It used to be on youtube, but it's gone now sadly. That was pretty much the only good part of that 2007 team was that video. Also the year of MacDougal Aardsma Sisco...all the hard throwing big guys.

Unfortunately they couldn't find the plate, got behind in the count and then got ripped by hitters.

But I think the odds are much better on my side of the discussion. No salary cap yesterday, not today and not tomorrow or ever.

I could believe a salary cap is possible if the owners gave the players an honest and legitimate guarantee of a much larger revenue share. I can’t believe the owners will do that. I believe that if they try to enforce a salary cap without a major concession on the players side the players will walk away without a season. I don’t believe the owners or the players would do that. Too much money at stake, and would require nearly all the owners to stay on board. People who are lobbying for stadiums or gambling licenses - the last thing they would want is to further undermine public relations.

Sorry. I'm not saying the floor or cap will happen, the MLB union is far too strong. I'm saying there will be a prolonged strike/lockout.

OK, sorry I misunderstood, I agree with you, the owners will once again try to catch the unicorn and once again they'll fail.

You've got 12 large market/revenue producing teams vs. 18 mid and small markets. Why would those twelve teams have any interest in increased revenue sharing, tax penalties, redistributing local broadcasting revenues, etc.???

Well the alternative has big money owners (not necessarily "big market" teams) sign the biggest stars in the game to mega million long term contracts while a few peons in the stands wear paper bags over their heads and yell "sell Jerry sell" hoping against hope that a billionaire businessman somewhere somehow would want to throw away good money after bad in a rigged game. Not going to happen so might as well come out to some games and support the young players out there. They deserve it and will appreciate it.
January 28, 20251 yr “Jerry shouldn’t throw good money against a bad rigged game” ”might as well come out to some games” and put money in the pocket of the owner who won’t spend 😂😂😂 all time favorite tray boot lick right here. And in consecutive sentences, right after he calls his fellow fans peons this guy is the man of the Sox people

Except not even Ricketts will do that...we'll see with Tucker soon enough. Your paragraph isn't at all motivating to most Sox fans...it's like the average mom and pop investor competing with the billionaire class, except we at least get scrap back at 10% rather than enriching a billionaire.

While there are flaws, every one of them except maybe Cohen is taking home tens of millions of dollars per year, and Cohen is the exception because he’s trying for an even more lucrative gambling license in NYC which could easily evaporate if there’s a loss of games.
