There is a movement to get a MLB team in Raleigh, NC - the owner of the Hurricanes NHL team is very eager to make it happen.  I'm not sure how close it is to be considered by the league though.  Minor league baseball is pretty popular around the state - particularly the Durham Bulls.

There's something weird about the Raiders and the A's being in Vegas. Sorta like Elvis going off to Vegas and making all those lousy movies. The edgy and hip getting put into a glass case of curiosities. 

It's gotta really hurt to be a sports fan in Oakland...

Trivia question:  What professional sports franchise has the most championships in Philadelphia history?

Answer:  The Las Vegas A's (5)

It's funny, but I'm not quite sure outside of the ownership group, who is in favor of the move to LV?  I heard the Vegas natives on the Phillies (Harper and Stott) say they thought an expansion team was more appropriate for Vegas.  I would guess that Vegas likes the idea that visitors will combine a trip to see their home-town club and Vegas in one vacation/long weekend.  I don't think I'd go to Vegas in July to see the Phillies, but in May...maybe.

It's crazy. The LV market is smaller. A made-for-TV game like football, I can see it making some sense. But MLB needs butts in seats. Oakland has a great fan base potential.

It's possible they're trying to force the city to pass the stadium bill. Oakland has $0.9BN set aside for one, but if Fisher is going to own the stadium, I wouldn't do it either.

edit: Ah I just watched Manfred's announcement and it's a done deal.

MLB approves —unanimously— the move to Vegas. It still makes no sense and they're going to be without a stadium anywhere after next year. The Vegas one won't be ready until 2028.

Wow. Giants needed a manager, sounds like they didn't even talk. But if you believe managers win games, when one like Counsell hits the market, it's not surprising a team would jettison whoever's in the chair to try to get him.

Remember when he was Boston's 5th starter who just dominated when he got to the postseason? 

To be fair, though, Arizona should have led 20-nothing by the end of the 4th inning last night. Exciting and tense but not exactly a masterpiece except for the fact that he wriggled out of it.

Yup got his 2018 ring here.  Watching the game last night and did some channel surfing to find no runs scored. I was shocked. Still came up with 5 post season wins, never been done before. Surprised he didn’t get the MVP.

Back at the end of the season when I started seeing more Rangers games, it dawned on me that they had Corey Seager and I thought, man am I ever glad he's not with the Dodgers anymore.

Johnny Most looked like he sounded. I ran track with one of his kids and Johnny showed up for a meet. Stayed in his car AFAICT;  I was surprised when I walked past the car and there was Johnny. Man, he looked old and worn out. 

Here's a crappy recording of that steal by Bird.

77th best umpire in MLB (out of 92). Yes, last night's game was a disaster for the Snakes, but since the Rangers scored 10 runs with 2 outs, you have to figure that some of those missed calls resulted in runs after the inning was extended by a bad call...



Jeez, some of those calls were atrocious.

As expected, I'm more interested in the Hallmark channel right now than in baseball.  Yes...sour grapes. I'm still mad at the Phillies for folding.

That said...

I've decided to root for Arizona, solely so that they might beat Texas (ie Dallas) on Saturday night in game 7, followed by an Eagles win on Sunday afternoon.    Misery loves company.
