On Facebook I saw a funny but sad meme declaring that Spring Training is the only time fans come out to see baseball in Florida. I have to say kudos to the person who created that cruel and sadly factual statement. I feel bad for the Rays players who deserve to be playing in a full stadium day in and day out.
I have felt that way about Kansas City which has a lot of talent and the first truly beautiful stadium in the last 45 years of baseball. I am happy to see that the people of Pittsburgh have come out to support a great team in arguably one of the four or five most beautiful stadiums in the game. This brings me to the easy question… when are the Rays getting a new stadium?
But it’s not going to matter because the Marlins built a new stadium in Miami, and, after the first series, no one came. This makes me believe that the people of Florida don’t deserve major league baseball. And that leads me to the bigger question … where should the Rays move to? The Marlins are not going to be able to move for quite some time and Jeffery Loria doesn’t deserve to have fans in that brand new park because he is a smarmy, disgusting, and un-loyal P.O.S. who has screwed over his fan base many times and screwed over the city of Miami.
Seriously: Where do you think the Rays should relocate?
I’m going to throw out an idea… I’d like to see the Rays moved to New York. The city could easily handle a third MLB team.
Loading ...Replay gets it … right?
At the beginning of this week in Fort Myers, Fla. during the Twins/Blue Jays game, Major League Baseball ushered in a new experimental era with the use of expanded instant replay. I listened to the game while typing this and John Gibbons challenged a bad call. In a nod to early instant replay issues in the NFL and NBA … the replay people got it wrong because of a lack of proper camera placement. Welcome to the modern age…
Oh No, Sano!
As you know I’m a Minnesota guy and I’ve been pretty upset with Twins management for about the last five or six years. This last week they blundered again – or made a horribly cheap financial move. Consensus top-five MLB prospect Miguel Sano was diagnosed with an Ulnar injury and is going to have Tommy John surgery.
Sano was originally diagnosed with the injury in the middle of the second game of winter ball. This means the Twins could have chosen to have Sano undergo surgery back in November or December, which would have brought him back in eight months and allowed him a chance to be back to playing ball in AA or AAA by July. Now he’s done for the entire season and will likely not see the Major Leagues until after June of 2015.
Is it mismanagement or is it a snake bit franchise? I think the answer is yes.
