Re: MLB Off-Topic

I've seen worse calls, but that's really bad.

I'm not generally a fan of expansion but for the MLB I wouldn't mind two more teams, I'm tired of interleague play every day and would love to see it go away.

That's probably why he said the Rays/A's stuff needs to get solved before expansion talks do. So they know if they have enough locations to expand to depending on if relocation happens.

I'm sure expansion will eliminate a city that both teams will use in negotiations as potential exits.

Pulling one or two off the market throws the leverage right back at the city and MLB can't have that.

The Redskins did. At least in my part of town. Most of the kids I went to elementary/middle school with had a Washington starter jacket. It wasn't as dominant a fanbase as what Atlanta has/had in Charlotte, but it was pretty strong.
