  1. I certainly got my money's worth from my free MLB package. Thank you T Mobile.
  2. I was thinking that also. I wonder if he would retire or consider another position around the league if his agent can't work out a deal.
  3. But you're here and you're watching. Would you spend your time and money at a movie you know is bad or a TV show that pisses you off?
  4. I think I missed the mark with brand loyalty. There is probably a better analogy. I think you kind of hit a point I missed, but *we* aren't finding it easy to ignore them. Yes, a lot of the fan base is ignoring them but they still managed to not be dead last in attendance. Perhaps it's the same fans that fill the corners of NASCAR stadiums.
  5. But looking at the weather forecast they will probably have to play the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings.
  6. Buddy, you won't be working when they are good again. We might not be alive when they are average again.
  7. Yet here we are after they did the opposite. We would go find another restaurant, bar, car brand, whatever yet we allow sports teams to abuse the fans and we keep coming back.
  8. There are a few current companies that I'm pretty loyal to. Titleist, Patagonia, USAA, and DeWalt come to mind. If any of them performed like the Sox, I'd ditch them in a heartbeat. I've "tried on" four MLB baseball teams the past couple seasons and it just isn't authentic. So what do sports teams do to create such customer loyalty that other businesses can't?
  9. We still don't know how bad it has to be before we stop being fans.
  10. That's nice he loves baseball. I love baseball. I bet almost everyone here loves baseball. I wish he loved Sox fans.
  11. Which brings us back to decades of poor drafting, free agent signing, and trading. Perhaps development. Garbage in garbage out.
  12. Grandma probably had the means and opportunity to travel back in the 60s
  13. If they are at my school there is a good chance it's two college educated, professional, parents.
  14. If he didn't open the floodgates of hatred and misinformation I'd have stayed.
  15. Agreed but be careful, you're starting to sound like a boomer. "It was Twitter back in '06 when I first started tweeting and dang gummit, it will stay Twitter. Now get off my lawn" 😀
  16. Interesting advice that one of my students received from her grandma. "Don't marry anyone from your hometown or you will be stuck their forever. Go see the world and find someone."
  17. I get that. I was just pointing out the fans in KC where saying the same thing 56 years ago when the team left for Oakland. That team seems to move every fifty years of so lol
  18. I'm kind of surprised that folks over thirty like it. And Twitter doesn't exist anymore.
