Very cool night. Gonna do it again tomorrow. Sorry bout the "*******" comment. Forgot which thread i was posting in
Keeps getting better....up to five now!
I want everyone's oppinion on possible baseball expansion....for the sake of arguement, if MLB were to add two teams, where should they be?
I'd say New Orleans and Portland
As much as I love NOLA, they can't support a AAA team let alone a MLB team. I don't think it would work out there.
I like the idea of Portland, but I know nothing of the market there.
How about New Mexico?
Maine, to take over some of Red Sox country?
A third team in NY again? I would love that. LOVE.
I doubt that Maine would work. The real issue is that if it is in anyone's backyard, that team is going to HOWL real loud. I don't think we need more teams, but I would say Portland would be reasonable, as would Charlotte, or somewhere in the Southeast. Right now there are no teams, except for Atlanta in the area south of DC, north of Florida, west of the coast, or east of Texas/Missouri. I know that the ACC/SEC has a few teams that can draw pretty well.

Screw Charlotte! They already have the Panthers. I think a MLB team in the Raleigh-Durham area would do quite well. College and minor league teams already get a great deal of support, and even the NHL Hurricanes do incredibly well in the area. Plus with the universities in the area there is a plethora of adults with degrees (and income) who would embrace the strategy and sabermetrics of baseball. I'm sure the teams in DC and Atlanta would howl that their fans are being poached but I've never seen anyone wear a Nationals/Orioles/Braves hat here.
A team in Vegas, although it's god awful hot, would probably do very well too. If you really wanted to expand the game, a team in Puerto Rico would be great.
Just got bac from Las Vegas, It was 106 on sunday....The Dodgers used to have their AAA club(the 51s) who are now the Mets AAA. I like So. Carolina as an option also.
I smell something fishy here. Did you do something to Zach wheeler while you were there. He's posed to make his big league debut next week, word has it, and all of a sudden, you make an impromptu visit to Vegas. Something is rotten in Muddville.
Anyone worried about the steroids investigation and their fantasy teams?
... let everyone use them and let's see some 115 mph pitchers against 550 foot HR hitters! That would be fun baseball
It was mentioned on a local sport radio show yesterday....Did anyone find it odd that 95% of the names on the list are Hispanic/Latino names? The discussion even went on to suggest a not so obvious theory on that also.
Viva Puig!

Finally I had a good night after performances by Gallardo and Bautista. I'm sure it won't last though...
