southsider has presented a very nice argument that the Sox may be less profitable in the AL East based on Sox fans being fair weather and only supporting a winner. Seems like a pretty solid theory and something Sox ownership should consider.

There is a gamble in sports ownership. Each owner has more or less of a tolerance towards the risk. JR doesn't like long term pitcher contracts, other guys will stick their necks out an extra year. I set Mark Cuban a letter asking him to please buy the White Sox.

When I get some time I want to look into this a little more, I just know Bush is winning the war on terror.

Even a HoFer strikes out now and again . . .

Average of 233 million bought at $19 million. I score this round to 4E with a couple assists

Man, I hate to debunk the 200 mil but using the inlfation calculator at Link here

Would you care to adjust that 200 mil for inflation?

Not gonna go there . . .

There has to be something misleading about that stat? How many have been convicted on state charges or something else like plotting, Rico laws, etc.?

You are correct, the best way to make a small fortune in baseball is to start with a large fortune. But for every Mark Cuban there is a Jerry. Why buy a MLB franchise? To make money, break even, or as a hobby that will cost you some $$? Perhaps out a sense of history and keeping a team in it's traditional city. Perhaps to join an elite club? If it is out of some history or wanting to be a part of MLB, then moving the team to the A.L. East would seem perfectly natural. Short of the dig at 4E, that's a HoF post

Isn't it great having an owner that puts the business interests of Major League Baseball over the selfish interests of his own team?

"shouldn't they take new photos of those guys?"

I heard another interview with the guy. He claims it must be that Dem supporters have no morals, etc. Doesn't find it odd it's happened several times to him. :headshake

I know. Although that was a pretty swift transformation. What ever happened to the Botox allegations? That kind of got blown off the radar when the Swift Boat story broke. He wouldn't be the first candidate to alter his regular grooming to look younger. Althought one of my favorite quotes is Reagan's

I don't see it happening. If I see any changes it would be some sort of alternating Division A and B based on finish or a small market vs. big market, adjusted for cities which have two teams, or a small payroll vs. large payroll. Or finally putting in a hard salary cap.

what color do you want him to be? The guy spends a couple hours outside in the sun, gets tan, and Drudge has a story.

Bush wants to give every American one as a thank you and to stimulate the economy Nice job remaking the bills. I still think Reagan needs to be on one. When will we add a general circulation $200?

Too bad real life doesn't work that way Traffic just moved around her :-(

Actually he should really do it Monday.

There was a TV show about a similar occurance only it was international. Pretty cool. Of course around here we'd eitehr complain it was posted in the wrong forum, accuse the person of spamming, or make fun.

It was a small upgrade from southsider2k3. He changes is screen name annually to mark his eternal optimism of the Sox winning the central division of the AL of MLB.
