People were v mad.

Morton Salt Girl

I think the players would hate Mexico City's air almost as much as the travel.

Paul Swydan

9:40

Blah blah blah.

Joe Buck Fucks

9:40

what about las vegas

Paul Swydan

9:40

What about it?

Of all the cities you guys have mentioned, the biggest city without a team would be Austin.

Nick R

9:40

What about Nashville

Paul Swydan

9:40

What about it?

Kalamazoo Jake

9:40

when is expansion gonna happen?

Paul Swydan

9:40

5 years?

Bert Campaneris

9:41

The Carolinas should have ended with a higher bid on this expansion talk. May not produce the revenue that Mexico City or Montreal could eventually bring, but it has to be somewhere close to Portland. In addition to having ready available infrastructure. What says you, Paul?

Paul Swydan

9:41

Too much minor league ball in the Carolinas, it'll never happen.

9:41

How do you think the altitude of a Mexico City field would be curbed, a domed stadium or a super big field?

Paul Swydan

9:41

Wow guess super big and domed.

Come on, you wanted Keuchel to do better than a loopy single and a slow roller to second?

9:42

Seems like a quick hook to me.

Section329

9:42

How has MLBPA lost power?

Paul Swydan

9:42

Maybe you haven't analyzed the most recent CBA...

ChatzMcGee

9:42

What kind of good Bostonian doesn’t follow the Bruins? A bad one.

Paul Swydan

9:43

What kind of Bostonian supports a crook like Jeremy Jacobs? A bad one.

hscer

9:43

we might be headed for our first truly "bad" game of the series

Joe

9:43

Terrible route by Gonzalez there.

Brian

9:43

wow that looked catchable!!!

Fuzzy

9:43

Man, Marwin is lousy.

Morton Salt Girl

9:43

That was a pretty lazy path to the ball

Show Hey O’Tawny

9:43

Why college hockey and not NHL?

Paul Swydan

9:43

Because there are no fights in college hockey, and because it is the only sport my school - BU - is good at.

Canyonero Driver

9:43

Gonzalez was just trying to avoid kicking the ball a la Schwarber.

Jaime

9:44

Couldn't MLB put a team in San Juan in an effort to help develop the city/country? Whenever teams ask for primo downtown land for a new stadium, the arguments always revitalization.

Paul Swydan

9:44

Yup.

Lyle

9:44

Girardi is going to pull a Francona. Go on ESPN for one season and take the available gig of his choice the following season.

Elie from LA

9:44

Mexico City would be incredible to play in. Some of the best food in the world there.

Paul Swydan

9:44

Thanks Elie.

Kalamazoo Jake

9:44

New Orleans?

Paul Swydan

9:45

Too humid, downtown is already built up.

Saints play literally in the bayou. No thanks.

Shunpiker

9:45

Mexico City could build a pressurized air-filtered stadium.

CamdenWarehouse

9:45

Is there any chance we have expansion without playoff expansion? 1/3 of the teams in the playoffs is already too much

Paul Swydan

9:45

Yeah I think that's a possibility. But I won't be surprised if they expand.

When's my pizza getting here

9:46

Is there a 'need' for expansion? Or is this partly..."Look at me, I'm commissioner-ing"
