theroundsquare Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM The location of that Tampa Tarpons (nee Yankees) stadium is where the Rays stadium ought to have been all along, but couldn't be, because the Yankees were there already. It is right across from the Bucs stadium (though the Tampa Yanks were there first) in an area that has good major road and freeway service. Appropros of nothing, I also met Skeeter Barnes there once when he was managing the Lakeland Tigers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a move to Tampa in the cards in order to replace Old Comiskey. It's a ploy to get funding for the Southside stadium, whether by Jerry or someone else. Brandon Johnson's already gonna throw a couple billion of my dollars at a new Bears stadium, so what's a couple billion more for a new Jerx Sox Parx? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Nashville happening, though, perhaps as an audition for the White Sox to move there after the Dave Stewart group buys them from Reinsdorf. If the Sox were bought and moved to Nashville, they should move them to the NL Central and put Milwaukee or Pittsburgh in the AL Central 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be for the Brewers coming back to the AL, partially because that's my history, mostly because that would mean the Tigers would go there semiannually instead of biannually. Based on their recent run of success, though, I don't see them as eager to leave the NL Central anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted Thursday at 11:50 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:50 PM Blown save for Clase. A 2-run, 2-out line drive homer by Judge in the 8th inning ties the game 3-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted Friday at 02:17 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:17 AM I want both teams to lose so it’s all good. In fact of all 4 teams left I really don’t want any of them to win. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted Friday at 12:59 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:59 PM according to the twitter.... that's the first postseason game featuring a game tying, and go ahead HR by both teams with 2 outs in the 8th inning or later. Kind of convoluted but makes the point it's been a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted Friday at 05:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:08 PM I feel a bit funny posting this because I don’t like the Guardians at all and in fact am jealous of what could have been if the Tigers had won game 4 or 5, but the Spanish-language calls of the Noel and Fry homers are a hoot. It really was a great game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted Friday at 10:56 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:56 PM (edited) Mi padre trabajaba en una imprenta justo al otro lado de la autopista del estadio Tiger. De hecho, imprimían los programas diarios de cada partido y mi padre los traía a casa todo el tiempo. Me enfermé cuando tenía 12 años y no podía hacer mucho. Él trajo a casa un anuario de los Tigers de 1977. Me mostró la parte de atrás donde estaban las direcciones de todos los equipos de las grandes ligas y me dio un rollo de sellos y una caja de sobres y me dijo que escribiera a cada equipo y pidiera un calendario de bolsillo. Así lo hice y casi todos los equipos respondieron (Ey Brewers y Astros, ¿demasiado ocupados para ayudar a un niño?). La mayoría de los equipos simplemente enviaron un calendario, pero algunos equipos enviaron otras cosas como tarjetas. El equipo que más envió fue los Mets. Me enviaron horarios, imanes, pegatinas y parches. Desde entonces me gustaron los Mets por eso. ¡Así que VIVA METS!
