I do I think it would eliminate the winning owners and fans of those teams. the owners knew what they were getting into when they bought their teams, they should stop complaining and they should know how to get the most of what they have.

I agree with those who say that Pittsburgh has way too much history to be disguarded. I live in Florida and I can tell you that this is not a baseball state. Tampa Bay would be better served if they looked for a new location. South Jersey would be a great place for a major league franchise. Colorado is a football state just like Florida. The Rockies would never be missed. The Royals compete with the Cardinals and that's a losing situation. Ever since George Brett retired there has been little if any interest in Royals baseball. You might want to add Washington to your list. For the umpteenth time baseball has tried to force the game down the throats of the people in DC and for the umpteenth time it's not working. Very interesting question.

So, I guess any time a team goes through a losing stretch, we just eliminate the team?
That's moronic.
First of all, I think it is unfair to remove ANY team that has ever won the World Series. Royals have won, Pirates have won 5 (and also played in 2 very historic ones...their 1927 team was one of the best ever but is forgotten b/c they played against Murderer's Row, the BEST team ever, and they also played in the first one ever), and the Marlins have won 2. Off the top of my head, I don't know about the Royals, but the Pirates also still have a winning record overall for the franchise (baseball-reference.com), so there's another reason you can't say they are unsuccessful.
How about we elminate the whining owners and fans of the Dodgers, Yankees, Angels, Red Sox, Mets, who won't stop whining about people pointing out the disparity of payrolls in baseball, and how it leads to an unfair playing field?
Moron.

Pirates are too historically significant. Rockies actually have a good young core coming up. Devil Rays are going to eventually be good as well. Royals, that is a tough one. Marlins are the least attended team in MLB.

The Royals and Pirates dominated the 70's and 80's for the most part. So you want to start whacking two historic franchises like that?
Baseball is starting to fix some things with revenue sharing, but there is still a ways to go. Anyone who says 120-200 Mil payrolls compared to 45-60 is fair is kidding themselves. Instead of whacking some of baseballs better historically franchises how about look at more ways to even the competitive playing field.

The early hats for army struggle get dressed unifoems in general could not rise up to the bathing mashine, both. I began doing the next: one million. Fill sink with lukewarm water. two. Add a small quantity of liquid laundry cleaning soap. three. Allow caps to soak for 30-forty five minutes. four. Using a *delicate* brush, scrub the sweatband of the cap, including a little bit cleaning soap to the comb earlier than every cap. Scrub the bottom of the invoice, then the highest in which it is hooked up to the crown of the cap (those are the spots that more often than not have seen sweat stains). five. Rinse every cap separately in lukewarm to bloodless water, making certain to get all of the cleaning soap out. 6. Shape the cap as intently as feasible to both a. its long-established supposed form or b. the way in which you mainly put on it. 7. Using a clip, connect the cap to a hangar and permit it to air dry in a single day, checking periodically to make certain its form. Yes, it may be inconvenient, however feel me that you've got blank caps that final decades this fashion. Good good fortune!

The issue of contraction is dead. Deal with having the mentioned teams around. The players union will have non of contraction because less teams means less jobs for the players. Enough said.
Look at the bright side, at least your team will have guaranteed wins when they play those bottome feeders.

No way. Young players need a place to start and these teams provided that. For example if Jim Thome was still in philly then we would have not ever seen Rya Howard but if Ryan Howard was in the Royals Farm system he would have made his start much sooner

I would so no cuz then the other teams would be bogged down with talent. There is definetly enough talent to field 30 teams. Maybe a cap would help the best to equal out these teams like the other major sports.

Hey some of us actually like the Rockies. Of course if I go to another game in which they lose in 18 innings I will throw them out of the league myself.

I would agree with all except the Rockies. Players without much power need a place where the can hit home runs too!!
