Are there other cities that have some kind of theme about their sports teams across leagues or just the Windy Apple?

The Blackhawks don't need to change their name, they just need to change their logo and mascot. Just make the mascot a literal black hawk, problem solved.

hello from the cardinals current #1

quote:

“I had what, a 4.70 ERA last year?” Mikolas said. “Which is funny because that’s just north of a 4.50. And a 4.50 is a quality start every single time. If you had a guy and you said, ‘Hey, this guy is going to make 30 starts and have a 4.50 ERA,’ a lot of people, especially on Twitter, would say that guy stinks. But if I told you that guy was going to (throw) six innings every time out and give up three runs? That’s giving your team a chance to win a lot of ball games.”

Let me check my notes here... Mikolas last year shut down the Royals, Red Sox, White Sox, and Nationals, and got lit up like a movie marquee by the Braves, Astros, Phillies, Blue Jays, and Cubs. His ERA against bad teams was 3.93. His ERA against good teams was 5.30.

This is my shocked face. Who could ever have imagined that a bad pitcher would pitch OK against bad teams and badly against good teams.

If the Texans went with the superior choice of name the Apollos we could have had Astros, Rockets, and Apollos.

e: what's funny though is the Rockets were not even originally from here even though people usually forget that

This is a good time to remember that in the spring of 2012 Mark Walter and co paid $2.15B for the Dodgers, considered a somewhat shocking price at the time. Nearly 3x return in a dozen years is exactly why every one of these teams should be running "in the red" year to year.

To add to that, Astros sold for $615m. ~5.2x return in ~13 years.

I mean yeah, things can always get worse I suppose, but the way I see it Rubenstein is 74, already made his billions, is from Baltimore and very likely won't be trying to extort the city for a new stadium. I don't know the guy's motives of course but I can't believe the guy is doing this just to cheap out and become hated in his hometown
