I'd say Chicago might qualify.

Can't argue with it.
To be honest, I think Pittsburgh is a great historical baseball town at its heart. But, the Steelers are definitely king now.
Ratings are great, though.
I have every right to be salty when a former drug addict and murderer who still gets paid millions of dollars a year to play baseball in Los Angeles has the nerve to call me spoiled for expecting him to give one-half of an ounce of effort in trying to catch a routine fly ball.

The 'murderer' thing always is good for a chuckle from me.

Come on Branduil.
That was manslaughter at worst.

WTF? Was he still a "murderer" to you when he played for Texas?
Best starting pitcher I've ever seen right there folks.

Hamilton has a point though, and the fact that Branduil has the nerve to say anything about him makes it more hilarious.
You forgot Marlon Byrd and Colin Coghwill!
We are saved.
I think you forgot that the mets are the mets.

How much of that is just in his neck and head?

Still were in the WC hunt until the pitching fell apart post-ASB.
Huh. Mets falling apart post All Star Break. Haven't heard that one before.

Considering they shouldn't have even competed? I'll take it, gotta enjoy that ride.
Again, mid-2013 into 2014 was the target date when the team was supposed to be able to open the wallet. It's already been said if Mets are in a similar situation to last year (in the WC hunt), moves will be made. Not to mention D'Arnaud and Wheeler coming up sometime this year, healthier Ike Davis and improved Tejada/Murphy. No way the pen will be as bad as last year
as long as Parnell never closes
Yeah, I'm just messing around. I think the Mets are heading in the right direction. Slowly, but they're getting there.

Pirates are extending Hurdle?
I was too busy believing the Phillies were a shoe-in for the world series in mid-august. What a weird month that was.

Stop being salty Enron.

... on what planet? Everyone knew Mets weren't spending due to Madoff situation and ownership flux. If you re-read last year's thread (which I started to do today), I was like the last guy to but into the Mets competing, and of course it started during the fateful 3-game trip in Washington.
Nationals looking to make a bigtime upgrade.

This part:
Is true, but KC does care about the Royals a hell of a lot, especially considering they've been lousy for 30 years. The park seats 40k and even when it's 103 degrees in late August and they're 20 games back, there'll still be 20k at the game, which is well more than the Rays get during home playoff games, haha. If the Royals ever make it to the playoffs again, this city will go berserk for them.
I mean, what else do they have to do?
But, Dallas is totally a front running city. If the Rangers continue to be successful and the Jerry Jones stays alive for like 10 more years, then I could see it flipping from Football to Baseball.
They have google fiber, what else do they need?

There are bars in KC too, Sanjuro.
Which is always enhanced by having a ballgame on. Sports pubs are always better when some people actually give a shit.

Only 60 yesterday with a ice expected Thursday.

There's quite a bit to do. The bad part about St. Louis is that the stuff to do is kind of spread out. Just avoid East St. Louis (not that you'll be going across the river anyway), and North St. Louis.
I'm assuming you're coming into town for a Cardinals game. There's a few bars around the ballpark that are pretty packed after the games. I'd head down to Washington Street, and hang out there. Lots of bars, and open patios.
The Landing on the riverfront has some decent restaurants.
Delmar Loop has Fitz's bottleworks, Vintage Vinyl, and some other shops that are pretty good. The Pageant is also there, one of the best venues to see music.
The Zoo is fun, and its free.
Just to be forwarned, summers here flat out suck. I'm used to them from living here all my life, but its very high humidity. Ever wear a sweater in the heat? Its about like that.
