Or dangerous poles sitting on a ramp directly in center field (Astros Stadium, former Enron )? <BR/><BR/>Get rid of all the extra attraction/distractions from the stadiums like the train in Houston (except, of course, Bernie the Brewer going down the slide & the sausage race in the seventh inning). <BR/><BR/>Or maybe blow up stadiums (Rangers) that look like rip-off jobs of other stadiums? Whoever designed that one must've put in the low bid & when they received the job said, "Holy shit, we actually have to come up with an idea? Um, let's just copy everybody else." (And how the hell did they not put in a retractable roof? Ever hung out in Dallas in mid-July/early-August? Who were these architectural morons?! Even the Cowboys have a near-dome stadium.) <BR/><BR/>As for expansion, you gotta put a team in a city that actually gives a crap about baseball. Did MLB not look at population trends fifteen years ago in Florida & Tampa Bay & not think "hey, you know, these two areas might become overrun with retirees someday." And then just ignored the data & said, "Aw, screw it...let's just give 'em a team anyway." <BR/><BR/>GIve a team to Buffalo...lord knows those people need something to get them through the warmer months. <BR/><BR/>And with doctoring baseballs, I think there should be an entire season dedicated to wearing classic/retro uniforms that happens every five years or so (who doesn't want to see the old classic Padres or Brewers uni's every five years).<BR/><BR/>Put these into effect McBone!<BR/><BR/>kbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-82806911344062852152008-06-18T13:05:00.000-05:002008-06-18T13:05:00.000-05:00Interleague play DID give us the highly anticipate...Interleague play DID give us the highly anticipated Rockies/Indians matchup. Result? Rain. But it was fun nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you support a retractable roof, as Phoenix and Seattle (among others) would have no baseball otherwise. (Well, Tucson has a minor league team, but sitting in the midday sun is an endurance test for players and fans alike.)<BR/><BR/>I wish everyone could watch major league baseball in person, but I agree with stopping expansion. Both Florida's teams are reason enough to end the maddness.Kid Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475696121551202158noreply@blogger.com
