MLB 2023

Well, the Rockies are 6-17 at this point in the season...as most have forecast. And for the first time in years, attendance has fallen. I hope it continues to drop, as that may finally get the owners' attention.

Be careful what you wish for. Las Vegas may give up on the As and decide to take the Rockies as their lousy baseball team instead. The As are on track for some ungodly number of losses this season. I'm not sure they are even a triple-A team.

I think you have identified the two teams competing for the bottom of the MLB league this year.

From what I hear, the prospects for Vegas as the destination are pretty solid. And the Monforts aren't going to sell the Rox any time soon; they're still a profitable team and their ball park is one of the nicest in the US on a summer afternoon.
 
The As definitely remind me of the movie Major League. They got rid of every decent player they had. I think they were trying to make sure the Oakland stadium deal would not get done.

  1. The Jays are welcoming in Seattle this weekend... @Gaolee. Should be a good series. I kinda wish the Mariners left that west coast weather at home though, it's going to rain here until next Thursday!

The Mariners are giving me agida already. So close, and yet so far. Ah, well. It should be a good one in Toronto, especially after last season.

And more bizarre glitches in the web.
 
astros lose two starters to injury on consecutive days. mccullers, brantley, and altuve still out. alvarez still not fully healthy. bregman and abreu continue their season-long struggles. tucker was hitting but is now slumping badly. the farm is depleted due to the lost draft picks from cora and beltran's 2017 fiasco. on to seattle ~

The Mariners better take advantage while they can. The Astros have had their number for quite a while now.
