Do you think baseball would be better without the pirates,devil rays,royals, and the rockies?
Question:I do I think it would eliminate the winning owners and fans of those teams. the owners knew what they were getting into when they bought their teams, they should stop complaining and they should know how to get the most of what they have.

In a Hall of Fame Fantasy Baseball draft. Who would you take with the 1st pick?
I agree with those who say that Pittsburgh has way too much history to be disguarded. I live in Florida and I can tell you that this is not a baseball state. Tampa Bay would be better served if they looked for a new location. South Jersey would be a great place for a major league franchise. Colorado is a football state just like Florida. The Rockies would never be missed. The Royals compete with the Cardinals and that's a losing situation. Ever since George Brett retired there has been little if any interest in Royals baseball. You might want to add Washington to your list. For the umpteenth time baseball has tried to force the game down the throats of the people in DC and for the umpteenth time it's not working. Very interesting question.What's your prediction for Clemens' stat line in his first game back with the Yankees?
Pirates are too historically significant. Rockies actually have a good young core coming up. Devil Rays are going to eventually be good as well. Royals, that is a tough one. Marlins are the least attended team in MLB.Who is the best White Sox player his year?
I would agree with all except the Rockies. Players without much power need a place where the can hit home runs too!!Will Bonds make it into the hall of fame.?
I'd ditch the Yankees.I would so no cuz then the other teams would be bogged down with talent. There is definetly enough talent to field 30 teams. Maybe a cap would help the best to equal out these teams like the other major sports.
Can the dodgers get to world series?
No way. Young players need a place to start and these teams provided that. For example if Jim Thome was still in philly then we would have not ever seen Rya Howard but if Ryan Howard was in the Royals Farm system he would have made his start much soonerAside from past winners, Who do you think could be the next 40/40 man?
Hey some of us actually like the Rockies. Of course if I go to another game in which they lose in 18 innings I will throw them out of the league myself.Name 4 batters that will hit a homer tonight?
No, where would all the other teams get their players if those teams weren't around... :)So, I guess any time a team goes through a losing stretch, we just eliminate the team?
That's moronic.
First of all, I think it is unfair to remove ANY team that has ever won the World Series. Royals have won, Pirates have won 5 (and also played in 2 very historic ones...their 1927 team was one of the best ever but is forgotten b/c they played against Murderer's Row, the BEST team ever, and they also played in the first one ever), and the Marlins have won 2. Off the top of my head, I don't know about the Royals, but the Pirates also still have a winning record overall for the franchise (baseball-reference.com), so there's another reason you can't say they are unsuccessful.
How about we elminate the whining owners and fans of the Dodgers, Yankees, Angels, Red Sox, Mets, who won't stop whining about people pointing out the disparity of payrolls in baseball, and how it leads to an unfair playing field?
Moron.
When was the longest game in Major League Baseball History? How many innings?
The Royals and Pirates dominated the 70's and 80's for the most part. So you want to start whacking two historic franchises like that?Baseball is starting to fix some things with revenue sharing, but there is still a ways to go. Anyone who says 120-200 Mil payrolls compared to 45-60 is fair is kidding themselves. Instead of whacking some of baseballs better historically franchises how about look at more ways to even the competitive playing field.
What exactly is a bench coach in baseball?
The issue of contraction is dead. Deal with having the mentioned teams around. The players union will have non of contraction because less teams means less jobs for the players. Enough said.Look at the bright side, at least your team will have guaranteed wins when they play those bottome feeders.
Astros roster changes, any suggestions?
BOOOOOOOO. All I have to say is that I'm a Royals fan and I don't whine about it. We're a bad team, somebody has to be.GO ROYALS!!!
