[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1947495, member: 748116"] And the real joke is that White Sox Owner Reinsdorf threatened to move the Sox out of Chicago in 1989 to... TAMPA BAY. Oh my, what another brilliant business decision THAT would have been on his part. The Tampa Area does not support a good team like the Rays that approaches 100 wins a year. What would they have done with the underachieiving White Sox? It seems that Western Florida just does not like baseball. Football only for them. I like the new playoff structure as it keeps baseball interest alive in more cities. And the way things are now set up... if you can't make the expanded playoffs then a team really has no reason to complain because they simply aren't good enough. When great legacy franchises like the Sox and Yankees can't make the playoffs... and the So Cal Anaheim club is not a contender... that takes three huge baseball markets out of the picture for just not being good enough ball clubs. We can start to wonder where the Rays will end up playing in a few years. Maybe even Chicago... if Reinsdorf is serious about moving the Sox to Nashville. [/QUOTE]
