I remember when the league had to step in and “encourage” the Pittsburgh Pirates to start spending that sweet TV revenue. You’d think teams would want to be good.

Nope. I’m an L.A. guy. Going to a game in Denver is a bucket list thing.
Sadly, I don’t drink beer at the ravine any more. Can’t afford it. Back in the day we could go to the game, sit in the top deck, and drink our fill on a $20.00 bill. Been a regular since the seventies.
A Maddux! Not very common these days.
Last night the Jays thumped the Red Sox at Fenway. 9-0. The Jays hitters combined for 16 hits, 7 walks, and only 2 punch outs. Lots of great at bats. Berrios was dealing too. 7 IP and 8 strikeouts with only 1 walk allowed. Hope they win another one today.
Two days in a row the losing team let a position player pitch the final inning 
Maybe tomorrow will be a pitcher’s duel!
Shock of all shocks! The Angels are at .500.
Dodgers wasted a decent start by Ohtani that included a four seamer clocked at 101.7 in a loss to the Royals last night.

Yep.Have y'all noticed what the Rays are doing lately?

Of course the Sac stadium where the A’s play only has about 10,500 permanent seats. Very sad.
Yup. The stadium was run down but John Fisher didn't like Oakland so he played games for years as it became even more run down. Self-fufillment at the expense of Oakland and especially the fans. I love the A's but cannot abide by Fisher.
The Sac Stadium is nice as minor league parks go. It’s a fun place to take in a game. They are getting good attendance, all things considered.
Dodgers will play there next year. We’ll be all over trying to get tickets.
Get your tickets earlier in the season next year. You do NOT want to be sitting in the sun with Sacramento's 100+ heat (emphasis on +). As far as this season is concerned there is no chance our family will go to an A's home game. The heat is just too unreasonable for us until maaaaybe late September.
Wussy? Yup. I grew up there. I did my time.
I fully understand. I lived there ‘83 to ‘86. And part time from ‘15 to ‘18. I’ve been in Bako since ‘86. Crazy? Yup.
Bad things come in threes. The Cards should bounce back now.
The Jays completed a four-game sweep of the Yanks last night. Woohoo! These wins allowed them to overtake NY in the AL East standings. It's only a one game lead over NY and Tampa, but still. First place! They have not been in first place in the division this late into the season in years.
Something is definitely different about the Jays lately. They're scoring more runs, hitting for power, and never really feel like they can't come back if they get down. They're putting up stubborn and tenacious at-bats up and down the lineup. It's a stark difference from the last couple years and even earlier this season. I really hope they can keep up this level of play.

They're going to have to go crazy in the last 4 innings.
