Boston Red Sox: Greedy, Greedy, Greedy

But he needs to look in the mirror and think about what and how much he gets paid to do—play a kids game.

It’s no secret that I’m a Yankee fan and that my hatred for the Sox runs deep. But if you’re a fan who regularly attends games of any nature, you should agree with this viewpoint.

Players don’t really know how difficult it is to go to a game, especially for a popular team, such as the Red Sox or Yankees.

When you go to a game there’s a lot of preparation involved: what time to leave to beat traffic, what route to take, how much money to bring, where to park, should you tailgate or not, who you are meeting up with, when and where you are meeting this person, how much to drink at the game, what to do after the game, how much to spend, etc., etc.

I think that this is a huge black eye for the game of baseball (another one) and for the Red Sox.

Baseball held back promised funds, so exactly how will the players and coaches trust them again?

The Red Sox received bad PR, delayed a television broadcast, made the other team (the Blue Jays) wait, get stiff, mess up their rotation. And they made the fans wait and probably spend more money that were already at the game.

I know it’s a meaningless spring training game, but you have to think about the fans. They’re the reason the game exists.

When the players did come out onto the field most of the fans booed the players. And this was a home game for the Red Sox.

For the first time in my life, I have to say that I love Red Sox fans.
