I was just reading and watching stories about what's going on in Las Vegas and that city is crumbling. International tourism is way way down and with sports gambling being legal in so many states the lure if Vegas is not nearly as strong. Looks like the A's picked a really bad time to move to Las Vegas. I am left wondering if it's still going to happen or if they A's may look elsewhere. We know Nashville and Salt Lake City would love to have teams and the timetable for expansion keeps getting pushed back (nothing will happen until the Rays and A's have permanent locations cemented). I would love to see the A's in Vegas fall apart because John Fisher is a scumbag, but aren't most owners? You need to find a better place to get your news. Vegas down 10% goes from 1,000,000,000 to 900,000,000 Edited October 5 by VegasTiger Quote

tiger2022 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Every time I have been to Vegas there has been a bunch of people there. Hardly crumbling. Quote

Yet when I read the comments people push back. I know people who go there and say it’s pretty normal for them. Quote

Is substantial progress in the building of the stadium occurring? That’s all I’m really interested in. I doubt Vegas is going to crumble into something akin to Blade Runner 2049. Quote
1776 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 The new Rays ownership is scheduled to hold a press conference tomorrow morning. It should be very interesting. Quote

I find it hard to believe that all of these people in very high positions are being hoodwinked for some unknown purpose by Fisher. It could be my intense desire for the Tigers to come here. Substantial progress? Maybe? https://www.mlb.com/athletics/las-vegas-ballpark/construction-cam 1 Quote

I don’t have a vested interest in the failure of this project although I understand how people in Oakland must feel. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Tropicana Field’s roof is being repaired and should be finished by December, and all the repairs - with a new artificial turf, surface - should be done by April 6, 2026. https://www.fox13news.com/news/tropicana-fields-new-24-roof-panels-take-six-days-each-fully-install.amp 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Dodgers win, and Phillies screw the pooch failing in their comeback. Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Pretty amazing how much better Andrew Vaughn is playing since he was traded to the Brewers Quote

IdahoBert Posted October 7 Posted October 7 3 minutes ago, papalawrence said: I hate the Dodgers I just dislike both teams - the Dodgers less so - but the part of me that is entirely petty and envious and resentful wants the Phillies to lose because I don’t want Dombrowski’s successes to be rubbed in our faces again.

oblong Posted October 7 Posted October 7 The Phillies have increased their win total each year but have regressed in the postseason at the same time. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I can’t honestly blame DD specifically but we went from losing one World Series 4-1 to losing the next one 4–0. So there’s a pattern of sorts going on here. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 7 Posted October 7 In the second game of the series between the Cubs and the Brewers, they’re trading three run homers. What an idea, hitting a home run that counts for three runs, three whole runs. Wow that would be something. That’s like living in a dream world. 1 Quote
papalawrence Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Brewers up 2 games to 0. Counsell jumped too soon. Quote

I have always had a soft spot for the Phillies because my father was a Cardinals fan and we used to listen to Cardinals/Phillies games on the Radio when I was a kid. The Philadelphia station had a strong signal and it was one of the few stations where we could listen to Cardinal games. That was before I knew that WJR had a strong signal too. 2 Quote
oblong Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I liked the Phillies because of Mike Schmidt. Of course I rarely saw him play on TV. Then I hated them because that’s where Parrish went after he left the Tigers. Looking back of course he had to do it. Quote

The Cardinals flagship was KMOX, another 50 thousand watt powerhouse. I'm not sure if the nighttime signal reached Massachusetts though. Quote
Tiger337 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Just now, CMRivdogs said: The Cardinals flagship was KMOX, another 50 thousand watt powerhouse. I'm not sure if the nighttime signal reached Massachusetts though. We were able to pick that up occasionally, but it was never very clear. If we moved the radio in the right position we could hear games fade in and out of static. We often had to guess what was happening in the game based on the crowd noise, broadcaster intonation and timimg of commercials. Philadelphia was really strong though and Harry Kalas had such a memorable voice. 2 Quote
