No more baseball

It was probably only a matter of time, but now the Red Sox games will only be available on cable in Boston. Last season, the local UPN station carried Friday night games, so there was one game a week people like me, without cable, could watch. But apparently the Sox are desperate for money, perhaps their food stamps this month are late, so they decided it was worth alienating even more of their fans.

This is on top of raising ticket prices every single year, to the point where they're not only the most expensive in baseball, but to take a family of three to sit in a cramped seat (especially if you're 6'3", but it is cramped for everyone), would cost about a minimum of $200.

When I lived in Denver, the Rockies offered $1 standing room only tickets. Of course, no one wanted to see the Rockies, but still...

This is just one more reason to leave Boston and resent the endless greed of the Sox ownership. I'm starting to hope they do finish third or fourth in the division this year.
