    What does this have to do with MLB never coming to Portland

    I'd love to see Portland get MLB. The stadium plan is fantastic. But it's gonna have to be through expansion. Vegas seem to be the front runner for the A's, and who knows what the heck is going on with the Rays. The Rays have a great team that hardly draws. Florida ,a great Spring Training area, is an awful MLB location because of pathetic fan support. A new stadium didn't help the Marlins draw more fans, it probably won't be the answer in Tampa/St. Pete either. My worry is the Baseball Group led by spokesman Mike Barrett , doesn't have as much financial support as they say. Otherwise they should be ALL OVER the Rays like Vegas is with the A's. Vegas acts like their ready to break ground tomorrow. The time to Pounce is NOW!

    It was an incredible season for what was supposed to be , basically, a band of misfits to make a squad. They played like their lives depended on it. Not a Giants fan, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they won it all.

    They’d hate whoever the Lakers are of their league……they’d predict 150 wins a season and then blame the coach at the end of each year.

    pretty much been the Giants’ MO, aside from Buster Posey, since 2010.

    Is PDX still in the running for a MLB team?
    Arn't there, other cities competing for the same?

    Until a shovel hits the ground to start construction on a stadium, baseball in Portland is a pipe dream.

    Yep, Build it and they will come!
    There should have been one here back in the early 60's playing at the Delta Dome. Sometimes with somethings saying no, is once to many, and the opportunity slips way.

    There hasn't been anyone with balls in Portland local government since Neil Goldschmitt. They'll worth with developers to construct entire neighborhoods designed for gentrification, but "sportsball" doesn't fit their bougie vision of Portland.

    Portland is a dump now. No way we get another team. Even the city council has commented about how tourism and conferences have completely dried up.

    Incorrect. It's Dolph, followed closely by Hebo.

    Who wouldn't want to watch the Dolph Dolphins or Hebo Hedonists play?
