After the Indians had been eliminated, I had hoped that the Brewers could pull it off for Milwaukee. I think they would have been a much bigger challenge to the Red Sox.

Who's next Tito Francona or is his current talent window closing?

Don't know, but on those bottom dwelling cities, Vancouver used to have two teams.....NBA/NHL, but now only have one. San Diego use to have NFL/NBA/MLB...but now only has MLB. Buffalo had NFL/NHL...and used to have NBA. So many of these cities are just "one horse towns".
Las Vegas will only be a one horse town for a short bit....only until the Raiders move there.
