CWSOX45 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Steinbrenner will probably offer Colon a s***load of money now. Schilling, Pedro....that's disgusting. This means Bartolo is most likely a Yankee. CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Man it almost seems to good to to be true for the Red Sox. I have a feeling that the Yankee's will still win the division. I'm not saying it's a curse but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 The Red Sox also draw twice as many fans with WAY higher ticket prices than the Sox have. (attendance=payroll) NO COMPARISON. Good point, sir. I suspect a lot of our fans have no idea what the ticket prices are at Fenway. When you want their payroll, WS fans, pay the prices the BS fans pay and pack the park like they do. Until $ is put where the mouth is, it is all so much flatulence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I have never been to Fenway, but apperently beer there is like 10$, and you can go inside and outside the park when ever you want, and there is like a farmers market with all kinds of food every game. So I hear conncessions really hurt the park, and that is a reason tickets are so high. Obviously I know that fans will show up to Fenway whatever the price is, so I know food isnt the only reason the tickets are so high, but I hear food is a factor. The ticket prices are so high for two reasons. #1 they have the smallest ballpark in all of baseball, and #2 because Bostonians pay that much to see baseball. I might be off, but I believe the cheapest ticket at Fenway is very close in price to the most expensive ticket at Comiskey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 How much are the Moster Seats?? I thought those were really expensive, like $250, something outrageous like that. I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Everything is off the charts as far as expense goes in Boston. It isn't just baseball folks so the comparison is going to be skewed. The current costs of $40 for Club Level, $29 for Lower Deck Box, $24 for Lower Deck Reserved, $22 for Bleachers, $20 for Upper Deck Box, and $14 for Upper Deck Reserved to attend a White Sox game are entirely too expensive for the s*** product that the White Sox are going to field this year..... and that's if the prices stay the same for '04. Don't count on it either from what I've heard. And as expensive as it is to attend a Red Sox game, you can still get a seat for cheaper than the cheapest at USCF.

JoshPR Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Wow, now if Boston can sign Foulke, Boston will have a better team than the Yankees, no matter what free agents they sign. Im very impressed with Epstine. f*** Stienbrener, he's burning in his own hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Good move by the Red Sox. They actually have a real good starting rotation now. Pedro and Schilling - both are gettting old, but still have a lot in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastime Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Theo Epstein is my age - but he's a lot smarter than I could ever hope to be. The guy has some moxy, and some real knowledge of the game. I applaud his move yesterday, and I applaud his effort. If I could succeed at my job just half as well as he does - I will be a rich man very soon. It must be nice to have a GM who actually knows baseball, and knows the right moves to make. It must be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, lets see JR real Books not the one's mlb says and cry's fowl, if everything was so bad he would have sold long ago, fans should not except Jr's or any owners word on finances, JR has paid NO RENT for use of the cell until this year, for a few years now, that is alot of money he got to keep and not spent on players. The reason he does not sell is things are not even CLOSE to as bad as he acts like they are, he did not become a multi-millionaire by making stupid decisions on losing propositions. :fyou JR for treating Chicago as a small market city.

By that logic the Red Sox payroll should be near $150 million because not only is their attendance about double what the Sox draw, but also their average ticket price is the highest in all of MLB. As long as people aren't in the ballpark, there will be no huge payroll, and there is no point in being irrational about it. We had a 15% increase in attendance and that is pretty much the payroll bump we are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Does anyone have the amount of Shillings contract extension? Just curious in reference to how much we offered Colon. 2 yrs 22.5 mill I Think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 2 yrs 22.5 mill I Think. Wow. We might be able to get Bart at $10 mil then, if the market is giving one of the best pitchers around 11.25 mil a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 2 yrs 22.5 mill I Think. Did Reinsey have his head up his ass for that one? I'd gladly dish out that kinda cash to get a guy like Schilling to pitch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the problem. Shill said he would only go to the Yankees, Red Sox or Philly. He is a big time guy in the players union and would never do any favor to someone he blames for the 1994 strike.
