December 7, 200520 yr We went from 70th last year to 13th this year among all sports and 26th to 5th in MLB. I know it doesn't mean much, but I'll take it!! ESPN Fan Satisfaction Rankings
December 7, 200520 yr It's a little easier to fill out the questions related to team competitiveness positively when they win 99 games and the World Series title. I would think that a jump in those rating occurred.
December 7, 200520 yr I notice they didn't include NHL teams this year. Good thing for the Blackhawks. It's the only thing keeping them from finishing last again.
December 7, 200520 yr Just a perspective from an area where you'll hear alot of Cardinal info, I think Sox ownership and front office currently stacks up better than this survey shows. Where the Sox stepped up and added a year to Konerko's contract when it became evident they had to in order to keep him, St Louis did not on Burnette and let him get away to Toronto. Players coming to st Louis are expected to sign for less because its 'such a good environment'. Cardinals are raking in money but not as willing to spend it.. Way to go Kenny and Jerry

Way to go Kenny and Jerry With Burnette's history of injuries, I wouldn't have added the extra year either. Toronto will regret that deal, not the money per year but the length of the deal.

Your make a good point there on Burnette, my main plug for the Sox is that they are flexible enough to address a particular contract issue when necessary, St Louis would not budge on a contract once it gets above their preset parameters even if there wasnt a history of injuries.
December 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(TimoandAaron @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) how do the Giants have a better stadium then the Jets? The Giants have a better stadium experience than the Jets. It makes sense. For example, if there were only one baseball stadium in town and it was called "White Sox Park", do you think you'd have more fun there as a White Sox fan, or as a Cubs fan?
December 8, 200520 yr hey guys, look where the yankees and red sox are on this list. that just makes me laugh. suck it spankees!
December 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) We jumped a lot due to the part that they did not rank NHL teams this year. They didn't last year either.
