy Frozen Claw Fest. It's preposterous. Inhuman. These events are supposed to be fun. They're supposed to be goddam pleasant.
Of course, All Star Weekend has precious little to do with fans - by and large they dont want the game in our midsummer Hades. The players dont want it here. Even the host city, which stands to fill some off season hotel rooms, will be challenged to avoid a searing long term hit to its carefully cultivated "Valley of the Sun" brand.
So, why schedule this real life accident waiting to happen? Because real life doesnt matter to the people who stand to benefit - the people who operate baseball. It's perception that sustains year-to-year revenue and that will be manipulated easily enough by MLB's corporate broadcast partners, contracted to make even Phoenix in July look cool. The host city will be described as hospitable, regardless of Mother Nature's longstanding objection. If it takes ESPN all weekend, they'll nail an aerial shot of a light rail tram gliding by Chase Field - and a few hardy riders actually using it that time of year.
Chris Berman will hyperventilate over a tedious, one dimensional BP contest that I can vouch is surprisingly dull in person, and the marquee exhibition itself will be strategically interrupted midgame by some award contrivance, because TV ratings dwindle once this propped up "All-Faux" game actually starts.
Baseball goes to great lengths to fabricate its own reality, whether denying rampant, criminal drug use for decades or shielding accurate financials from regulators. The CEO of this culture of deception is Bud Selig, and a favored protege happens to be Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall. Hall has been begging Uncle Al for this All Star tryout for years. Not only will ASG rights sweeten Arizona's embarrassingly slow moving season ticket packages, but a well manipulated show of this stature - against the odds of low expectations - would be the crown jewel of Hall's formidable public relations career, possibly cementing him as Selig's replacement.
The All Star Game in Phoenix exposes baseball's contempt for paying fans and the city's welfare is a secondary consideration, at best. This is mostly the patronage of an old boss passing the torch. A quid pro quo between MLB and a finally subordinate franchise that dutifully agreed to stop driving up player salaries. Do that, said Selig, and we'll eventually toss you an All Star Game, come hell or high water.
As the monsoon approaches, MLB's "guests" may be treated to both.
