MistaNova:
Hey remedy I've got another M's question for you.
Do you see Jack Z and Eric Wedge still being with the team next year? Do you think the owners will give them more time to show that their rebuilding process is actually working or will they cut them sooner?
MistaNova:
I was right, this thread did die a little.
Okay, it's finally September. The playoff races are on, here's what the races look like (to me at least).
AL:
*The Boston Red Sox are in first place in the AL East
*The Detroit Tigers are in first place in the AL Central
*The Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers are fighting for first place in the AL West
*The Baltimore Orioles, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians are still in the WC conversation
*Stick a fork in the Royals and everybody else not named yet, they're all done
NL:
*The Atlanta Braves are in first place in the NL East
*The NL Central is crazy as fuck as the Pirates, Cardinals and Reds are fighting for first place on a daily basis
*The Los Angeles Dodgers wins the NL West because everyone else in that division is terrible
*It's looking like the NL Wild Cards will go to two of the three NL Central teams that didn't win the division
*Regardless of what you may read or hear the Washington Nationals are done
*The Arizona Diamondbacks suck
*The Pirates will win the World Series!

Yeah the braves are 1st place in the nl or whole mlbt but still has near half empty stadiums. Sickening that atlanta & miami needs 2 be in every sport but don't sellout & support their teams. Even when they're good.
And this I never saw coming in mlb.

Wonder if this is a test to see if people in montreal still like mlb. I feel that they shouldn't cause the strike in 94 killed baseball there, then Loria & maybe someone else finished them off in 95. Players wanted 2 bypass extra dollars to win, but management had other ideas. Cause they blew out the braves in the division in 94. Fire sale.
MistaNova:
Personally I don't think baseball returning to Montreal wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe not major league baseball but Minor League Baseball. I'm sure the Jays affiliate based on Vegas (which is where pitchers go to die basically) wouldn't mind leaving. Gives Canada another team to root for as well.
But man did Loria really screw them up by pimping the system to get more money.

Oh I have little doubt that Minor League baseball would do fine, if you look around the US you can find minor league teams in second-rate cities all over the place in terms of size. If possible, I'd like to see an MLB team back there, it's not like they were never successful in terms of fan-support. Hard to say how it would be received presently though.
