I realized I misunderstood as I read it over again. But my flies drawing comment was just too good to delete

The Sox don't draw for 2 excellent reasons.. They don't win and people are still boycotting their owner. Sox fans have brains.. well.. most of them anyway. And they refuse to blindly pay money to see s*** on the field. Even the season ticket holders they do have still at every chance voice irritation with Jerry. And the misconseption that any money paid to watch a game there goes directly into his pocket. If the did anything at all to show the fans there was a commitment to winning.. (signing Maggs.. getting a pitcher for more than a season.. etc, etc.. ) fans would show up. Until then there isn't a damn thing that will be done about the attendance. The fans won't do what they percieve as throwing their money away..

I can't draw flies either.. I always mess up on the wings.. But I think we sell Frank short on his getting into the hall. I think in general most give him credit for his accomplishments. Right now the contract crap overshadows that. Once he's no longer playing I think he'll get the "love"..

Sorry Jugg.. I wasn't talking about Sosa. I was referring to Frank not being in the equasion.

Sure he is. But that's not the popular opinion on this board. And heaven for bid you disagree

Hmmm.. someone doesn't learn lessons very well. :banghead

Why on earth are you watching the Cubs game...

He sold the rights to it to Sony for a "loan" in '02 I thought.... A bank actually "ownes" it I believe.

Yea.. no kidding. The crap is gettin' deep around here.

He doesn't pay attention. He's an idiot.

Looks like I've jumped ahead in the weekly Soxtalk league.

IMO.. no way to letting her take your son out of state. You're his father. He needs you. No amount of "visitation" can make up for it.

People pay $50 to $75 a seat at Fenway and Yankee stadiums... and if scalping sometimes TRIPLE that. WIN and people will come. La, la, la, la.... attendance talk. :headshake

Why not take this crap to a Cubs bord.. they're the ones so enamored with attendance..

Whoops.. my bad.

Yea.. good ideas. However we've been "told" that they aren't going to spend $$ unless the fans come out. So, Brando.. you have a good time out at the park supporting your team this week...?

Rex.. it's not about the money. The money is moot. It's about two players taking their s*** to the media.. and only one getting grief for it. I aggre with you on everything else.

I didn't see it but a few folks watching in the lunchroom said they "flashed" it.

Baker got tossed.. and the bleacher fans went apesheeet... :headshake

Bingo!! Really.. who the hell is worth $20 million a year..? Not baseball players. Not above medical personal, teachers, etc...

Third time's a charm..

Which thread do you want us to answer Jugg.. ?

Speaking of Reed... He's up to .355. 3 for 4 last night, 3 singles.
