    It won’t happen. Even if it did happen it won’t work.

    I don't know about that as this seems to be about as serious as any plan has been to bring baseball to Portland

    This is a sad statement but it's so true. You couldn't pay me enough to commute via mass transit in Portland.

    There is no way mass transit here could handle even 20% of Portland traffic. What a joke.

    It's nice to have in case of an emergency but that's about it.

    Why is it sad? You don't want baseball here?

    Let's hope this is not what is going on here.

    I have always used my own vehicle to get around town , but the Max is great for commuting to PGE Park or Moda Center and would be great to getting to a baseball game if we get a team. Other than going to one of our sports teams I think I have ridden the bus maybe twice.

    What's wrong with bicycle paths? It would seem that getting people out and about burning calories and getting in a heart healthy aerobic workout would be at least as preferable as having people sitting on their butts while drinking too much beer and eating too many hot dogs, not that there's anything wrong with that.

    If you search for "Portland Mlb" on Twitter there are multiple literal communists going crazy about it already.

    I’d go to a few games. It’s a sad comment because it is the one that supposedly legitimizes the idea.

    Shit, this is the first time I've been excited as a Mariners fan too. 43-24, 6.5 games ahead of the playoff cutline.

    MLB in Portland would be awesome. Even if you're not a 'hawks fan, c'mon having Russ as an investor only makes a stronger case. Let it happen peeps. Would love to have an I-5 baseball rivalry.

    I'd be a Portland fan 1st, but I still think I'd be a Mariners fan.. it'd be weird.

    I'd be torn tbh. I've been an M's fan for many years, but it's grown tiring and I'd view a P-town team as an alternate team to root for and it'd be more fresh. I've also been a long time Braves fan, but can't say I wouldn't buy a Portland team jersey to sport.

    I'd probably root for whoever was doing better. If everything was tied, I'd root for Portland.
