C,mon Lynn, don't you see a scam when you see one? Galbreath is created
one heck of a demand for his team of malcontents by bringing in not one,
but two potential owners from Denver. What's the going price up to now?
50 Million? Soon a local buyer will come in...

Meanwhile, King Pete keeps contradicting himself depending
on who he is talking to.(Yes, we will expand, no we will not, Denver
is on the list, no it is not,..etc., etc., etc...)
Unfortunately, major league baseball promised a team to Denver already
in the early 60's, and they have been dangling the carrot ever since.

Personally, I've grown tired of it. I still have occasional relapses
of "baseball withdrawel" since moving to Ft. Collins from Chicago, 
but it's time to put up or shut up as far as the league is concerned.

P.S. An American League Team? I guess I could boo the Yankees as well
as the next guy.
