[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1949084, member: 748116"] What I’m referencing here is that when the biggest and best baseball markets in America like Chicago, New York, So Cal Anaheim, St. Louis, and Boston do not make the playoffs... MLB suffers. You can still have interesting and spirited baseball playoff games even if it’s the smallest markets in the World Series. But the National interest level is not there and certainly not in those major markets and baseball hotbeds. The World Series is just at a different level when the baseball-passionate cities are involved. Do we really want to see The Trash Can Bangers in the Series again? And no, they are just not a baseball hotbed in H-Town. But they are the favorite team of City Maintenance and Trash Hauling Workers around the World. And thankfully, the White Sox put them in their place in 2005. Unfortunately, it’s been the Sox that have played like trash since then. [/QUOTE]
