I'll pull for either of those teams in a pinch. I like the way both orgs get it done. Any team that isn't from Houston, Boston, NY, or LA is a candidate for me though.
Dads had a lot of loyalty to 90's braves being on National TV and having the Maddox/Smultz/Glavin #AmericasLineup thing going for them.
The Mariners, with the resources of the Giants, have just lost my attention and I owe them nothing.
Still, it's been awhile. Maybe getting my kids into it and taking them to games is a good idea.
Exodus of middle class people the last few years.
It's a 1 pro team town where college football matters more and has for over a decade.
If they move the A's, maybe that's viable with the CA people up here, but they want them in Vegas. -
It seems like bizarre timing to attempt it. Portland is a hellhole.haie said:

Russell Wilson is bringing MLB to Portland, is what I'm hearing.

I was just saying that it's been a discussion for at least 3-5 years and started back when Portland was actually an enjoyable city to be in.DerekJohnson said:

The fact that it's still going is pretty sad. Portland Pickles franchise is all they deserve. -

More pressing is who will be the M's manager next year? I don't see Servais rallying this year.

Seems like there has been talk if MLB coming to Portland since I was a kid. There was a time, maybe 15ish years ago (thinking it was around the time we'd take little leaguers to Beavers games), where it seemed to have some momentum. The problem was that Portland wouldn't build a stadium and wanted to use the old Civic Stadium downtown. That would've worked ok if you were content with 5000 average attendance.DerekJohnson said:

Honestly don't see why there couldn't be a MLB team aside from the issue of a venue. Every city is a shit hole. It's strange to read statements disqualifying Portland when baseball thrives throughout the rust belt (or south Seattle for that matter). There's plenty of space to build an easily accessible stadium where the shittiness isn't even visible. That's not remotely realistic, but I've always thought that's all it would take.
Someone with a lot of money and motivation just needs to step up. I vote for @haie . -
The Portland ownership group thought they'd get the Rays. Obviously not happening now.chuck said:
