I don't care, but I need to get Obama's name into the post, lol. Because where we used to have government protection here, it was derregulated, and companies seek profits first, so they are sending oil overseas where they can sell it for more. This has nothing to do with anything but increasing profit margins at corporations. The "decision" is made by each private company, because that is what the government allowed them to do. Obama had threatened to veto the bill, but it was override proof, so he didn't. For example in the house, 26 Dems joined all of the GOP in voting for this bill. I guess in this day and age that passes for 'bipartisan'.

This is not why the Sox are suffering right now at the gate.

This is still jarring to read in print.

This is what I can't get past. Look, at any other time in Sox history, the Sox being on back to back playoff appearances would mean HUGE increases at the gate. If you knock out the 1st half of the 21 season with COVID attendance restrictions, we have to flat to down on attendance this year. Even more than the W/L are they seeing the complete apathy of the fan base at the gate? They should be drawing 30k a night, instead we are at the levels of a decade ago. We aren't even on pace for 2 million fans this season.

And the sacrifice bunt with McGuire which reduced our mathematic odds of both scoring and winning.

This is exactly why it was illegal to export domestic oil until very recently a GOP House and Senate changed that.

Security was down there quick to shut him down too.

I am old enough to remember when the Sox hit home runs.

I want to hear more about how Tony will have these guys ready every day.

You forgot to compare to him a piece of female anatomy.

But I was told he was dead?

It's what they deserve.

On the bright side the Hawks have really made it easy to not care. I the only game I spent any amount of time paying attention to was the Pat Foley final game.

I will also say this again. If we are giving up high end guys, no rentals. If you can get a guy for 2-4 years, sure. But rentals are a terrible fit for a terrible team unless the Ghost of Julio Cruz is coming through that door.

I imagine with the draft coming next week, no other international players will make the states until next spring.

In 2022, they would have been a wild card team.

There could also be a prospects deal which gets them guys that other teams want to get the OF they want, or something else.
