Carjackings and overpriced light beer?

$14.99 for a 25oz domestic this year.

It was $13.75 last year.

It was $10.95 in 2021.

That's +37% in 2 years.

BLS calculator here shows that this should be $12.07 if it tracked CPI in that same period.

How about a story on the worst franchise in baseball absolutely gouging fans at the concessions Wapo?

The beer prices are fcked, but did you just move here…they won a chip in 2019 and it was INSANE!!! Still can’t believe that team did it 🤙🏽

That's a bit condescending but whatever.

I was indeed here when they were the best team in baseball. One of the games I watched them go 19-27 vs Cubs on their way to the 19-31 low point. Great season.

They clearly (as is being demonstrated right now) are one of the worst, if not the worst team in the Majors. If the product on the field isn't doing it, then the product(s) supporting that have to make up some of the difference. This isn't it.

So say team and not franchise…our players coming up look goood, this isn’t football. I agree on the pricing, but even if they won 3 in a row, beers would still be this expensive.

It’s all part of the pall park experience. If you’re winning, you can get away with overcharging. A shitty team where it’s too expensive to get a second beer, why show up?

Can’t beat a few day games in the spring and cheap tickets, I also genuinely like the sport
