    I agree and I love Baseball and played many years!
    If they would limit the amount of middle relievers and shorten the game some alone with maybe expanding the playoffs some with a new marketing approach maybe it would re-engerize the sport some beyond war babies like me. Im a purest and never wanted to endorse the idea of playoff expansion but it would help promote the game. Other sports have proven that.

    Yea I agree. All they seem interested in is peddling their merchandise. Barrett said “4-6 weeks” on land purchase back in early July. That tells you enough right there how legitimate they are..

    A new t-shirt store is just as good as a baseball team, isn't it?

    This "delay" is precisely why I didn't get too excited about this.

    The thing that still gives me hope is that MLB seems to want one more team somewhere in the western part of the country. Las Vegas just built an arena and is currently building a football stadium. I guess they could get baseball too but that seems like a stretch. What other cities would even be in play at that point?

    I guess, none of those cities really scare me right now. I'm not sure Mexico City will be a viable place to have a full-time team. Vancouver doesn't scream baseball city to me and they lost the NBA already. Sacramento almost lost their NBA team too and is really close to existing teams. Salt Lake could be a candidate but I'd have to think Portland would be higher on the list.

    Guarantee MLB has requested that they wait until after the post season ends to make any announcements such as land acquisition and stadium designs. MLB doesn't want any thunder stolen from the playoffs.

    I hope the town gets a team before baseball dies out. Since that seems to be what the world wants.

    Seems like this country wants it too. That's the reason I don't watch it anymore. I couldn't watch something I love slowly die.

    I think there's just too many people who love the game... Now, in 100 years? Yeah, probably. But not in the next 50 years. And by that time, I'm getting a scrub down from Patty, whose been at her job way too long and has unneeded resentment towards me.

    I got sick of being being criticized for liking a sport it's cool to bash. It got to the point where if I'm at a sports bar, ask to watch a baseball game, I got groans. So I was about ready to punch somebody in the mouth. And then the same people will bitch about how there is no parity in basketball and they all hate the Warriors. People are fucking sheep but they are also a fucking mob who have to have something to tear down. But I'd rather be able to talk about last nights game with somebody than never talking about it at all.

    Cuckzano posted an article saying there would be an announcement after the WS, so that sounds right.
