[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2059388, member: 748116"] When the Rams were playing in Anaheim that stadium was UGLY. A bad environment for both football and baseball with the way that stadium was butchered to accommodate football. Almost anything would have been an improvement from that place. And the lady knew it. I know because I was living there at the time. St. Louis was hungry for the NFL because they had tried to get an expansion team from the NFL to be called the Stallions. But the ownership group that tried was so bad at their proposal that the league owners gave the expansion franchise to Jacksonville. St. Louis was now desperate because they had this Dome and nobody to play there. So, it was a marriage of convenience between the Anaheim Rams and St. Louis. NFL franchises are not for the good of Cities or fans. They are an excuse to generate truckloads of profits for owners, period. In all major sports. This applies to the Sox Owner. He treats the franchise as his toy and will do whatever he needs to in order to benefit himself alone. As for the Sox team on the field... they simply cannot generate runs. The only runs they’re getting are from long balls. They cannot put hits together to make enough runs to win games. Several guys in that lineup are under .200 and still sinking. And playing that way is NOT the way to generate interest in getting funding for a new ball palace. [/QUOTE]
