Very good point, this might be the final year we crack 100 wins if we don't get to play the AL West 80 times per year.
Except the Angels and Rangers seem to act like they are thinking about trying to get their s**t together, so you never know.
We've basically colonized their state, and own half of it. The stereotype of obnoxious rich Texan oil guy is a stereotype for a reason.
Hey. I resemble that remark, I just deposited my $43 check for a years worth of royalties from the Great East Texas Oil Field. I'm RICH!.
Since I like symmetry and hate November baseball, I tweaked the new schedule to do both. League Games 108 games - 54H/54A __Division 48 games 4 3 game series - 2 H/2A each 48 games __Other league games 60 Games - 20 3 game series - 1H/1A Interleague Games - 46 Games __42 Games 14 3 game series - 7H/7A alternating yearly. __Rival - 4 Games 2 2 game series - 1H/1A This results in a 154 game regular season schedule (like AL before 1961 and NL before 1962, but the post season series will all be extended to seven games to balance the marketing value. WC from 3-7, LDS 5-7 games. Revenue sharing will probably be affected. Back date the beginning of the season so the season WILL NOT extend into November under ANY circumstances. This means playoffs have to start around September 20 for 4 7 game playoff series with travel days.
We owned the western side of the state first. It was part of The Republic of Texas. Not Denver, but very close to it.
So we close the season with a NL team for the second year in a row? Thx MLB. They must anticipate those games not meaning much
Not understanding that early series against the Twins. Have to travel on a Wednesday to play @ MN on Thursday...only to have Friday off and then finish the series on the weekend. Why wouldn't they just give them Thursday off to travel instead? Why do they have to complicate it like that?
