    Either way, it doesn't seem like the choice will be that hard.

    Quick everybody acknowledge it!

    Está bien. ¿Por que no los dos? Although I sort of take exception to the idea that "much of Mexico City is third world." Are there a lot of people in poverty? Yes. It's a city twice the size of New York in a country that is less free than the U.S. But for better or for worse, the real wealth in the country is in CDMX, average incomes notwithstanding.

    The first two are, ironically, reasons that it wouldn't work. People come up from south of the border (yes, that's a thing here too) and from the Mesoamerican states to Monterrey to work at factories, including a lot of car factories that are kind of the quintessential Nuevo Leoneso industry. They're not from there, and usually they don't plan to stay. Also, they're often sending their disposable income home because it's how you support families in the poorest states. Also, I don't think "closer to the US" is a concern at all. My company is based out of Atlanta. When I flew down there direct on Delta from MSP it was near 3 hours. When I fly up there now (also on Delta) it's 3.5. Honestly, an hour on a plane isn't a deal breaker. Seattle to Tampa is way more taxing than, say, Houston to CDMX.

    Oh oh oh, right! I just got the names mixed up there for a second. Karly was cool. I met her once, and she was very nice. Amanda though? Amanda was awful.

    Because you're being reasonable?

    MLB in CDMX

    Nope, but I hear Karly is a bit of a bitch too. ...I'm assuming that's your ex?

    Ha ha ha haGROSS!

    Also, let's get an MLB team in Mexico City! The Mexican League is about AAA caliber or so, but it's really more like AAAA, because while AAA affiliated baseball is about guys on their way up or at least kind of cycling in and out of the bigs, the Mexican Leagues are far more likely to employ guys on their way down. For example, my local team is the Diablos Rojos de Mexico, and I was recently at a game against the Pericos de Puebla ($8.50 front row seats, and $1.50 beers!) and their starting pitcher was none other than former Twin Josh Roenicke. Now, that guy's not going back to the MLB, but it was just a couple years ago he stuck on a major league roster. People here in Mexico know and love baseball. Plus Mexico City is bigger than any city in the U.S. So even if there's little local support, it'll still be much, much more local support than, say, Oakland or Tampa or Milwaukee. If New York could support three teams, Mexico City could support one.

    No!! I have a crazy ex-girlfriend there, and if she might enjoy it, I'm against it! (Sorry dude.)

    Berrios was not uninterested.
  14. 70charger
    Like Lois's lasagna.
  15. 70charger
    PEDANTRY ALERT! "Disinterested" means neutral. We expect, for example, the umpires to be disinterested. "Uninterested" means having a lack of interest. I do not accept that these are becoming interchangeable in the common patois. PEDANTRY OVER!

    It's a rough life, isn't it?
  17. 70charger
    Who is this new left fielder? His defense is pretty good ....oh.
  18. 70charger
    Who doesn't though? To be fair.

    Looks like a beautiful night in Minneapolis. Wow.

    He gets it.

    Adrianza with the baserunning chops. Love it.
  22. 70charger
    Glad to see Vargas score. But this still would have been better.
  23. 70charger
    This is going to sound like I'm making it up in hindsight, but after that terrible first at bat, I thought "there's no way Sano lets him get away with that again. He's mad and he's coming back at him hard next time." I was right.
  24. 70charger
    I didn't mean to overreact. For baseball purposes, maybe that's accurate. Unless the WBC final was an intrasquad game.
  25. 70charger
    Turning the corner.
