The talk I’ve heard is that Houston would move to the AL. I can deal with that. Expansion though is a horrible idea given that so many small market teams are already struggling.

they should add an american league team in atlanta ga with the nl best braves

Uh, the Braves are not the NL best, as Philly is up four games on them.

And do the math. Unless you have at least one inter-league game most days, you need an even number of teams in each league, hence the current alignment.

If a PA team is to switch leagues, it should be the Pirates. The Phillies are doing well, so why mess with success? Besides, who would want to have to slug it out with he Yanks, Bosox and Rays in the AL East year after year?

On the other hand, it can’t get much worse for the hapless Pirates, so they might do better in the weaker AL Central.

What about returning the Brewers to the AL where they started?

Oh I still pine for the old NFL vs AFL. Those were the days. The wide open AFL vs the stodgy NFL. Of course I was an AFL guy back then.

They have diluted MLB with inter-league play and soon there will be no distinction. BTW I HATE DH rule! Can it. Baseball is a game of 9 men per side on both offense and defense. (End of rant)

Compared to the day of Billy Maz and Clemente the Pirates lineups of the past 18 years would still be AAA players.

I say get rid of the Yankees and the Red Sox. I’m sick of hearing about them. :)

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Over? What kind of sentence structure is that? Anyway, when does college football begin? How many here think the BCS National Championship Game will be between Alabama and Oklahoma?
