    I'm pulling for the Nationals also but i have never really been a fan of theirs. Just was looking to see a new team win and they were there. Now if they win it will set a few new records. Never has a visiting team won every game on the road and never has a team without home field won all road games. There is a couple more but those a the big ones.

    Their franchise also never won a World Series as the Nationals or Expos. I usually root for the underdog if my team is not there.

    Portland probably had the best triple A hockey team ever. They use do win the Lester Patrick Cup championship about every other year.
    One year they played the major league hockey champions in a three game series and Portland won two of the three games.
    The Portland Storm was a pretty decent football team. Not great but respectable.

    It's already been debunked that is how that went down about Vegas. Besides, I think the PDP wants an expansion team and the A's leaving for Vegas pretty much guarantees that Portland would be one of those expansion teams, if they expand.

    Its never happened that theres been all 6 games won by the road team.

    Though its a bit misleading since not all series go 7 games... So id like to see how many game 7s have happenrd in sports. (Its never happened in any of the major sports).

    Well it’s too bad MLB has no plans to expand in the foreseeable future.

    yea it does. But the stadium and the fun around it would be what draws me to pay attention but the sport itself id rather watch a turtle race

    @VanillaGorilla

    As a baseball fan, I get this. It's slow, the best players aren't always showcased during crunch time, etc.

    I happen to adore baseball, and going to watch MLB live is a fantastic experience, but it's easy to understand why some people don't like it
