or.... I could buy something pretty cool for $1500.... a used golf cart to ride around the neighorhood in, a new bike, a set of wheels for my car....
$1500 will get you a nice HDTV or a day at the ball game. Gee, difficult choice.

with $1500 you could have the time of your life at a strip club! Difficult choice indeed.

I am surprised the great satan, I mean the yankees, did not pay him that.

The Yankees, more than any other team out there have created a market where greed wnis. And the fans loose. Hows that 5.00 hot dog? You know its still anus, right? I take much pleasure when they fail in the post season. Karma.

The BoSox are not far behind.

you can't just blame the Team, Yanks or anyone else. Without the fans' willingness to fork out the dough, they can't charge what they're charging.

But you cannot negotiate what you pay for the ticket or the concession or the parking. So you have to do what I do--stop going.

Igf things keep going the way they are, I think free televised games may be the next victim.

Hey, it's typical now...you can't blame the players...blame the GAME. Seriously...if I or you were one of these talented folks, we would demand the same...

You do know it was Texas that gave A-Rod the 300 million dollar contract the last time right?

Yes, but you have to admit that the yanks have been pushing the bar much, much more than Texas.
