    I love the idea of tandem pitching for the Astros (Astros County). I’ve been pushing it since the postseason.

      Yogi would warm up on deck swinging two bats, walk to the plate with them, take another swing and toss one to the bat boy as he got in the box.

    The marlins, royals trade proposal is just flat out funny. I don’t think the marlins would pay Ian Kennedy all that money left on his contract!

    “Call to the Pen opines that MLB should force Fred Wilpon to sell the Mets.”

    How many people would buy a house in a place where the other neighbors could get together and force you to sell that house if they didn’t think your paint and lawn looked nice enough?

    What would it do to home prices if that happened?

    Unless it is something that will take money out of their own pockets like Donald Sterling (or Marge Schott, for that matter) the owners are not going to force anyone out. Doing so would harm the future sale prices of their own teams.

      Can’t the HOA pretty much do that if they have one?

        It depends on the bylaws in the HOA, and even if one wanted to “force” an owner to sell, it would end up in court long before a realtor’s office.

        MLB cannot force Wilpon to sell, and they have no reason to anymore. The Mets are more financially solvent than they were when they should have been pressured to sell (in the years immediately following the Madoff scandal). Now there is no reason to force him to sell; it’s a private company, and just because fans do not like the way the company is being run means the owner has to sell.

    That was a hell of a read from Astros County. Especially after reading the 4 trade proposals from Miami, that was a joke.
