    So are the Oakland A’s just content with being a farm system for all of the MLB?

    I’m kind of confused on why that team hasn’t been sold off?

    but then again they’ve easily had more success than the Mariners in the last 20 years

    Maybe if an MLB team comes to Portland (stop laughing), the Blazers might actually be forced to give a shit about fans.

    (seriously, stop laughing)

    Guess they needed to sell a few more hats and T-shirts, so had to throw out some quotes to a media member willing to listen.

    I'm a massive baseball fan and try to be optimistic about getting a team..

    But god damn, this is nothing but a grift at this point. It's so sad.

    Meh... Folks who have never been homeless can't stop this crisis. Why do we depend on politicians who have no experience helping the homeless.

    It's like having someone institute drug policy who never smoked weed. Get them the fuck away from office if you ask me.

    You can lead an ass to the internet, but can't make them find the right thread to troll in?

    Shouldn't they be responsible for bringing in subject matter experts though? It's like the President. Many of them don't have any experience with the military, so they rely on the Secretary of Defense or the Joint Chiefs. This is why they also have cabinet members in their respective fields.

    So I would expect our local politicians to bring in the right people to handle this kind of thing.

    I heard Barrett talking about baseball in a recent interview and I believe he mentioned parking and land rights as hanging up MLB team being jumpstarted in Portland. He didn't sound optimistic, more like they've tried everything they can think of to solve the problem and it's still a problem.

    Maybe if they added 15 pounds of muscle during the off season.

    The city needs those parking spots to gouge $4000 for rent in a studio apartment.

    Honestly, as much as I'd love it to be in Portland somewhere, they'd be much better off doing it out of the city limits.
