It is really easy to stay in touch with your team long distance now.

Still, if the Sox moved, I'd probably drop them.


I took the time to think about that in the late 80s. I figured if they left I'd be a Tiger fan. I'm sure a lot of Sox fans might switch to the Cardinals but I dislike the dirty birds almost as much as I dislike the Cubs.

If there is one baseball team likely to move outside of Chicago city limits, its most certainly the Cubs. The likely hood of them moving to the burbs for a new stadium is much more than the Sox moving to Vegas.


Once again Frank, this is not about a Cubs v Sox comparison, this is not even about the Sox really moving because if you think they dont draw here, what happens when they go to __________.

The topic was just that the rumor will exist and it is based on some truths.

Im not sure what is going to happen but its clear Williams has more power than ever. It will be interesting to see what kind of moves he makes.

Of course Jerry wont back down. The Sox will probably do what the Sox do. Have like 4 winning seasons out of 6. Two of them over 90, one of them with 90 losses, one in the playoffs.

OK Frank, none of it exists. Bridgeport has never had racial issues, The Sox aren't sucking millions from the state and Vegas has no intentions of a MLB team.

Hey, but Santa will be coming around soon.

The constant give and take between BigFan and Frank is a board highlight. The feud has become legendary. Of course,Frank being a Sox fan usually means he's wrong. :lol:

I don't remember that. Sounds like something he'd come up with. I'm sure now he's telling his cellmate Tiny that the Sox are going to co-inhabit the new Yankee Stadium with the Yankees and become the Bronx Sox.

If Ricketts, in his never ending attempt to grab State Tax Monies, "influenced" The Tribune and WGN to look into Reinsdouche's piracy, it will backfire.
Reinsdorf is the jerk that never leaves the party....his hand is always on the wallet of the taxpayer....When light is shone upon the deals Reinsdorf has made to rob the State, how can any State Legislator vote to hand money to Ricketts?

I'm guessing your theory is a good one. Now you know what Crane Kenney is for. I also agree that it will backfire. The "You help all the other teams, what about us?" argument might be a good one in flush times, but it ain't flying right now. Maybe they could just let the Cubs put slot machines in Wrigley.

The State of Illinois ought to void the lease and tell Reinsdouche and his wonderful investors...the welfare Queens...that they will have the first option to BUY U.S. CELLULAR FIELD.
The Taxpayers owe Reinsdouche NOTHING.
Buy the ballpark...take some risks, Reinsdouche.

How would you like to be the guy who owns Grandstand with the State of Illinois setting up a rent-free competitor who pays no taxes to run you right out of business?

That guy has got to be fuming. I have not seen the plans for the store they are building, but I am guessing it is a $3M + facility, which builds quite a store! But that kinda stuff doesn't matter to guys like Frank? or does it?

I wonder is the State of Illinois is going to pay for the inventory too???? State paid for everything in the Bacardi Club, every cup, plate, knife, etc.
