Non-marginal Rays fan here. No. MLB’s not gonna kiss off the #12 tee vee market for a failed Canadian market. It’ll get worked out in Tampa Bay. Pinellas county is flush with cash, growing exponentially, and the land the Trop is on is worth millions. The Rays just bought a minor league soccer team that plays downtown…

Yes, Danno, there are.  Don’t be a dick. 

No it’s not. It’s just over half as big. And it’s in a Canadian TV market, not a US Market.  MLB is not gonna drop the 12th largest US Market for a 30k seat stadium in an already failed Canadian baseball market. Rays are just negotiating with Pinellas County for a new stadium, which they will eventually get. 

I could have written this myself, except now after 6 years of D1 college soccer (2 players) and the who-knows-how many years getting there, I can honestly say I don’t miss it. Wouldn’t change a thing, but don’t miss it.

In Tennessee we call Sunday “DWI Day.” Rather than buy your hooch at a store totally sober and go home and drink it with the wife till you pass out, you have to go to a bar, get drunk, and then drive home. Cause, you know, Sunday is special.
