Interleague Baseball - The Orange Mane

broncosteven · 06-22-2008, 08:08 PM

As much as I hate that the Sox have lost 2 vs Cubs I am really digging Interleague play.

Anyone else?

I friggin' HATE it...why? Because, historically, The Pirates get blown away by the AL whenever they face them since this all started. Before this came around, they were a game away from .500 and looked to have turned the corner, then they lost 2 of 3 to the O's and got slapped around hard by the Pale Hose. They took 2 of 3 from Toronto only to face the Yanks & Rays the rest of the week....so yeah, for purely selfish reasons, I think it sucks.

I wish the Sox banked some of those 37 runs from the Pirate series for the Cub series.

80smith · 06-22-2008, 08:56 PM

Cubs suck. every team goes through slumps and the sox are going through one now.

I think interleague is too drawn out. So you want to see Yankees-Mets, Cubs-White Sox, etc. I get it.

So, lets define a "rival series", six games each year home-and-home. The problem is that there are 16 teams in the NL and 14 in the AL so Seattle would rotate between Colorado, San Diego and Arizona with the other two teams getting an extra six NL games that season.

The rest would be:

Rays-Marlins
Yankees-Mets
Red Sox-Braves
Orioles-Phillies
Blue Jays-Nationals (these two could swap with O's-Phillies periodically)
Indians-Reds
Tigers-Pirates
White Sox-Cubs
Twins-Brewers
Royals-Cardinals
Rangers-Astros
Angels-Dodgers
A's-Giants

This way, interleague doesn't become this huge month-long mess that it is now and you get the best interleague matchups.

The Cards took two of three from BOS and came close to taking the third. So I am a fan.

Not bad considering they got swept by the Royals.

BroncosinDC · 06-23-2008, 07:29 AM

If the NL and AL rules were the same like the NFC and AFC who cares? But in the AL the pitcher doesn't have to hit...the game is very different.

Oof you're a Royals fan too? Sucks to be you. When was the last time they won the WS? Hint: The Cardinals won in 2006. The Cardinals are also much better this year and will be better in the future. Sounds kind of like the Broncos and the Chiefs now that I think about it. Please don't try to talk KC vs. StL smack, you will lose.

MileHighMagic · 06-23-2008, 10:27 AM

Geez! What's with all the Cubs hate? I thoroughly enjoyed the sweep of the South Siders and their loud mouth skipper.

If it hadn't been for Ankiels faux paux the Cards would have swept the BoSox

interleague sucks because of the AL...get rid of the DH and then interleague might be meaningful.

That settles it then....interleague play officially blows

broncosteven · 06-29-2008, 09:29 PM

BUMP

I am really enjoying Interleague now that the 2005 World Champs are about to sweep the 100 year loser cub.

GO SOX!

Boy, what's with all of the anti-cubs, anti Red Sox sentiment here? Where is the good old-fashioned Yankee smack talk?

Funny how Minn never dies. Have to respect them...I thought we would have it easier with Santana (satan) gone...

I would like the tigers to take at least 2 out of 3 from the twins in this series. This would help the white sox.

I would be happy taking 2 out of 3 in Minnesota.
