Charlotte is the most logical. Growing population, top 25 TV market, good corporate city and they lead the minors in attendance every year as well. But they just built the minor league stadium in 2014 and it can't be expanded. They want an MLS team, and rolling them out together with a new multi sport facility would be feasible. I'm not sure about Vancouver and Seattle's proximity and if they would cause trouble. I do believe that Tampa Bay deserves a chance to have the team in their actual city before relocation happens. What would the Jays draw if their games were played in Mississauga?

It was well before that. Loria essentially bought a broken team and lied about how he was going to save it, meanwhile he used all the f***-ups of the previous regimes to plead that it was not salvageable and this was his intentional all along. But the Expos had two huge attendance decline's before Loria came in. One in the mid 80's when they dealt Carter and Dawson, then again after the strike. Even before the strike they were always botton few in attendance. The best team in baseball in 1994 and the second lowest attendance in the NL. Essentially they tried to make the Expos the "French Canadian team" and the Francophone essentially doesn't give a f*** about baseball (generalized statement but close to true). They stopped producing English merchandise, they got rid of the English radio broadcast and TSN was allowed to air the games they wanted and only pay ($5,000 per game which is hilarious now but equally as bad back then) when they aired a game. The French still didn't care and they lost a lot of Anglophone fans, who had the Jays on air more often than the Expos.

The current MOU allows for them to play 10 days outside of the Trop. Mayor of St. Pete's (who the Rays have the Iron clad lease with) has already started talking about "new stadium in St. Pete's or lawsuit" This is a leverage move IMO. The concept of a split city seems insane and full of issues. I just don't see it happening the way it is being proposed. I loved my Expos. I also went to more games than most people that live in Montreal. They just don't deserve to get a team. They will f*** it up again

Why doesn't exciting stuff like this happen at Jays games? https://www.southernliving.com/news/memphis-redbirds-mayonnaise-man?fbclid=IwAR3KadXRLF52D8hyQAzCEMnQURcClOxc44uEvWXTnLcP25KDM8Q95E6pNM8

Donkey punch...and yes it is

Just bench them, you are facing a team with no starters.

You have your do or die week and you are thinking about the draft? I want your focus on our matchup?

is there even another team you would have lost to this week? I suppose the pitching was bad but your offense was good.

Oh I did...and I am making a statement to the Drunks too. If my team puts up these numbers in the playoffs no one in the league can touch me.

same thing my ex wife said in bed.

It's Jerry D. He probably saw him make a defensive play and now he intends to make him his left fielder.

I am hearing Jaun Then is the return. Nice return Ranked New York Yankees #22 prospect after the 2018 season Track Record: The Mariners liked Then’s quick arm and projectable frame and signed him out of the Dominican Republic for $77,000 in 2016 before flipping him, along with lefty J.P. Sears, to the Yankees for reliever Nick Rumbelow. He made his Yankees debut in 2018, posting a 2.70 ERA in 11 starts in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. Scouting Report: Then boasts a three-pitch mix that starts with a low-90s fastball that touches 95 mph. The pitch features running and riding action out of an overhand slot. He backs up his fastball with a 78-82 mph curveball with hard, downward snap. The pitch is inconsistent but projects plus with repetition and development. He also throws a mid-80s change that shows hard sinking action and could be average in the future. There are some concerns about his somewhat straight fastball, which is exacerbated by his lack of size and little remaining projectability. The Future: Then has a chance to stick in the rotation as his arsenal develops, but the bullpen is also a possibility. He should pitch at one of the Yankees’ two short-season affiliates in 2019.

does that make them the Yankeeees? No report on the return yet will update They must be either confident that Stanton can play RF everyday...or they are anticipating his season ending injury

Already offered Ingram and the 4th to the Knicks to move up to 3 and take RJ. Knicks would love an overrated stat stuffer like Ingram.

It's really strange being in the middle of the Prairies drinking by myself celebrating this. I really want to be in Toronto for this (in a bar not on the street cause I'm not a peasant)

That was the initial reaction. Plus Kimbrel is coming so Cishek will either be a holds guy (or dropped). It was more that I'm getting Alvarado and Morrow back, so I have to learn not to panic about a two week run of poor holds. The offers were honestly pretty good. But they all hurt my ratios in comparison to Colome and Luke. With my 20 to 30 IP's a week, I felt it could make a difference.

To turn this into a real thread. Is EE a lock for the $20M option next year (technically $15 cause he got a sweet $5M buyout clause)?

https://www.thedingervilletimes.com/blog/2019/5/7/baltimore-orioles-offer-manager-position-to-undefeated-10u-travel-ball-coach It's a parody site. But it's fun to see that as bad as it is in Toronto...there is always Baltimore.

The rapid fire queef'ing after the 9th goal is likely what drew the anger.

Lloyd's mom is a bit of a **** for her exuberance...and wearing of flags.

yes

No one quite gave me the offer I was hoping for on the Saves for holds. deal. I will be countering a couple of them, give me time.

Blowouts suck, but celebrating when you score is fine no matter the score. I suppose I should watch the video first cause if they are running up into the crowd and doing choreographed dances with the crowd...that's a bit much.

Purely because of that deal I ditched my team in shame and put the #1 overall in the dispersal draft. Which went 18th overall between Cutch and AJ Pollock

Oops yes he is not one of my rotating RP's with SP eligibility. He was dropped with the Touki deal. Must be BORED where I still have Hardy
