Hurlshort Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Love the spot, but those pyramid buildings are a bit weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Love the arboreal look on the top. I hope they can make it happen. The Rays new stadium is proceeding well enough with the financing. But they have to have the money in place by year's end.

Guard Dog Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 The dream is dead: https://www.draysbay.com/2018/12/11/18136358/tampa-bay-rays-new-stadium-project-not-happening The Rays new stadium hopes are over. There is no money to build in Tampa and no point in building in St. Petersburg so it looks like the Rays will have to just tread water until the lease at the Trop runs out in 2027 at which point Major League Baseball in Tampa Bay will die an ignoble death as the team relocates to Montreal or Portland.

ShadySands Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Montreal, really? Didn't think of all the Canadan cities that would be a big baseball market.. after what happened with the Expos, I mean Edited December 12, 2018 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 There is money & interest there now. The decline, fall, and utter ruin of the Expos can be laid at the feet or one man: Jeffrey Loria. He spent seven years running the Expos into the ground and out of Canada. Then, after a shady back room deal reminiscent of baseball eras long past he ends up in control of the Marlins. Once in South Florida he showed us all that we had not yet even seen the depths of his malice. For fifteen terrible, turbulent seasons he decimated our team, demoralized the players, lied to the MLB & MLBPA, ripped of the city of Miami, and actively antagonized the fans. He actually sued season ticket holders who declined to renew. Through fire sales, meddling with managers and feckless business practice he made the fish hated in their home town and mocked everywhere else. If he were on fire I wouldn't even piss on the SOB. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 "He actually sued season ticket holders who declined to renew." Woah. I musta missed that. I know a lot of his dickish moves... but what his psycho 'reasoning' on that one? DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 There is still love in Montreal for the MLB https://ballparkdigest.com/2018/12/13/report-support-high-for-mlbs-return-to-montreal/ Baseball - Loria = 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Supported until they actually have to pay for tickets, show up, etc. MTL doesn't deserve a team. Any city that has a team fold should be BANNED from any more teams for one century. PERIOD. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Guard Dog Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Wow, this is a pretty big deal: https://www.mlb.com/news/reds-acquire-puig-kemp-wood-farmer/c-302138936 LA just moved a lot of money off the books. I expect a free agent signing of some significance shortly.

Guard Dog Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Well how about this? Tim Tebow wins a Heisman Trophy, two National Championships, playes in the NFL, will likely play in the MLB this season, has dated two Miss Universe winners and is now getting married to one of them. Not bad at all. https://www.mlb.com/cut4/tim-tebow-got-engaged-to-demi-leigh-nel-peters/c-302574002 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
