nrockway Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 another potentially nice play by Ramos but probably should've held onto it. I guess you don't really expect a guy to score from second on a groundball to third, wild baserunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spring might as well try and make the play imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil Luna is quite bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 No one has mentioned other than a new neighborhood, how this investment winds up a smart financial undertaking. You lose out on a lot of taxes as they go to pay down JR's park and hotel and other things, and when does that actually become a money maker? The current park cost 1/10th of what this one will and they still owe $50 million. So if they do the exact same thing, the Sox will need to move from the 78 to be able to compete with the Royals before these debts are close to paid off. It's a nice location, probably the best available in the city. It looks like it could be a nice park. But JR either wants or needs too much for it to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a thread for these discussions, Dick. Why are you derailing discussions of this excellent preseason ballgame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well an embarrassing start to what may very well be another embarrassing season. But hey, let's all give JR another billion! What say you? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that we would be treated to a better brand of baseball and only lose games 2-0 instead of 6-0. Well, color me surprised! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
