PITY THE PLIGHT OF THOSE IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST.

I’d be curious to know if Hoyer would consider bringing Hoffman back to fill out the bullpen.
Dave_Gershman
That’s seriously one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a long time. I’d love to see that happen.

I don’t know if anyone would be willing to take a risk on hoffman.

Also, Hoffman may still think he deserves 7 million…
Jose
Hoffman was great with the Padres, but I really hope they don’t bring him back. He was just too painful to watch at the end of his tenure with the Padres and even though his release seemed kind of harsh at the time, it was the right move. It’s time for him to call it a career.

It’s a tough juggle. Too bad the fans don’t support the Rays there. I say bring them to Indianapolis. We love our teams here.

We do love the Rays. Nothing in the market has higher TV ratings. I go to between 15-20 games a year, and I was at ALDS game 1 and if we would of advanced, I would have gone to the alcs. we love our team, its just that everyone is broke and can’t show up at the games.

That hardly seems like a good excuse to me, there are 4 million people in the greater Tampa Bay region or more to the point 2.8 million in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, I’m sure that more than 23000 people can afford to go to a game on any given night. With how exciting that team was this year they should have been slamming 40 000 in there every night. However I do understand that getting to the stadium is extremely difficult as it is 20 miles for downtown Tampa, and driving in Tampa during rush hour can make you want to hang yourself, but I also understand that there is some kind of fix in the works for 2011to ease the bottle neck, let’s see how the fans respond I suppose. Fact is that this team badly needs to move from St. Petersburg and into downtown Tampa to truly support this team.

can’t support football either.
Economy down here is worse than what people read. housing market wiped out the majority of people with discretionary income and the oil spill was simply turning off the oxygen.

Indy can’t support a AAA team. Nice ball park though.

are the blue jays a small market team or big market team ?

Middle market for baseball, but could be big market again if the fans come back to the park like in the early 90’s.
