Baseball season is approaching

Baseball is a big disappointment. They charge $6 for hot dogs, and $3.50 for a coke. We can get a hot dog and large soft drink for $1.60 at Costco. The best hitters of baseball have been charged with muscle enhancers. It's no longer a game of sports, but a business with multi-million dollar contracts that ends up costing the fans a day's salary to go see "baseball" for a few hours entertainment.

red sox over the astros, in 7.
but i'll be fearing for my life up heeyuh when the celebrating starts!

Region... remember, you heard it from me first.

'Wait 'till next year.'

Ci, if you think it's expensive, check out ticket prices for Red Sox games. I just got a pair of some of the worst seats at the park, $44 each.
Got another pair of mediocre seats for $70 each.
That doesn't include the many beers.

frig. you're right, sealpoet.
what was i thinkin'??

<<something about the sox finally having a nice balance of hitting + pitching...>>

Slap, They'll continue to charge what the market will bear. The problem with baseball is that it's not the amount paid the players that produces the best teams. I think that's also true of football and many other spectator sports.

And Fenway is a relatively small ballpark, with some of the most dedicated and diehard baseball fans in the country...there's a higher demand than supply for tickets here. So they can get all the money.

i may have to switch my NL pick to the cubbies, who finally finalized the maddux signing...

boston over chicago, 4 games to 3.

This is the first time I can EVER remember the Cubs being the fav. from the national league, or even the central division! I'm very excited.
