    It's insane to me that Oakland is getting completely hosed, yet a dipshit franchise like the Rays just keep meandering through existence.
    Both Oakland and the Rays have great farm systems.  The problem with the A's is they don't want to pay anybody.  The Rays will dish out at least a little bit of cash.

    I’d rather attend a game in the crumbling Oakland coliseum than sit in Tampa’s awful dome.

    That's what I'm saying. The location, the fan base, the market, definitely do not deserve it in Oakland.

    In their history there's never been such thing as a St. Pete Rays fan base. They exist for no other reason than to be a back pocket negotiation tool for the league. They're the type of organization that makes the idea of a salary cap without a salary floor unconscionable.

    Oakland's issue is absolutely ownership and being treated like an unwanted stepchild. It's gross.

    Went to the 4th 11am start of Reds vs. Nats.  Had great seats but watched a bunch from the shade.
    Holy hell, it was brutally hot.




    been there....I have finally learned to plan my ticket location based on time of day. A 7pm game I can take but afternoon in the sun can be brutal as hell.

    plus your beer gets warm

    I'm 2 hrs from there and haven't been to a game since... 2011, I think?! Need to go back and check out the area now that it's built up. Back then it was a lot of empty lots and abandoned buildings.
    I'm headed to Cinci first weekend of August for my first game at GABP.  Can hardly wait!  Coincidentally they play the Nats.
    it's a great area...the bars close to GABP fill up quick but Yard House and Moerlein's can hold a lot of people. 

    And Tin Roof has some of the greatest nashville hot chicken tenders I've ever had

    Elly just stole 2nd, then 3rd and home on the next pitch.  (Yes, 2 bases on one pitch....the pitcher didn't pay attention.)
    This kid is awesome.

    A lot of mediocre teams. Which I guess is good because everyone has a chance for the wild card. There are teams underperforming and teams overperforming
    Mets last year had 101 wins.  This year they absolutely stink.
    Was hoping they turned the corned but after six in a row, they head to the break with two losses.


    Amazing how one injury to their most important player cascaded a domino effect on the bullpen. One injury can decimate a bullpen.

    The Mets still have a chance if they can make more runs like that.  Scherzer was off.  If he gets back to normal they'll do better I hope.

    The Mayor reported to be the Yankees New hitting coach.  This is long past due. Case is an encyclopedia on hitting and one of the most inspiring people going.  Yanks are gonna love this.  Just having him in the dugout makes them better.

    Haha.  Four Seasons jokes will never stop amusing me.

    He is a hitting nerd, as well.  Not only a super guy, and super motivating....he studied hitting like a freak since high school, made himself into the top hitter in NCAA (ave) after only being offered a partial scholarship by one school.   Guy is 🔥

    I forgot.  I saw him side stage at Cincy 2014, we were sitting just above.  Dude freaked for much of the show - true fan.
