I would like to see fat ass Prince Fielder play a soccer game and I could homer off ur sorry ass. They need pitch counts cause their pussies. Baseball games are so boring that people get up to get drinks during the game. 7th inning stretch is saying well lets decide if we should stay at this dumb game or go home and do something productive. dude your argument is bogus.

So pitchers walk to the mound... Its the only time that they get to rest, in soccer more than half the team walks while the game is in play. 2.A pitch count is to keep a player from hurting his arm. A pitcher puts more stress on his arm in one inning than a soccer player puts on his body in a whole game. 3.The 7th inning stretch is a very important part of baseball. The fans are so focused on the game that they dont have time to go get a drink. That is why the 7th inning stretch was invented. And to sing "take me out to the ballgame" Does soccer have its own song? 4.Those "fat guys" are some of the most talented men on the planet. I would bet $1000000 ($1 million) that your so called athlete or soccer player couldnt hit a ball half as far as these men could. 5. So what if there old. They are still the best of their kind. Why do sports have to be reserved for young people? 6. What do players get to eat? Sunflower seeds? It's not our fault we can multitask. 7. Your gonna use the all star game as an example? That is not an everyday game. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, In 2004, the average length of a National League game was 2:47:20, compared to 2:46:55 in the American League. There you go! 8. Those statistics are important. It shows how a player ranks among his counterparts. and it shows that he has produced better over his first three years than other ppl are. 9. Your telling me that there isn't anyone out there who sits at at home with their soccer jerzey on and watches a soccer game. The only reason the soccer fans dont keep score is cause there's nothing to write down. O there's a goal. Now I can put my pen and paper down cause nothing else will happen the rest of the game. 10. And mangers wearing uniforms is part of team unity. So what if they look bad, they love the game and are into it. Would you like it better if they walked out to the mound in a shirt and tie? This is bogus I will dispute every one of these reason’s..

If memory serves Portland was closely in the running with Seattle for an MLS franchise. Considering how much tradition and fan support there is in the Pacific Northwest, having a trifecta of Seattle, Vancouver and Portland could create some interesting rivalries.

St. Louis was basically promised one last year when Philadelphia was awarded a team. Vancouver has the Steve Nash star power, a great market, and the league is in love with the Canadians right now Las Vegas may seemingly lack the soccer pedigree, but no one can deny its world appeal and attraction. It does have an excellent youth soccer base and a supportive city/state government. Also one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Right behind in 4th I would probably say Portland . . . a great NASL old school soccer town and a supportive USL-1 fan base. I agree with your assessment of 1, 2, 3.
