I feel for their fans...kinda reminds me of when Bud Adams moved the Oilers to Tennessee.

---

the oilers were beloved in Houston and packed the Astrodome. The As averaged 11,000 fans per game this year which is last place in MLB by far. Even the CWS averaged 6k more fans a game and they lost 120+ games. The Oakland fans quit on their team and are showing love now because it's over.

---

Fair point, I said "reminded me" of that situation. However, I bet if Bud let the team go like the A's they wouldn't pack the Dome every Sunday. We certainly weren't packing the Juice Box when the team was tanking.

---

I've looked before, Houston was dead last in home attendance their last year too. Mostly getting ~20k into a 62k seat dome. Nobody wants to support an owner actively working against you/your home.

And the A's divorce has been even longer/messier than the Oilers was. Go back before Fisher started toying with moving and they had good-decent teams and their attendance was right there with the rest of the mlb in the mid 20s.

Twins had bases loaded and no outs and only got 1 run to tie it up

I'm sure it was hilarious

I went to 5 games that year and you could sit anywhere because the dome was a ghost town.

Twins 2-15 risp. Ouch

if the Twins lose...

it takes a lot of pressure off the Tigers and Royals

both could have their aces ready for wildcard game 1

I know money drives where players end up, but Alex might want to look at where the money took George and Carlos. It took them to teams that are done by the time October rolled around. Breggy is about to play in his 8th straight playoffs. Money can't buy that.

Wow the twins are bad at bunting too

Yeah but the union guys and his agent will be in his ear telling him that if he takes less than "he is worth" to stay in Houston, he hurts other guys who need the money because his contract will be used to benchmark others. He has the option to tell his agent "work out the best deal you can get with Houston" instead of opening himself up to the free agent market, but I can't see that happening.

Who would y'all rather play? Tigers or Royals

MIN (82-77) loses 8-6 to MIA
KC (85-74) & DET (85-74) have magic no. of 1 to clinch playoff berth
Fri-Sun: KC at ATL, CWS at DET, BAL at MIN
Wild Card series:
DET-HOU if KC & DET tied
KC-HOU if 3-team tie
DET-HOU if 4-team tie including SEA (82-77)
No scenario for MIN-HOU

Royals. No hesitation.

more than likely the Astros will face the 1-2-3 of either team

the Royals-Braves are going to be rained out tomorrow -- right?

so if Baltimore beats the Twins...KC clinches before the series vs. Atlanta starts

If that happens, Atlanta might have to do back to back days if double headers. Even if they make the playoffs, their pitching will be ruined

Royals. We just had a 4 game sweep against them at home and the Tigers have been one of the hottest teams since the AS break.
