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?
