    Let me save you some reading

    1. Enter cathedral
    2. Eat hot dog or nachos
    3. Drink beer (repeat this several times)
    4. Hang out with friends or date
    5. Pay attention when ball is thrown
    6. Dont care about score because PDX will likely rarely compete due to market size, so RELAX

    Market size doesn't really have the impact in baseball like it does in basketball.

    I'm sure this was asked before, but if Portland gets an MLB team, would they host the MLB all star weekend before the Blazers host the NBA all star weekend?

    Moreso.

    There is no salary cap, so teams like the Yankees, Cubs, RedSox, etc. reside in the 150 mm plus range, while league average is about half that.

    Teams can rise up from time to time, but mostly the Pirates of the world aren't there

    That is why I want an expansion team. If done right they could follow an Astros/Royals type blueprint and just focus on developing young players for a few years and then hopefully pop a couple years before all those players need new contracts.

    So if we DO get a team, will we be in the NW division still with Utah, Minny, OKC and Denver?
    And how many team’s make the playoffs, the normal 8 per conference?

    This is what I'm thinking.

    Look at the Rays, D-backs, Rockies... took a few years, but they took a trip and/or won the WS.
