[QUOTE]Originally posted by Arch: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by blackfifty: [qb] it actually does cost you a lot. Us the fans pay an absurd amount for food and drink so baseball owners can distribute that to put a winning team on the field. However just recently tv deals are the primary source of income for pro teams. Back to the topic I'm so damn tired of being a fan of the Oakland A's who always find a wake to choke when the games matter. Six times in a row they lose in a do or die game. The A's can't compete with some of these pay rolls in baseball. When they develop talent other teams buy it ( Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada, soon to be Cespedes) It's frustrating and Lou Weolf is a real douche for not coming to grips with the fact that San Jose is out of the picture. He's holding the team hostage and this money ball crap doesn't work in baseball. We need stars like Posey, Cain, Verlander, Trout not Eric Sogard or Steven Vogt [/qb][/QUOTE]It's actually all supply and demand. I just read your first line. That's it. Giants have a good product that people want to see. At a venue people want to be at. So it costs more. Athletics have a garbage stadium, and be it a talented young team. Not exactly a stacked roster. Only 20,000 turn up per game as it is. So they can't demand much. (Or they would) If the As owners were even a little higher into the bottom third of spenders, they could take on a team like the Tigers. Say whatever you want about the Giants. They get it done. They give us a great place to watch the games. We have the best announcers. Players that are fun to watch. And hope year in, year out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
