Johnny Sorrow Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My company had "Company night" at Coors Field tonight for the Rockies/ Padres game. I had to leave after the fifth to get home to take care of the dogs as the rest of the household is on vacation. Good thing, if I'd stick around for a 12 inning 16 to 12 loss I'd probably have cursed so much in front of the regional bosses and fellow employees kids that I'd have fucked all chances at eventually becoming office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a smart thing to do if you think the guy is relaying signals. Especially now that the slidepiece and the curve are more routine weapons for him. It's not just cutter cutter cutter. Plus the fact that he doesn't really bounce anything, so the WP / PB worry isn't really there. And while anything is possible, Caratini likely isn't going to yank one into the seats to tie it, so best case for CHC there is that he drives him in and keeps the line moving.

Do you think that the commissioner's office will approve this? I'm liking this trade a lot, particularly if it comes with three large pizzas with extra toppings.

dogwelder Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 From CNN's latest update: Quote David Ortiz was not the intended target of the murder-for-hire plot that led to the former Red Sox star being shot, authorities in the Dominican Republic said Wednesday. Prosecutor Jean Alain Rodríguez Sánchez told reporters that a friend of Ortiz, Sixto David Fernandez, who was seated at the player's table, was the target of the bungled hit. Fernandez and Ortiz were wearing similar clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Woah!! BREAKING: The Tampa Bay Rays have received MLB's permission to explore becoming two-city team: the Tampa Bay area and Montreal, sources tell ESPN. The plan: Play early-season home games in the Tampa Bay area and finish the season in Montreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Here are some more details Quote The Tampa Bay Rays received permission from Major League Baseball's executive council to explore a plan in which they would play early-season home games in the Tampa Bay area and the remainder of the year in Montreal, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN. While the plan is in its nascent stages, the Rays have embraced the two-city solution as the most feasible to saving baseball in the Tampa Bay area after years of failed attempts to build a new stadium in the region, according to sources. ------------------ Under the plan, the Rays would play in new stadiums in both the Tampa Bay area and Montreal, according to sources. The ability to play games early in the season in Florida would preclude the need for a domed stadium, cutting the cost of a new building. A month ago, Bronfman -- who along with Montreal businessman Mitch Garber has expressed interest in taking a minority stake in the Rays alongside owner Stuart Sternberg -- reached an agreement with a developer on a site in Montreal's Point-Saint-Charles neighborhood to potentially build a new stadium. The number of home games each city would receive has not been determined, according to sources. Significant hurdles remain for the plan to take root, sources said. Though two cities sharing a team isn't entirely novel -- the Expos played 22 home games in Puerto Rico in 2003, and Kansas City and Omaha split home games with the NBA's Kings in the 1970s -- the viability of long-term success remains in question. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27016429/sources-rays-explore-playing-montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) So if this actually happens, would the Rays then own the history of the Expos or would the Nationals still own that? I guess it would follow similar to the Indianapolis Colts who still own the history even when the Browns became the Baltimore Ravens.

The bigger question to me is how the fuck they would get the Blue Jays to agree. Since it is one thing for a 2nd Canadian team but in the other league. But a 2nd Canadian team in the AL East... yeah... good luck with that (Though it did lead me to think of a scenario where MLB would flip the Rays and Marlins. God @Dolfan in NYC hates me enough already.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I want baseball back in Montreal, but this is a recipe for failure. My guess is that this is mostly a scare tactic, I refuse to believe that Montreal would build a new park for half a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 But they might build a park for half a team with the understanding that they would one day become a full-time resident. I agree with you in that this is likely just some "Be nice to us or we'll leave!" type shit, though. With what appears to be Manfred's never-ending search for someplace to expand again, I'd rather they just bring the Expos back that way alongside the Portland or Vancouver or Las Vegas or Charlotte or Nashville franchise or wherever it ends up being.
