The migrants aren't necessarily the target audience. Monterrey offers more chances for corporate sponsors and luxury box consumers, more disposable income in the native population, modernized urban infrastructure and facilities. Closer ties to the US economy, more people speak English...

 

Much of Mexico City is Third World... and as pointed out by RB, Guadalajara won't do.

Umm.. It was the girl in the song who said it.

Not me and if Chief isn't here...than not him either......

Está bien. ¿Por que no los dos?

 

Although I sort of take exception to the idea that "much of Mexico City is third world." Are there a lot of people in poverty? Yes. It's a city twice the size of New York in a country that is less free than the U.S. But for better or for worse, the real wealth in the country is in CDMX, average incomes notwithstanding.

Verlander is perfect 5IP in.

It would help if there were enough people to buy tickets- 37% of Puerto Ricans are on food stamps and the "official" unemployment rate is 15% (actually much higher) and the Commonwealth is on the brink of bankruptcy. In short, it's an economic basket case.

So is Chicago, and they have TWO teams

Has HAD 2 - 'member the Expos?

Did they play in the Alamo?

One of the greatest R&R songs of all time.

 

From a personal favorite band.

 

 

 

He's wearing an elf costume.

I can't get through a page of the game thread, trying to catch up, without responding to nearly every post.

And Mike, a pay raise depends on how well the business is doing.

Can the elf also be a cobbler?

 

Two down, three to go.
