    Shit. It would be worth it just to get the anti-baseball crowd have to complain on this board each April. Hat Har Har....

    No seriously, I think that's great. And I think that we owe Pat Casey a lot for keeping the sport relevant at an amateur level. Now back to the playoffs!

    As much as I love the aesthetically pleasing locations, I want it to be somewhere with parking. Or at least somewhere that they can put a shit ton of mass transit so you can get there from a place that you can park.

    The Mariners won't let this happen, half of their fanbase would instantly vanish. I'd drop them like a rock anyway though if they successfully blocked it if it actually got that close to happening.

    Would you still be a Yankee fan...? A fan of both? Or a Portland ThunderCats fan?

    How exactly could they stop it???

    If they did stop it, they'd lose fans as well. I'd instantly turn against them if they stopped Portland from getting an MLB team.

    Baseball or not, I'll root for ANY team from Portland. Those MFs could be professional Corn Hole players!!

    How? I figured we just lost out to DC. The Orioles didn't exactly want a team in their backyard either.

    MLB and NFL consider Portland to be in "Seattle's Territory". This is basically East Coast creatins who have no idea (or don't care) what the distance is between the two cities. They are just interested in protecting their existing franchises. These are the same people that can be okay with teams in Baltimore, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York in the same geographical distance from one another as Portland and Seattle.

    It's actually a thing this time.

    Apparently Mike Barrett is one of the investors. Very interesting.

    He's the public face of a possible ownership group, he's not an investor.

    My guess is it would be a National League team. Seattle is an AL team and they always create one club of each league during expansion. No reason you can't go to see a team in another league.
