Fun for a gimmick. But some those sightlines are going to be awful.

Can't see it being much worse than baseball in a football stadium. And definitely not as bad as football in baseball stadium, that is horrible.

I've never watched a nascar race, so can't comment on that, but the whole mock up of it looks dumb. I probably won't even tune in as a gimmick. It's so awkwardly placed that the whole idea and integrity of this is in question. We know it's about money and marketing, but the speedway is a 1 out of 100 for places to put a baseball field. So silly. The field of dreams with no fans would be the opposite - give good marketing, terrible gate revenue, but would bring interest because of how grass roots it is. This is a money grab for gate revenue, simple as that.

Need to have a race going on during the game, peak Murica right there.

Mariners had a 10 game league in the middle of June. And now 4 back, dropping like a rock. This is after making all kinds of moves at the deadline too.

They are still a young team with one of the best pitching staffs in baseball but that franchise just loves to suffer.

Can't hit.

Generational quality pitching wasted on 2-0 losses.

Seattle fired their manager today.

“Up next, Bulldog Briscoe and the Gonzo Sports Show. Today's topic: What's wrong with our Seattle Mariners? If you haven't had a chance to voice your opinion on that in the last 18 years, you'll want to today.”

- a Frasier episode from 30 years ago.

Timeless comedy.

I haven't been following baseball much this year, but I saw a player called a fan a "fagg**" and got record jersey sales and a standing ovation for it a couple days later in Boston?

In Boston...yeah that has an audience. Could have used the n*g word and also had a similar effect. There's a reason Mookie Betts said yeah no thanks to the Red Sox. Did not like how some fans treated some visiting players.

So the White Sox are at 31-103 with 28 games left. The can go 8-20 in their last 28 which is a 0.055% increase on their season pace to finish at 39-123. Lowest win total and most losses. I hope they do it.

Now at 31-107. Forgone conclusion at this point they will have the worst season ever.

The Magic number is 16. So win 1 out of every three games and they pull it off.

[GirlySports]

White Sox might not win another game.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Not when they are doing #### like this. Worst team in baseball history is already locked up, now they are gunning for worst sports team ever, regardless of sport.

Down 9-0 in the 5th they're on the verge of a 12 game losing streak. They also have a 14 and 21 gamer to their credit too. Take away those 47 losses....they're still 31-62 and on pace for 54 wins. Hawk Harelson is shaking his head thinking even he couldn't build a team this bad

[Sylvanfan]

Giants sign Chapman 6 more years and 150 million. He plays the game the right way, and is a 4.5 WAR. But he'll be 32 when this deal starts.

[KelVarnsen]

That contract is gonna age so badly
