This is clearly way outside what we normally discuss, but an exception will be made based on some tortured logic that there was a stadium/sports post (making it sort of a ‘sports’ day) as well being really fucking annoying.
Hampton Roads is now in the running for a MLB franchise because the folks at Smithfiled (the Ham people), put up $1,000 as a deposit for a luxury box at an unfunded stadium. That’s right. A check for about what an ounce of decent pot will in fetch in New York gets you a wire service story touting your status as yet another sucker in the Bud Selig pyramid scheme. And so you are asking two things: 1. Where is hell is Hamptons Roads? and 2. Why exactly is this so annoying? Well, the answers are: 1. Who cares? and 2. That’s not the annoying part.
The annoying part is that one of the points made to legitimate their bid is that they are the largest pseudo-city to not have a major league sports franchise. And, again, a journalist regurgitates this meaningless fact without an consideration for its implicit logic: namely, there will always be a largest city without a sports franchise. It’s fast becoming the equivalent of box office results promotion. You know: Columbus is the largest capital city that is not located on a water feature that doesn’t have a major sports franchise. The intersection of 78/287 is the densest arrangement of malls and gated residential communities that no once can find a decent name for as a town even though it is larger than most state capitals that doesn’t have a major sports franchise. Because, in the future, everyone will have a major sports franchise for fifteen minutes.

But, we digress.
