Erie seems to be on the edge of moving every year but nothing happens. Sayreville Swampdragons never panned out and however many other potential moves.
So here’s to the thought that it is Erie that is going to Ottawa as the great Mandalay sells Erie for the cash to do Wilmington. BMets denials of them going are true.
That’s the other likely scenario. I sense a bit of “great Mandalay” sarcasm here.
