OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX (5 Viewers)

[BBert]

Holy shit, is this actually going to happen?

Yes, they are actually going to begin talks with the city

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Okay yeah, thats what I thought. It's a huge move to have him on board.

 

[CupWizier]

The only thing I don't like is that the outfield isn't facing the river or Mt Hood

One thing you need to take into account is the trajectory of the sun during the season.

The sun sets in the west. Mt Hood and the Willamette are to the east...so screw the pitchers! I want my view!

 

[hoopsjock]

This is SO going to end like when the Blazers got the #1 draft pick...

The 1974 NBA Draft not the 2007 one!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Will RHB be facing east?

LOL

I am happy to give my tax money to this

In Russell Wilson's twitter feeds some people are bugging him about helping Portland get baseball instead of Seattle getting their NBA team back.

Someone said "Awesome. Now where's our NBA team??"

Someone else responded "In Oklahoma"

That is some funny shit.

 

[Lukee]

I saw Wilson talking about this. Didn't know he's involved.

I weep for their shitty front runner fans.

What I love about Russell Wilson investing in baseball in Portland is that he has more confidence in the sport's viability here than almost every Oregonian has ever shown.

 

[Rozay]

They can say whatever they want. Until they name names, it's just propaganda.

Keep up.

So they just secured prime waterfront property next to the Pearl with no billionaire backer huh lol

Funny guy you are

 

[Rozay]

I may be wrong here, but wasn't Wheeler not into bringing baseball to Portland before? If so, that makes this even MORE realistic.

Yup he wasn’t. But when he found out this is strictly privately funded he got extremely wide eyed. It’s rare for something like this to be privately funded. When mayors hear that they do everything they can to help. Plus imagine the property tax revenue that stadium will generate for the city.

 

[Natebishop3]

I hope this isn't a scam so they can turn around and develop that property.

Get it rezoned, have things fall through and then build apartment buildings.

Eventually the housing market is going to level off and people will stop paying those ridiculous prices for high rise apartments. I'd hate to get stuck that much property when the boom goes bust.

 

[tlongII]

So now they are going to build a hundreds-of-millions dollar park, build all around it, and then just take a hit on the park to build around T2?

I hope you were stretching before you made this proclamation.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're trying to communicate here.

 

[THE HCP]

I CANT HANDLE THIS.... OH MY GOD!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Two of your sisters have said the same exact thing to me!

 

[THE HCP]

That would be awesome to actually have some community use property development on the river outside of golf clubs and untreated sewage that gets dumped there.

If this happens, we are going to opening day together!

 

[Strenuus]

It all makes sense, then.

Alright, so who will be calling the games for us?
Who is our starting pitcher on Opening Day and lastly,
who comes off the bench and do we play a zone?

Well the first question is obvious, Mike Barrett.

What's even funnier is Russ is already involved in a group that is trying to get the Sonics back. Dumb ass fan.

It'll be hilarious watching people on this board try to learn the intricacies of baseball in a couple of months. But then it takes a couple of months to finish a game, right. So ya'll will have plenty of time.

I mean..... I imagine most of the people have watched baseball. I used to watch a lot in the 90s. I just got bored with it.

We'll need someone a bit more lively than the actual game so...
