I love the weekday games against no name teams. Get great seats for cheap, less traffic and less confusion inside/outside the stadium and you are surrounded by mostly hardcore fans.

Hold my stick means something different off the field

2019 opening day will be Nick Markakis bobblehead day.

He owns under 50% of the Rays. If you combine the wealth of everyone that owns that team, it's well over 800 million. If you want a new stadium, finance it yourself.

It's such a con job when billionaires get the taxpayer to fund their toys (stadiums)

He's eligible for the HOF in 2019, but the Jays should retire his number immediately. Not this matters at all though. What terrible news. RIP

What the hell

Crack?

Rogers is content with being a .500 team that draws 25K in the stands and a few hundred thousand on TV. If 50K in the stands each night over the last two years and millions watching on TV wasn't enough to motivate them to increase the payroll dramatically, nothing will. They will never be a top 5 payroll team that "goes for it", nor will they be a complete tear down team that wins 60- 65 games. Rogers always plays it safe. They are in it to sell commercials, not win the world series. Shapiro will likely sell off a couple vets/impending FAs, but I doubt you see a dramatic sell off. I have this sick feeling that they will be a 70-80 win team for the next few years.

Interesting idea by the Cards. A Netflix-like subscription fee for attending games. http://m.mlb.com/cardinals/tickets/info/ballpark-pass
