Let me ask you all this: would baseball be made better if some teams were done away with?

No, because it is fundamentally flawed by being baseball.

If you want to make baseball better, replace the bases with feet so you get football.

You mean like The Pirates, who suck to the high heavens, but have a lovely stadium?

Nope, not the Pirates (and that is a fine stadium!).

I'd look at the Marlins, Devil Rays, and Diamondbacks.

In the spirit of compromise, how about we make it legal for the shortstop to try to tackle baserunners as they pass?

I've heard about this. Has to be one of the stupidest fucking ideas I've ever heard. Before long they'll be playing baseball on Thanksgiving.

I agree, baseball is already too fuckin long, its basically on every damned day all summer. Its should be 1 game win or lose, not "yay we won.. no wait.. oops we lost.. no wait.. we won again.. ok, 3 outta 5.. no.. 4 outta 7.. no 5 outta 9" Its all bullshit. Says alot about America when our "favorite passtime" is hitting a ball with a stick and trying to run around in a circle for 2 hours. Lovely.

I'm not a Devil Rays fan, but it's still nice to have a team in St. Pete.

(PS I just found out that Carl is a good player, LOL.)
