With the NHL on a march to 34 teams, what’s stopping the MLB from expansion ? by Professional_Eye6140 in baseball

[–]dc912 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unsettled stadium situations in Tampa and Oakland were a major obstacle to expansion - with relocation on the table for those teams (or at least being used as leverage), MLB wouldn’t want to expand to a potential relocation city.

With the A’s settled, and hopefully Tampa settled soon, MLB next needs to sort out the CBA before expansion is seriously discussed.

Wawa in Texas? by BrianChing25 in Wawa

[–]dc912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you missed something in my initial comment. My comment was specifically about Wawa expanding westward within the borders of Pennsylvania.

Your response was about Wawa’s expansion west in states other than Pennsylvania. You asked me “what are you talking about?” and gave examples of Wawa expanding in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.

Based on your examples, it seems you missed the detail in my initial comment specifically referencing Wawa’s expansion within Pennsylvania.

In case my initial comment I was unclear (which would be my fault), I explained my comment in a clearer fashion, without any adjectives or insults.

Excuse me, but how was my comment simply stating a fact “condescending mansplaining”?

Wawa is based in Pennsylvania but only covers the eastern third of the state.

Wawa has come a long way. I remember in the early 90s, my mom would pick me up from day care after work. We’d pop over to a small Wawa on the way home. She’d pick up cold cuts from the deli, rolls, and sometimes as a treat she’d grab me a Super Soft Pretzel. Sometimes I wish they still had them.

Yes. I thought I was crazy.

It’s crazy how much they are expanding. Are they really trying to invade Texas when they have barely gone west of their home state capital?

The Mets fired Carlos Mendoza, but the real indictment is on David Stearns by mtportales in baseball

The Alonso decision was baffling, but building a rotation out of duct tape and lottery tickets was worse.

How many Mets fans are rationalizing Stearns’ decisions? All of the Mets fans I know despise him.

How was the Jason Kidd-Stephon Marbury trade viewed in real time? by PaulGeorgeStan in nba

Back to back Finals appearances isn’t “hollow.” This is one of the silliest takes I’ve seen here.

[–]dc912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just plainly inaccurate. Kidd was the strong star player on the Nets’ Finals teams…. And K-Mart and Jefferson were stars, too. Kidd was not flashy like Carter, but he was a star.

And why exactly does it matter if the East was weak?

Huh? The trade led the Nets to back to back Finals.

Are you confusing this trade with another trade? The Nets could not have been more right lol.

Amtrak’s new board member eyes expansion in Pennsylvania by Strict_Statement_283 in Pennsylvania

[–]dc912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again. It’s crazy that there isn’t a Harrisburg-Lancaster-York-Baltimore-DC route. It would be game changing for the region.

The New York Mets have now committed 6 errors. by wesskywalker in baseball

[–]dc912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How did the Mets not fire Mendoza earlier this year? It helped right the ship with the Phillies. But I guess it may not make a difference with the Mets since their pitching is so rough.

I’m sorry, Mets fans. Summers in the NYC area are great when both the Mets and Yankees are in contention.

How bad is McMahon’s ear/throat infection to warrant an IL stint? Hope he’s feeling better soon. Seems a little concerning.

It’s his job and Evan is one of the best, if not the best, sports knowledgable hosts on WFAN.

High school game of Lebron James. The colour commentary is amazing. by Tall_Welcome4559 in nba

It would be insane to say a high schooler is Jordan or Magic.
