I guess it's moreso about whether the Reds want to swallow a chunk of that
contract even though the White Sox have shown that they can still hit. As
far as today went, I was satisfied with the split because even though they
reported 29,000 in Texas - it seemed like Wrigley Field back in the early -
mid sixties as far as the crowd seemed. I get a sense that the White Sox
thrive on big attendance to make them play tighter because anything that's
been hurting them recently has been their fielding...
