  1. Cardinals should win over 90 (and the Central). But if you want to look at that division, the Brewers could be an 85-win team if they have injuries to their pitching staff, and then get hot when healthy (although their offense is probably worse than the last 2 years when it wasn't great anyway). Or even the Cubs could potentially reach that threshold.
  2. I KNEW there was a term for that and I couldn't think of it. I blame it on hitting my head too often.
  3. I'm proud to have lived in Missouri my whole life. And clearly, you probably could stand to live here for awhile since my sense of logic and reason are clearly at a higher level than yours.
  4. A. You referring to yourself as a "wise man" to somehow validate your own personal opinion is narcissism at it's highest level. B. Are you seriously comparing St. Petersburg to San Francisco as if one's stadium location/population demographic is the same?
  5. Thanks for confirming our hypothesis that you are nothing more than a troll.
  6. I'd only see Miami in the Big Ten if they just wanted to get a Florida team that badly and missed out on Florida State.
  7. So I guess this starts the countdown clock on Clemson and Florida State joining the SEC and Miami joining... the Big 12? Maybe Big Ten if they're desperate enough to get down into Florida?
  8. On the Cardinals broadcast yesterday, they mentioned there's a clock on either side of the batter's eye and I think one by either on-deck circle, I think. And then one directly behind home plate (which I haven't seen, but may just be out of the view of the cameras. They said one is always visible to anywhere on the field.
  9. They probably felt it was even worse in Vegas and went with the lesser of two evils.
  10. Where would the play in Oakland? Doubt the A’s would let them play at the coliseum since they now have that s***hole all to themselves after the Raiders left.
  11. I don’t think this is a barometer on Las Vegas as a market at all. Before, they had no major league team, so leagues like this would’ve succeeded in the same vein as St. Louis, San Antonio and Orlando (I assume). Now, they have new major teams that fans are gonna spend their money on, so it’s not an established enough market to handle both types of leagues. Seattle, DC, Dallas, Houston, etc are established enough that, especially in sports like football, namely for Texas, the major league team doesn’t necessarily pull away from the secondary league teams. Like for example, if St. Louis got another team, or San Antonio got AN NFL team, I don’t know if the Battlehawks or Brahmas would be as successful if they stayed. Being an established team in that league may help, but a new major league team is always gonna take priority.
  12. No, what they need to do, is relocate Vegas to San Diego or another city for next season and be done with it.
  13. Wow. How convenient that you ignored the first part where I mentioned their stadium lease. You know, at Tropicana Field? In St. Petersburg? Where they've played for the last 25 years? I hope for your sake that you are simply a troll and don't actually believe everything you say.
  14. It's called a "stadium lease", genius. Not to mention building a stadium in a new city. You really shouldn't comment on things you don't understand.
  15. I think between the Vipers and Guardians identity relocations, they felt Guardians worked better in Orlando than Vegas, coupled with the desert setting and alliteration of "Vegas Vipers", and went that way.
  16. Not really. They're saying light blue is not a primary team color. And, like the other teams that have recently added powder blue uniforms, save for the Rays and Royals, it was more as it's prior use in the 70s and 80s as a base uniform color like white and gray. Purely for throwback reasons, even if used with current branding. I'm also of the belief that the dropping of the red jersey hints that the future City Connect uniform will possibly be predominantly red-based, and so they decided to keep the previous color allotment intact (white, gray, royal, red, powder blue), just with a different red one.
  17. The Rays are an on-field, winning, year in year out, contending franchise. Their lack of attendance has everything to do with market/stadium viability, or lack thereof, and not the on-field product. Contracting a successful on-field team makes no sense when, in this situation, relocating them to a viable market would make more sense and actually be ideal, as they would start out with a good team rather than having to build from scratch as an expansion franchise. And possibly relocating to just Tampa could possibly have the same effect.
  18. Glad to see you maintaining your disconnect from reality.
  19. It's far more common in softball than baseball than you probably think. And I agree, monochrome white and gray look good, but, much like the NFL, not with other colors. In my opinion at least. Your whole "suit" theory is ill-applied as you just automatically assume ALL monochrome is therefore good, while not taking into account different colors or the actual differences, and uses, of regular suits compared to baseball uniforms.
  20. The monochrome navy looks far more softball-like than if they wore white pants.
