  • [quote]Originally posted by Fran441: If the players go on strike, many fans will be back. You won't have as many people watching day to day, I don't think, but Fenway Park (being an incredibly small ballpark) will still be sold out every game and…

  • I tend to vote Republican. Problem is, I'm a conservative and the Republican party in this state isn't very conservative. But the Democratic party doen't give a rip about me so I often end up voting Republican by default. I did vote a couple of t…

    in AT&T Loses 12.7 Billion in ONE QUARTER! Comment by spaceman_spiff July 2002
  • Not to minimize anything but that loss was due to a write down in the value of their cable business. They are effectively saying that they overpaid by $13 billion for all the cable assets they acquired in recent years. This clears their books for t…
