February 22, 200521 yr Ownership 75? C'mon. 692640[/snapback] Our ownership has a reputation, deserved or not, for being cheap.
February 22, 200521 yr Only dropped one spot from last year not too shabby Well, a number of NHL teams that were ahead of us no longer are. But yes, very very nice to be getting some respect out around SportsNation.
February 23, 200521 yr Author Ownership 75? C'mon. 692640[/snapback] I think it has something to with how much you're worth
February 23, 200521 yr Loria's done alot for us, how can ownership only by 75?!? 693177[/snapback] He isn't seen very highly by the ESPN elite.
February 23, 200521 yr Being snubbed by the media is nothing new. Guess we'll have to shock them all....again
February 23, 200521 yr Red Sox are 45th, ownership is 23rd, it that says anything 693272[/snapback] Marlins are higher than the Red Sox...interesting.
February 23, 200521 yr Red Sox are 45th, ownership is 23rd, it that says anything 693272[/snapback] It says this rankings are sh*t.
February 24, 200521 yr Author Red Sox are 45th, ownership is 23rd, it that says anything 693272[/snapback] It says this rankings are sh*t. 693308[/snapback] Why? Again the rankings of ownership is based on wallet size($$$) Henry has some more zeroes behind his name than Loria. Does that make him a better owner than Loria? HELL NO!!
February 24, 200521 yr awsome. overall, the fish are highly ranked among sports. its good to see were moving on up and getting recognized.it may have little to do with the 03 championship, but nevertheless, its good rankings. our ownership has always been thought of as cheap, like it or not. it may always stay.
