  1. That's going to really help bring in FA's.
  2. The hardest weeks of the season are the first few (get off to a good start) and the last few (playoff push). When it counted, this team failed miserably. Even if they squeaked into the playoffs, they would have fizzled out. Just not a mentally tough team.
  3. Any new stadium should take zero public dollars. Citizens should not subsidize billionaires more than they already do. I think the days of subsidized ballparks have come and gone.
  4. Michelle, you never know which rest stop you'll find Rich Gale at. Best of luck.
  5. Think it's the offseason after 2013. This team shouldn't bitch about the luxury tax. It can afford the extra costs.
  6. Jung, you really hit the nail on the head. The Monster Seats are a marketing gimmick. I was up there for standing room tickets once. It was awesome for BP, poor for watching a game though. They weren't built for extra revenue, they were built to market Fenway. The new seats they put behind home are really cool though. They've done some great things, but there isn't much meat left on the bone for further expansion. Everything about going to Fenway has changed since the new ownership came on. It's not about baseball anymore, it's about the event of going to Fenway (Sweet Caroline and all the other BS).
  7. RSFFL, you'll have a great visit. Just don't buy RF seats (sections 5, 6, 7).
  8. RSFFL, google fenway obstructed view seats. When you live on the other side of the country, I understand why someone wouldn't care. When it's your neighborhood baseball park, it's more of an issue. I love Fenway as much as anyone else. I still remember my first game in 85. I used to walk to the stadium and pick up gameday tickets on a whim. It won't happen tomorrow, but local fans will be better off when a new stadium with more seats and better views is constructed.
  9. I'm a 34" waist. RF seats that face CF are stupid. Sitting there is an automatic neck ache. Seats where the pitcher's mound, 2nd base, or other parts of the field are blocked out of view due to structural design is just plain stupid. Girth isn't an issue. The stadium is just outdated.
  10. He has good posts. I think he just saves the intelligent dialogue for people he can have a normal conversation with.
  11. Yeah, Remy just loves the guy!
  12. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/394163-hey-mike-lowell-there-is-no-i-in-t-e-a-m http://m.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/rob-bradford/2010/05/18/lowells-frustration-continues-mount I think you polyannas are forgetting about Lowell's 2010 me first drama. I'd find more articles, as this was a huge story at the time, but don't think they'd change your mind.
  13. Oh, it won't. I won't be shedding a tear when it finally happens though. For such a small stadium, there are way too many horrible seats.
  14. Recently, I've felt that they really need to move on and build something new. Fenway should remain open as a museum and for exhibitions though. I love Fenway, but seeing a game there is brutal.
  15. Haven't heard much chatter since he got DR residency. Anyone think he'll get the $30M he's looking for?
  16. Wait, FrancoMa didn't really leave 3 letters in a drawer for the new coach. Some people just need to bitch about. Tis the season.
  17. The only thing BV gains by going to the media is satisfying the bloodlust of angry fans and giving the media an easy story.
  18. It's hard to separate the two.
  19. Art Martone link? Gross.
  20. Another unclever nickname. Fantastic! CC was one of the only players to call out other players in September. He did it in house and didn't cry to the media like BV.
