Which of these States will get a team First?

 I’ll put my answer in the comments later.

Flashback to 1945 MLB Multi-Team Meccas

 NYC, Chicago and LA today. 

Yankees were with the Dodgers and Giants.

But did you know St. Louis was rocking two at once? The Athletics bounced from Philly to Kansas City before the Oakland to Las Vegas hop.

Barnstorm Baseball “Home” Team Bananas

 The traveling baseball show of Savannah Bananas is expanding teams.  Drum roll: 

Indianapolis Clowns

Loco Beach is multi-towned, Foxboro, Mass and Orlando among them.

Megabrands?

 Brands are on their own. 

Do St. Louis peops root for LA? I doubt it. Maybe some transient black Israelites do. They always have.

If the Bengals vacated Cincinnati and moved to Louisville, well ...  a lot of big Bengal fans might, and proximity helps. But Bengal nation would barely grow.

Let me guess.

Off the top of my noggin: 

Raiders

                                        

Los Angeles. Oakland. Las Vegas. San Antonio surely would've taken them. I feel even though Texas is far from the original spot, Raider nation is a brand that stays stuck to the dude 

 Portland wishes

...they didn't puff tran knee pipe.

Cowtoys?

Lakers? 

Yankees. 

That’s it right?  Were it not for the economic reality of moving for better job pay and opportunity I would take shot at all the ppl from NY or LA that move far for good job.

MLB Wildcard Relocates

Attendance problems aren’t death knells for baseball markets, but teams like the White Sox, already in Cubbieland, and those Florida teams could spread to thirstier markets, and making expansion prospects in decades to come more interesting.

As MLB dictator, I’d make way for the Carolina White Sox 

I’d free up the Rays for Nashville.

Make the Marlins Florida again. Bounce around towns down there.

Have the Angels be California again. Show Sacramento some love.

I think this takes care of a baseball for a long while. Over the years, I’ve fallen out of favor for Portland and Montreal.

Las Vegas Athletics, but what could they be in the interim?

 No matter what, the fans can show up in whatever homejob t-shirts and tell lawyers to piss off.

So, if Sacramento has a bigger market in terms of television and TV market eyeballs, how will they bolster their case for expansion if they show out and show up for hosting the Athletics while it takes years to get the ballfield built in Vegas.

Does the Capitol of California deserve shit for having too many ghetto dumbdumb voters and vein villain dicktasters, I mean dictators ?

Will fans wear Sacramento A’s shirts. Will they wear Utah Athletics hats?

I Got your NFL Minor League

 And it’s not XFL USFL. It shouldn’t be NCAA or NAACP gaslighting Noah or the arc.

So, the XFL played all the games in Birmingham, right? Legit question from me actually, but anyway. Didn’t seem like a need for repping a city, state or territory.

Why not a brand. It’s getting that way for all the sports anyway. Skip to it. For all the sports why not just do my Cincinnati Mercy Healths and Cincinnati Krogerses? Why flippin not. Sponsored by Human Services.

So, yeah. Do the Coca Colas in Atlanta for a minor league team in Atlanta. Do them all in Atlanta if need be. Dr. Peppers rivaling Coke or Mt. Dew. The NIL deals have shown all the illiterate ass.

Do games around tents on county fairgrounds. Let’s just not do more double negative 14th grade retardation on college fields.

Okay, okay, I’ll lighten up. Cincinnati Bang Gulls take on some Green Bay Backers. Or some Los Angeles Ma’ams v. Philly Beagles.

New Triple-A Club: the Bay-Bay Illegal Aliens in Oakland

 I could probably also argue the Las Vegas Aviators/51s remain in place for the big club. It probably won’t, but I don’t know, don’t care. Personally, I would go for the Golden Gate Steinles in memory of Kate Steinle, but I believe the Oakland Illegal Aliens would have a better chance. Or maybe the Alemeda County Sizzurps. Oakland Aviation? The ShortHops?

Nevada Magazine

Oakland is Ghetto. Lost the Big Four in ghetto half century

 It’s a sex trafficketed monkeyhole, and like Portland isn’t that much of an American city anymore.

Las Vegas is a resort. In not too terribly long, it seems they will be the Coca-Cola Athletics, and maybe you’ll choose to root for the Kellogg Tigers and your son will love the the Gucci Mets. Maybe your daughter will like the Disney Marlins or Mickeys.

Too many third worlders in a place amounts to a third world place

Milwaukee, let the Brewers Leave

Have respect for yourselves. I mean, you’re an NBA town that heads up to the lake for the weekend for the Sunday football.

Let Nashville be the Brew Crew.

Expansion could then be more for Montreal and Charlotte. Portland has the CHAZ Trailblazers, so they don’t need MLB ever. Vegas would still be a road team as a home team. And maybe Quebec can go eff itself and Austin tout Cattlemen Baseball. Good Lord, would Central Texas Trucking be a badass brand?

Teams of the XFL

 After celebration of the first black vs half-black QBs for a Souper Bowl showdown, people wanting to watch football can toon or tune into the XFL.

Here are the teams ( https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-many-teams-are-in-the-xfl/)

• Arlington Renegades
• DC Defenders
• Houston Roughnecks
• Orlando Guardians
• San Antonio Brahmas
• Seattle Sea Dragons
• St. Louis Battlehawks
• Vegas Vipers

Seattle and St. Louis seem to be islands in a regionalsssss league, upon scoping the map.

Ohio Aviation, the Next Ohio NBA franchise

 And yes, spread the love.

Cleveland is taken care of, and for all intents and purposes, especially when side-by-sided to Cincinnati, could be in another state anyway. Shots fired!

Columbus and Cinci are obvious choices as landing spots, Dayton and Toledo slightly less so, but no less important. 

Preseason, which spans less than 3 weeks, in my opinion and imagination, should take place in Toledo. Holy Toledo. Regular season games should cater to the Cincinnati/Dayton and Columbus markets. Exhibitions can also be played around year to year in the likes of Youngstown to Athens to Portsmouth or Chillicothe.

I would love for there to be a Columbus Fieldhouse if some situation the hockey’s Nationwide isn’t doable. 20 regular season games there, and in Middletown (between Cinci and Dayton) would plant quite a nice flag.  Plus, as some sort of compromise to ownership groups wanted everything seemingly completely floated by the taxpayer, multi-venue facilities justify the facts more than does the contemporary situations of the bill footed in the likes of Hamilton County Ohio and the NFL Bengals.

Logo-istically, in addition to multinodal home/camp play, I envision a multi-logo Ohio Aviation brand. The military’s Space Force has snagged the Star Trek, but the “A” with a swoop around dogfighting jet would be nice for the Aces of Aviation. Bomber pre-warm up jackets (individualized). Star fleet fan section. Let your mind take flight on the array logos, perhaps smaller venues, and surrounding entertainment districts, and more inclusive fan buy-in. Flirt it out with a D-G—O or whatever developmental team.

NFL in Europe

https://thespun.com/nfl/roger-goodell-hints-at-major-nfl-expansion 

Commish said he thinks two London teams. Where else for another two in Europe? Perhaps Berlin and Barceloma?

Next Triple-A cities?

If Charlotte gets a MLB team, will the Knights who are housed there now move? Houston and Atlanta are among metro areas that keep their TripA team very close. What I'd like to have seen as of yesterday would've been swapping places with the Rays for some Carolina Rays. 

As you glance over the map, you might spy Witchita and Portland in waiting for bigger time. Perhaps a Birmingham or San Antonio promotion or more for Boise. Why I wish something in the big leagues for Tennessee Sounds in splitting time between Memephis and Nashville is that their TripA team could be housed in those same cities if not the very same spots as the top club, sometimes even at the same time, perhaps showcased in double-header form. Let the Cardinals find their new AAA spot, like to Little Rock or Evansville. 

Even though Texas turf is vied for at the highest level, if a farm club is put somewhere more federal near a big military installation, like in Fort Hood TX with a city of over 100k people adjacent to the base, a nifty crowd hailing from across the land of Americana can assemble. I'm not sure if the discussion then should be more for those places being a Double-A squadron or High-A, but it could be a good transplant crowd of transient Americans. While I love minor league teams close to the MLB clubhouse, places like Arizona and Florida are inundated with MiLB play. 

So, lets say Vegas gets MLB. They could then have Reno, and the Diamondbacks could root up into Killeen, Texas. For the Expos again, the thing probably becomes more no-brainer with a team in Quebec City or Ottawa. If big time Vancouver, ya' have choices in an Alberta brand... or even by a port in Alaska or a foreign place like Portland. 

 What do you got for this? I've played some minor league city shuffle at each MiLB level on some previous blog posts. Indianapolis has been vacant from MLB discussion for awhile it seems. IndyStar:

Nashville, Las Vegas and Oakland

And I didnt say Portland at all.

America hates Portland. It's a Soviet shithole. Realistically, sure, a majority of people from there are biz as usual, just living their lives (and letting it happen). Nontheless, too bad so sad. Oakland, Im glad you havent caved to the rich assholes by taxfunding them a colliseum. But youre still a nappy marxist sex trafficking monkey place. Las Vegas may be the same, just smeared in perfume, and it's too early in their history for them to sport a team unless they became a West Coast A's brand, splitting time with the Bay. Nashville, Charlotte and Montreal have stand-alone cases, but Im still a fan of a 40 home-camp games in two places. A Tennesse Sounds or Athletics team in Memphis and Nashville would be awesome. Id even like to see the Carolina collaboration of Southland Sounds hubbed in Nashville and Charlotte, dabbling in New Orleans and Memphis from time to time for that Americana feel, and an end to a Braves monopoly, filling major gap in real estate. If I had to pick just one, many of us lean Nashville. Montreal and Vancouver should share, and I've talked North Country 'Jacks before. What do you think?

Elbowball all year. USFL map gap chat

 Take a look at some of these Reddit maps

What do you scope for yourself on a USFL map?

Leaves a lot to laughs and a lot to some better future filling in.  My compliments to Alabama in having portal pros outside of the Crimson Tide.  And the whole inaugural season for all the teams is played in Bama.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Football_League_(2022)

Houston, New Orleans, Tampa and Birmingham form half the teams.

The other half is comprised of Michigan, New Jersey and the two cities in Pennsylvania of Pitt and Philly.  Not sure the western half of the country is Houston Gambler Nation.

I’m all for wider representation.  Ohio Aviators, …even if a lot of the team may very well be half literate ghettoids from not-Ohio. Time for some Kentucky Downs.  Oklahoma Oilers. Utah Hawks. Oregon Trucking.  Nebraska Farmers. Midwest Fishing based outta’ wherever,….multiple nodes, as talked about on this blog time and time again.  Apparel and branding big misses still exist by the leagues, especially for people who could care less about the team sports, but would wear a Road Warriors shirt.  Detroit Diesel. Austin Bike Club. New Mexico Posse. On and on.

Tennessee v. Carolina Baseball, MLB. We have a Dream

I’m looking forward to the likelihood college baseball will be elevated over MLB viewership.  But I’m talking about MLB in Nashville and Memphis over Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, both markets about 250 miles away from Hotlanta.

Yes, baseball shot down a two-place team, and maybe it wasn’t the right fit in the form of Montreal and Tampa.  But the Florida Marlins should be reborn as a two place team at St.Pete and Miami, freeing up a franchise a la Rays to Charlotte, and MLB can expand to Montreal/Vancouver and Nashville/Memphis.  I think both the Tennessee and Carolina big brands of baseball can play in new 25k seat stadiums in the era of the TV being more lucrative than ticket.  And they should share time with a nice minor league park, like in Memphis and Raleigh.  Smaller, more romantic and right-sized parks and more hearts grown fonder.  Charlotte has MiLB cheerleaders. So does Nashville.

Montreal Devils and the Tampa Rays

 Or just rebrand the team the Travelers and set a barnstorm format with other places as camp-homes. Or should this concept with Montreal just tag Vancouver into the fold?  I’ve bespoke it before, the North Country Lumberjacks, the ‘Jacks.  Or Coasties Coasters, Travs, whatever.  Different time zones for the fans.  A different kind of jackin at night.

The Time-share, sister city, split city concept, whatever snowbirdish stadium hopping it would officially be called, got rejected as a headache for the league.

As far as Tropicana Field’s worthiness, I’m sure every opinion is correct -and I mean that… not sarcastic at all.  The stadium works.  It’s fine.  Play ball.   Is it the cheapest or most efficient upkeep?  Probably not.  But building a new one initially isn’t gangbusters for the environment either.  Long run, it’s a biz that wants to maximize profit like maintenance, including leveraging money out of the taxpayers’ pockets (subsidies).  Speaking of big biz control, fuck, of course proverbially speaking with nothing necessarily in reference to sexual orientation or failed culturism, fuck that commie culled Zuckerberg and his fag natsie private choice against free speech.  He’s a social retard.

Dual City team of Montreal and Tampa Rays SHOT DOWN by MLB

Geographically, it’s a weird fit.  I’ve been saying for a long time the lack of butts in Florida seats, both at the Marlins and Rays games,calls for a Florida Marlins again, splitting time between Miami and Tampa Bay.  A smaller place around St. Pete, or really a smaller place at both sites could be more picturesque.

Map Gaps in MiLB major league affiliates

When looking at this gorgeously convenient Wikipedia supplied map of the MLB minor league landscape, some gaps jump out.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_League_Baseball

Even though Wikipedia acted like a non wiener-chop transvestite by making it hard to have a clean image, it’s their image.

To me, it’s Colorado Springs and Boise.  I’d like the Wyoming Truckers in Cheyenne.  Baseball back in Montana would be very un-sad.

The triangle side of Boise to Colorado Springs is the better part of 900 miles.  The Colorado Springs to Billings side, which runs through Cheyenne is about 620 mi.

Places like Boise and Billings are covered thanks to the independent Pioneer League, but even still that organization is an MLB partner, like a side piece.  But honestly, it’s good that pro players have a place to land.  With the official minor league draw-drawn (contraction), I’m curious if more dudes will opt for college ball.

What do you think?

Should the Athletics go to Las Vegas or Nashville?

 Or maybe even Portland or Charlotte?  

That’s an easy no for Portland.  Portland might as well be in California, and not even in America anymore.

If it’s going to go east, Nashville seems better magnetized and growing.

Austin or San Antonio seem like a good Central Texas wild card. Maybe so for Sacramento too.

Las Vegas already has enough abrupt newness to chew on in the form of Golden Knights and Raiders.  But out of all options I’d stick to my original want of the West Coast A’s splitting time between Oakland and Vegas.  I respect a taxpayers stance on not funding pro sports houses.  Though I have to admit, Nashville wouldn’t crush me if it happened.  The Bay is crowded with teams and crappy politics.

American Empire needs Change

I say pitch them in the trash to Canada.

Muppethead Football League may expand to St. Louis, but then where else?

It seems as though pro elbow hand ball is about to get their ovaryballs sued the hell off by the shitty of Santos Louey for leaving to LaLa land.

San Diego is a good candidate to balance the league out in expansion.

Portland cannot. It is in the USSR.

San Antonio is candidate worthy.

So is Louisville.  And I’ve talked about Canadian Power before

But yeah, just move the Jaguars there, even if it’s ghettoer, …well especially if it’s ghettoer.

Cspan in the Sports cancels viewership

 It doesn’t usher nerds in.  FC Cincinnati, doesn’t ban the music, it instead set a separate rule for a European in America.  So, before their first MLS kick, I’m gone forever.  Add up all of the other sports kneeling in surrender to some supposed “white flag”, I’m out, big openings in my schedule for time to come.

Imagine some Tennessee Sounds taking on some sort of Carolina Mountaineers MLB

Let's hope sports like baseball drop the Lying Lives movements, so we can be Americans again.

Is baseball for the likes of Charlotte on the horizon?  Does a franchise from Nashville AND/OR Memphis sound good as the Music City Mountains, or perhaps the Tennessee Sounds ?

We've all given up on soy boy Portland.  It's little more than a USSR embassy.  It's little more than an emo furby pony play campout.  I used to be all up on the coasts boasting more baseball.  But now, to hell with Oregon.  Nashville first.  Oregon never, a chaotically gay Mayberry.

Is Rooting for Two Teams better for one's health ??? .... Pretend Wisconsin for instance

Green Bay, which is the state's third largest city, doesn't sustain the Green Bay Packers franchise with just Green Baybians or even Greater Green Babyians.   It no doubt breathes on Milwaukee with a substantial dose of Madison.  Considering the weekly occurrence of American football for a portion of the year, we can all figure that Wisconsin could have another NFL team coexist with the likes of Milwaukee.  

sliced from cdn.chatsports

Of course NFL expansion has its eye set on other markets, some more substantial than hugging the drawn line between Packers and Bears.  And the bigger question would be if there'd be another Chicagoland franchise before a standalone Wisconsin or just Milwaukee one.

Nonetheless, as a Milwaukian, or Madisonian, or Appletonian, or Waukeshan, ....wouldn't it be better for their health to have a backup to root for on a down 'Backer year?  A backerupper would be nice.  Call them the Wisconsin What?  Warriors, Whoppers, with obvious sponsor?  We will let logos on jerseys soon.  We're pushovers and we will allow it.  I mean, I won't be watching the blight power league by then, but whatevs'.

As a Bengalian, sorry, but my backup isn't a Brownie.  So, if it ever happened for me I'd like an Ohio-named team, if ever a franchise were to land in Columbus.

More Minor Leagues for the Leagues PLEASE !!!

 

Wikipedia: Des Moines

It would be a shame for overall minor league contraction.  It has more affordable seats, and a more Americana feel.  The NFL needs a minor league instead of a bunch of half-literate childbrained strung-out congoheads inexcusability gunking up academic grounds.  Farm systems are getting aesthetically, and many times, geographically more coherent.  If in Iowa, you are closer to the big league Cubs to the east, and the Wild and Timberwolves to the north.  It makes teams from Minnesota and Chicago more regionally/geographically palatable.  

We should see expansion, not contraction, of the minor leagues.  Baseball had the good thing going for the longest time.  Now they're cutting back on inhouse bulk development.  MLB/MiLB will argue quality not quantity.  But it might just come off as some Lean Sigma Six stuff.  Perhaps this will boost college ball, which I'm for,.... as long as it isn't some 16th grade bs scam.  The NBA got woke to the development and affiliation.  Unfortunately, the NBA is a slut with some NCAA agreement that patronizes higher learning of the 13th thru 16th grade.  I don't want baseball to be as embarrassing as football and basketball.  

Perhaps we can have an Iowa Bears in some minor league football soon ???  That'll probably translate into more hometown kids getting educated closer to home.  Root for it.  Let's try to stay away from mercenary big league ball as much as possible.  Let them be barnstormers.

Canada's NBA Champs to Join Kentucky Fried Chicken League ???

 

If the Raptors can't play in Canada per the ebonic plague, ...or rather Kung Flu, just like the Buffalo Blue Jays 2020, the Raptors could go to Louisville temporarily.  Well, in theory.

And with the Minor League HQ moving to the Big Apple there's a heavy loss in the feel of Americana with America's pastime.
