Guess the biggest question now is how quick will it be before Rob Manfred does the ultimate Rob Manfred thing and allow Pete Rose to be eligible for the Hall of Fame.  Pete mentioned in  the HBO documentary I believe that the last thing he wanted to get in after he died so he couldn't enjoy it

Google "Pete Rose 16" and you'll see why he's never getting in.

With the passing of Pete it reminds me of an old Spring Training story from the year Pete signed with the Expos. Al Oliver was in the corner talking to the Expos beat writers running down his career stats and why he thinks he should be in the HOF when he retired. Hearing this Pete yells across the room to Gary Carter, "Hey kid you know the difference between Al Oliver and us? He thinks he will be a hall of famer. We know we are." Oh Pete. At least you made the WWE HOF

I wonder how long it took the poor intern to find a photo where the helmet was in JUST  the right spot.

a lot longer than it would've been to just use a photo from a road game, certainly

Because he didn't reach his innings trigger, Justin Verlander is now a free agent.

Francona isn’t actually the oldest manager in the NL Central. Pat Murphy, who looks like if Ned Yost fucked Rex Hudler, is older than Terry.

Terry might look LaRussa old but he’s not that old yet.

Thad Levine has stepped down as Twins GM

Clearly he was the odd man out as the team had already said that Chief Baseball Officer Derek Falvey (who Levine reported too) and Manager Rocco Baldelli were returning

The Pohlad Family announced that they are "exploring" selling the Twins

This doesn't mean they will sell (just see the Lerner Family in DC as example of this dance)

I guess it's lucky they sucked this season, now they have 6 months to fix that roof.  Assuming of course those rafters weren't damaged and/or the Rays actually want to put anything resembling money into a stadium they're leaving in 2-3 years anyway.

all those photoshops of a roofless Trop didn't include the catwalks

also ready for the Twins to be sold in some way where the Pohlads actually turn out to be the better ownership group than the next group

All these ownership groups "exploring" selling their teams except the motherfucker who most needs to be.

the Rays play two NL teams at home in the first week of the season, so the interleague scheduling makes it a bit complex for them to figure out how to reschedule games if they need a buffer zone for games at the Trop

also they're playing the Rockies and Pirates, so those aren't good cities for late March baseball so you probably can't just start the Rays with home games in the other teams ballpark

so... if the Trop can't go... guess the Rays play games at the place where they put Nitro during the 1996 Olympics

Posted

Apparently the bigger concern is water damager as the Trop has no drainage system (due to have the roof) 

So now that the field and structure are exposed - its gonna be fucked for as long as its raining

I’d be curious to hear about all the spring training facilities in the region. There used to be a lot of teams HQ in that general area (Philly,Toronto, Detroit).
