    I know that he is a great, fantastic, talent, and I like watching him as a player, but...

    I do not like that guy at all, he is a whiney entitled jackass.

    Every time the HPU calls a strike on him at the plate, he turns around and stares him down. He acts like every ball 2 is a walk and every strike 3 is a personal affront. **** him.

    He belongs with the Mets.

    I thought being in St. Petersburg was a big part of the current problem. A newer stadium should help, but hope access to games is better for fans.

    St Pete is a big part of the problem. Tampa people have to drive a while to get to the stadium.

    Yikes. Meaningless games for the Braves too. They've been clinched the best overall record in MLB. Snitker was already playing his best players nearly every game.

    Given that MLB will be expanding, inevitably:

    East:

    BOS
    NYY
    NYM
    BAL
    DC
    TOR
    PHI
    ATL
    TB
    MIA
    DET
    CWS
    MIN
    CLE
    PIT
    [Nashville?]

    West:

    HOU
    TEX
    LAD
    SDP
    LAA
    SEA
    ARZ
    COL
    STL
    CUB
    MIL
    KC
    CIN
    OAK/LV
    SF
    [Portland?]

    No Divisions. Just like the old days.

    You really think they are expanding? I thought they continually say there are a number of small market teams not doing that well?

    As far as I know, there are two teams that are not doing well, Tampa (I think they are still making a profit, just a small one) and the A's.
    Tampa just got a new stadium announced. A's are going to be headed for Las Vegas.

    Once settled, I think $150M per owner will entice the owners to approve expansion.

    Makes no sense at all to stay in St Pete. That’s crazy.

    Tampa Rays are falling apart. Lowe and Azorena both hurt.
