I don't see where I'm wrong. Yes, there are lots of fans who would like to see a greater variety of teams. Heck, I'm one of them. No one is against seeing a wider variety of teams. It just isn't going to happen, due to all the reasons I've already explained. I'm sorry if your ownership has lied and told you differently. Ours has at least been honest about why the schedule is the way it is.
I didn't ever say that the Mariners have never made a long road trip. I simply said that on the whole, teams who do that more, tend to get more visits from different teams, but geography also plays in to it.
By the way. the Royals have played in Idaho, Utah, Las Vegas, Stockton, Long Beach, Allen, Rapid City, K-Zoo, Evansville, Toledo, Cincy, Wheeling, Chicago (Hoffman Estates), Quad City, Dayton, Peoria, Indy, SC, Beaumont, Baton Rouge, Pensacola, Biloxi, Jackson, Columbia, Estero, Lafayette, Atlanta, Norfolk, Augusta, Columbus (GA), Macon, Roanoke, Richmond, Charlotte, Lexington, Atlantic City, Greenville, Greensboro, Florence, Jacksonville, Orlando, Trenton, Johnstown, Elmira, Manchester, and the entire current north division (and maybe one or two I've forgotten). I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but I figured you would appreciate the historical non-sequitor.
