-- -- this hour to get back to baseball for a second with -- I think unconventional conclusions we have the best.

And the worst cities to be a baseball fan over the course of the next decade long term now I think.

The -- what might surprise you a little bit so let's start off with the best we have the map here and I think if you could pick a city on the map yep there it is.

Houston.

Texas best place to be hope for the next ten years we know the Astros.

Or the worst team in baseball these days of one of the worst but there well positioned as a business for two reasons we've been talking a lot about.

The first once management.

-- general manager -- -- -- holds a degree in engineering also as an MBA has an impressive baseball track record as well used to work for Saint Louis if given the time.

Think he's able to turn the Astros into a sustainable version of the Tampa Bay race think about that because he has with Tampa could only dream up.

He has that lucrative television deal we've been talking so much about.

But of those numbers -- twenty year 3.2 billion dollar contract with Comcast.

But starts -- 2013 does it take a while but the point is if the Astros -- stock on buying what about the seller worst city.

Philadelphia.

The worst place to be.

Over the next ten years now obviously it's the same idea here if you're buying low and Houston.

You're you're you're selling high and Philadelphia five straight division championship things have been great but all that up -- great things have to come to an end.

At some point in the argument is this could and senior.

Then you think and here's the argument you -- -- picture stars like Roy holiday and Cliff Lee.

They're both entering their mid thirties.

And the hitting stars Ryan Howard Chase Utley of already caught.

The injury bug we've seen that here the last couple years but tied down with those big contracts the Phillies may not be able -- Retain a guy like this the star center fielder Shane Victor -- he gets the free agent market next -- -- all those Philly fanatics out there hoping to.

In -- -- get reinforcements from the minor leagues I'm not holding my breath of that one either because the farm system.

Baseball America ranks -- 27.

Out of thirty teams in terms of organizational talents so that's not a good -- -- for the long terms that's our numbers game advice if you're in Philadelphia enjoy it why canned because I don't know it may not it may not last.

We hope you enjoyed -- this has been fund we hope you had fun with us here we try to present the latest numbers on how the based.

While business is being run and -- some cases how we think it should be run.

Would like to keep that conversation going -- -- do it easy enough on Twitter you can follow me there and we'll just keep -- debating these topics and injuries and stats and everything else all use -- hash tag what I tweets to you guys months we'll do the same numbers game use the -- side you know hash tag.

Numbers game.
