Justification for the immediate relocation of any sports franchise...

If you can't sell every single ticket to every single playoff game, your city does not deserve to have a franchise.

I'm talking to you, Arizona Diamondbacks...

At last count, 12,000 tickets were still available for Games 1 and 2 at Chase Field.

Past history shows D-back fans will turn out for the games -- it's just that they haven't traditionally rushed out for postseason tickets.

In 2001, the club didn't sell out a postseason game until the World Series.

The Diamondbacks should immediately be moved to Portland, a town that is starved for pro sports.

They should also forfeit their 2001 World Series championship. This is a pathetic statement about an even more pathetic insta-franchise...
