Article:Boras is a 5 letter word for.........

It has finally come down I am afraid again to the word dealing with money and that word is greed...Nobody in todays' economy is worth 25 million a year for three years. Nobody, not Manny not Ted not Sandy not even Babe. People today are still trying to make ends meet and Boras says a two year deal for 25 Million isn't enough. Manny is a complete fool to stick to the ends justify the means here. He brings in this much so he is worth this much. I am sorry that is a lot of crap. Maybe the people who aren't hurting will still come but the ones on incomes that are less than before can't afford to go to the games, no matter where they are here in Los Angeles, Anaheim or Tampa or Arizona. If the money isn't there anymore than where is it going to come from. It is a very sad day in my life that I can't afford to go to a Major League Baseball game anymore because the expenses have gotten out of line with my income. What Manny did last season was truly unbelieveable and puts him in the league with Rodgers Hornsby among others as right hand hitters and delivering in press time and when it counts the most the playoffs, but the true bottom line is now and has been for awhile,  MONEY and what it does to the players and the owners alike. TV & Radio ads, parking, food, merchandise and players signatures are out of line with the fans money incomes. Rich people, who are hurting, maybe not has much as the average fan but are hurting anyway will not spend money at the rates they spent it last year. Mr. Boras really needs to look at the big picture and come back to reality and bring the demands for a contract in todays' market and economy to something that the common fan can relate to and go along with. Nobody, especially me, doesn't think that Manny isn't worth 25 million a year but the bigger question is should you go after that with everyone facing the sinking economical situation right now. I have said in the past nobody would be worth that kind of money even the Babe and Ted Williams and I still stand by that remark. I truly loved watching Manny play last year at a league I hadn't seen since the early 1930's. He is a special hitter but that only goes so far and if the fans can't attend the games then who is going to play the 25 million for his salary..
