why would you say that? - Reagen Feb 19, 09:13 14
- It was partly a joke, though I thought attendance has been way, way down since their glory years? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 19, 09:14 13
  - they're still fairly profitable (albeit in a strange sort of way). the team might officially be on the bubble, profit-wise, but the cable company - mafic Feb 19, 09:18 2
    - Kind of like the way YES works for Steinbrenner. - Subversive Feb 19, 09:18 1
      - The dollar's no excuse anymore. Their performance is injury, managing and general managering related. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 19, 09:24
  - Down from when they were leading the league in attendance? Yes. Near the bottom of the league in attendance? Not even close. -- nm - Subversive Feb 19, 09:15 4

    - Yeah, you're right. I thought they were lower, but last year they still averaged nearly 30k (18th out of 30). -- (link) - Don Homer Feb 19, 09:16 1
      - (relatedly, I'd love to see *actual* and not paid attendance figures. Love to see how low KC and Florida were.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 19, 09:18
  - true, but they were also setting attendance records at the time. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 09:15
  - Pretty much. But Halladay is the man. -- nm - Shaun Feb 19, 09:14 3
    - You mean 2011 White Sox opening day starter Roy Halliday? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 19, 09:18 2
      - I don't see the Yankees changing their team name to White Sox anytime soon, much less by 2011. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 19, 09:24 1
        
        I don't think Halliday would like to play in New York. Just a hunch, but I see him taking slightly less to play in another market. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 19, 09:39
They should totally move it to Montreal! -- nm - Guigue Feb 19, 09:11
