  1. This interaction between Miggy and a fan is so awesome http://m.mlb.com/video/v191386183/detcle-miggy-gives-bat-and-gloves-to-young-fan
  2. What the hell is he doing there? Is it like a lemonade stand, where for 50 cents he'll tell you what really happened? lol, bravo
  3. Charlotte could definitely be a viable candidate. Market them as a Carolina's team like they do with the Panthers.
  4. Where would they move though? Is there another market that really makes that much more sense or would really support a team that much better? San Antonio, Charlotte, and Portland are the biggest metro's without a team. I'm not counting Riverside since that's LA, more or less. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas Interesting that there are 13 metro's bigger than Milwaukee, which is the smallest MLB metro. Charlotte is a great city. They average close to 10,000 for AAA games (which is a gorgeous ballpark BTW). The link I posted earlier shows that Charlotte is dead last in AAA attendance with 3800.

  6. Where would they move though? Is there another market that really makes that much more sense or would really support a team that much better? I think just about anywhere could get more than 10,000 people to see a first place team in late June. Charlotte's a good idea if you want to keep them in the east. People bring up Montreal, though they struggled with attendance last time. I think Indianapolis could work. There's Portland and Las Vegas, and you could probably move the Astros to the AL East in that scenario. I think almost literally anywhere else would be better. http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/classifications/?cl_id=2 Judging by these attendance stats, Charlotte is dead last in attendance among all AAA cities with 3,800 a game. The only teams that average over 8,000 a game are Columbus, Lehigh Valley, Indy, Buffalo, Louisville, Round Rock, and Sacramento. Vegas is damn near dead last. Now, of course I think it's somewhat unfair to make a straight comparison between AAA attendance and expected MLB attendance since MLB is a whole different beast regarding interest, etc. I actually think a Memphis team would do well (the Redbirds average 7200 fwiw). That area of the country is probably the most populated area in the US that is the farthest from an MLB stadium. A Memphis team would get most of Tennessee, Little Rock (less than 2 hours away) and most of Arkansas, north Louisiana, all of Mississippi, and possibly even New Orleans (same distance to Houston and Memphis from NOLA). Southerners are all about baseball too. For example, Ole Miss averages 10,000 for SEC baseball games. I think it would need to be an indoor park; Memphis being right on the river is miserably muggy in the summer.

  8. Ok so I'm watching this on mute, what the hell are they talking about? Weather, I assume?
  9. I missed it. What happened to Fowler?
  10. It's really too bad Ross can't hit. He's a damn good catcher.

  19. Holy crap that Espinosa play was exciting
  20. http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Anthony-Rizzo.jpg vs.
  21. Random, but I just realized that before Mauer, the last time an MVP had less than 100 runs or 100 RBI was when Elston Howard won it in 1963.
  22. Pretty sure I wouldn't get Caesar's actual spelling right it's S Z and then C-ZUR they way you pronounce it badass. speaking of badasses, pretty sure I couldn't spell Wada's first name correctly.
