Dodgers and Giants since Phoenix used to be the home of the Giants' AAA affiliate the Phoenix Giants/Firebirds.
Also took 3 of 4 from the Giants and swept the Indians to start off the season
Final also: Every time the D-backs win, we get 50% Papa John's Pizza; score 5 or more runs gets 3 free tacos from Taco Bell and every home run a free Jumbo Jack at Jack-In-The-Box. Needless to say, we pretty much starved last year

At least goldschmitt, pollack and Tomas are all healthy at the same time now. That should fatten you up a bit.

That's hilarious because Cardinal fans dont even think about KC. I almost sound like a baseball fan there.
Surprisingly, the NFL is making record profits while the MLB is on a steady decline. You'll actually find reputable journalists claiming MLB needs more black people to be popular and hip or the decline will continue.

Are there any remnants left of the dodgers/giants old guard or did the fast food convert everyone?

Because MLB is a higher level of play than Nippon Professional Baseball. The best players in NPB are generally bid and signed away by MLB teams. It's like asking why the NCAA Tournament Champion isn't in the NBA Playoffs.

The old stadium where the AAA Giants used to play (Phoenix Municipal Stadium) still stands. For the longest time was the spring training home of the Oakland A's and is now home to the Arizona State Sun Devils baseball team.
Needless to say, both the Dodgers and Giants have their spring training here, the Giants rank 2nd in attendance behind the Cubs. D-backs and Rockies share a training site so they get a lot of traffic as well.

True, I notice the few Japanes pitchers that are brought over do ok for a while in big leagues. Sadly, once their unorthodox pitching style is figured out they fizzle.

The greatest Mets of all time is HoJo... because he has hotel chains named after him!
He's the first ever 30-30 switch hitter.

Eh...that fella is no longer associated with Chicago...so...
You say that...but talk to any old school Cardinals fan about the '85 Series and see for yourself how much they "don't think about KC".

I'm going to see KC play at Boston in late July, I'm very excited to see Fenway for the first time.
I often go see KC play the White Sox, and in STL. I may go to STL, they have a series with them in mid Aug.

This.
The NFL is sitting on a bubble that will burst sooner than later, and the Latino market is far more important than the black one in terms of future fans. That would bode well for baseball and especially soccer.
Also, if instant replay existed in 1985, Cardinal fans would have nothing but fond memories.

Yeah...the Latino market for MLB has the potential to be huge.
I'd agree that the NFL bubble is about to burst...there's just a "feeling" about it. I know that I haven't enjoyed current games nearly as much as I used to.The officiating is shit, the never ending rule changes are confusing and most importantly, really disrupt the spontaneity/flow of the game. Seriously, how fucking long until they just land up reviewing every play, every time? I mean why not, lets just make 60 min on the clock take 5 real world hours...
But it didn't, and KC won, and STL can eat it.
That's baseball, the god giveth, and taketh away. No team is safe, and all teams have gained from it.

Exactly. Plus parents are pulling their kids out of Pop Warner over safety concerns, which almost has to eventually affect the talent pool.

They may well win 85 games, but LA (especially) and SF (less likely but still probable) will both win 90+. Could very well see both wildcards come from the West, though. They look fantastic so far, the power arm-based bullpen thing is looking nice.
It was the Rockies. Which didn't work too well.
Shohei Otani is amazing. It would be pretty sweet to see an AL team sign him and let him DH on a full-time basis as well as get 30 starts a year.

I finally live in an MLB town, but still think I might lean towards Rays still.
