even more to my point, many teams don't have to worry about it.
It's because we are lax about it. No owner in real life would allow a GM to take his team to almost MINUS 100M dollars. Just wouldn't happen.
Especially with no results.....George would have been fired a long time ago IRL lol.
to be fair. In real life, a team that has been 1 win away from the WS a couple of times the past 4 years would be able to charge more than $28 a ticket.
Bro preach! That's what mine is at this year and that's the highest ever I've been able to sustain.
and then you have Hollywood who has lower fan loyalty than us and can charge $10 more a ticket. This is one of the biggest reasons I have cared less about finances in this game. I'll stick with having a good 5 year run and then take a decade to get finances and prospects in order for another 5 year run

Team should be absolutely ashamed to be in this position having lost 3 of 4 to lowly NE at home with the playoffs on the line.

Current tally is 74 seasons out of 79 missing the playoffs, this year being 13 in a row. Good God I took over a horrific franchise.

I'm exported for wildcard round and am 90% positive we are good to go. Not sure what the rest status will be of my #2 pitcher for the second game. He is at 39% now, figures it goes up 30ish % each day so we shall see. Don't wait on me
