This will sound nuts but that he was shot for fucking someone's wife was literally the first thing that occurred to me when this story broke last night...and someone walked up to him in a restaurant and shot him from behind.

[funkster]

Wow.

Ken Giles to the IL, we were linked to him before the Kimbrel deal.

[funkster]

He still sucks

The city of Tampa isn't too happy about that apparently. I think it's pretty cool.

[funkster]

I don't see any way in hell it happens.  My guess is Tampa ponies up or they just end up moving.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Why the hell would any city want to share a team? The whole reason sports teams exist as they do--including getting major tax breaks and all the other benefits that come with a diehard allegiance--is this belief that this is OUR team. There's no way this could work.

[funkster]

Yeah, I don't think so either.
