That's right Don...the new owners include the fans...as long as they are willing to pay the long dollar!!! I can't afford to go to any games...don't know how anybody could on a regular basis. For $53.45 a month, I get to watch all the games I want...Pats, Bruins, Celtics also...I arrive 1 minute before the game begins...no lines at the terlets...beer is cheap (not cheap beer...beer cheap)...get home 1 minute after the game ends..can leave if it's a blowout!!!

You don't have the bonehead yelling in your ear (Unless you are married).
Another reason is, I can sit in a comfortable chair instead of squeezing my butt in those wooden shoe boxes and having my shins crushed up against the seat in front.

On the (way!) other hand, I had a family dinner thing I had attend last night and so I had to listen to the first couple innings on the radio on the way home. AM radio! I hadn't done that in a long time and I'd forgotten how good baseball can be over the radio when done by a good play-by-play announcer.

Hopefully we do not have to listen to them in the World Series.

i remember i could get bleacher seats in the mid 90's for like 17 bucks. them came pedro, then manny, since then weve seen some moderate increases,lol.
i agree you cant beat taking in a game, would have loved to have been there last night.
my 42" hd plasma is sufficient though

I had a date with Tim McCarver's daughter Kelly back in 1988.
She was sweet lady and a red head ...in her early 20's.
I wonder if there is a picture of her out there somewhere on the net

I'll drink (heavily) to that.
I thought I was the only one that can't stand that pinhead.
Mr. Obvious is what I call him.

OK, kiddos, less than 12 hours till the first pitch!!! Are we getting excited yet??? 
How about your predictions??? The Rockies are a very good ball club...got a lot of guys with some pop in their bats...very good middle relievers...I don't think their starting pitchers match up well with the Saawx...of course their closer is no Papelbon!!
My prediction...we'll see Papelbon do his ridiculous step dancing with a big cigar in his mouth shortly after the end of the 5th game in Colorado!!!
Saawx...Saawx...Saawx!!!

My prediction.
Games 1 & 2: Sox
Games 3 & 4: Rockies
Game 5: Sox
Game 6: Sox (at Fenway...)
I'm hoping Paplebon will do the silly drunken champagne/cigar dance in his jockstrap on home turf.....ask Cleveland's Garko, chamgagne tastes better at home.
