Wouldn't Philadelphia make more sense for Boston? Although, "sense" and MLB aren't exactly synonymous.....
I thought we had a good rivalry going with the Braves if anyone. Always thought rivalries were made in the playoffs and somehow we always ended up playing them.
You guys need to move on and accept that we are in the AL now. The better league. The better competition. The have's instead of the have not's.
Was thinking more of the Boston Braves history. Seemed like every year there was a series between them.
We need to move on and accept your opinion as truth? The AL is *not* the better league. I prefer baseball to softball, thank you very much. And as far as "better competition" and "have's [sic]" versus "have not's [sic]", those things are cyclical. That will come around to the NL and back to the AL over and over as time moves on. Speaking of moving on and accepting, may I suggest that you move on and accept that apostrophes are never used to create plural nouns or verbs? Apostrophes are for possession and contraction. Only.
they should just end the whole interleague festivites.. no need to make an event out of it anymore.. with 15 teams now in each league there has to be atleast one interleague series at a time.. end the whole making every team play a interleague series at the same time nonsense..
The NL Central is absolutely a better division this season than the AL West. There is no division that's been as historically irrelevant as the AL West. None. 3 of the teams have never won a WS....1 has never been to a WS....since 1989, the AL West has exactly ONE WS title. Historically it's been teams among the very worst in attendance and TV ratings as well. There is absolutely nothing superior about the AL West compared to the NL Central.
Selig screwed the Astros, never has a teams history been as f***ed as the Astros were this year. This along with the CSN debacle has made this the worst Astros season of all time
Maybe... but it would have required an additional move; *that's* what made the Astros such an easy choice - it killed two birds with one move, fixing the NLC and ALW all at once. If it had been the Padres... they still would have had to move an NL Central team to the (NL) West. And I'm guessing... it would have been the 'Stros. They weren't going to touch STL/CHC/MIL; and both the Reds and Pirates are east coast teams. If 15/15 was the ultimate goal, short of massive realignment, the Astros were moving *somewhere*...
I'd rather be in the NL West. If a team had to move, why couldn't it have been Arizona or Colorado? Neither has 50 years of NL history. What rivalry between the Rangers and Astros? The Rangers own Texas, television or otherwise.
Historically speaking, it would be a helluva lot easier to do that vs. the A's, Mariners, Rangers or Angels than it would against the Cardinals.
