IL2H- no offense taken!
Boston fans spent DECADES being the 'poor relation' to the Spank-me's. We also felt like the MLB 'farm system'- look at some of the names we groomed over the years. In addition, our scouting system still leaves a lot to be desired- Carlos Pena is from our last hometown (he played LL ball with our son!)- but the Sox seemed blind to his existence!
I've said it before, and will keep saying it, the Bay area really should be able to support a quality team without resorting to rock concerts, etc. after a game! I KNOW the economy's bad, but things are tough all over!
bottom line is $. cash talks and BS walks. whoever pays the most will (almost) allways have the best players. shouldn't the "best" player deserve to be payed more than someone not quite as good? what incentive would there be for the best to hustle and risk injury in an already short lived career, if he made the same amount as a so-so player? not sayin it's right, just the way it is. without sports most of these jocks would probly be behind bars, bouncing at strip clubs or parking cars imo.
Never could stand that mf'er. 6 games, several million, a now empty #4 batting slot, and done with baseball due to another failed drug test
karma is a BITCH, Manny. Hope you get your nappy dreadlocks caught in an elevator
