wildcard proposal
i propose that no team with a losing record can make the mlb playoffs. there is a strong possibility this year that the NL wildcard team will have a losing record. this is unacceptable. the spot should be given to the next team with the best record in the opposing league. lets not let the league suffer because the NL hasn’t been able to get their act together.
home derby: ryan howard
all-star prediction: AL will win by 5 or more runs. score something like 12-5.
i love interleague play
i dont see what people dislike interleague play. quit being such a snob. major league baseball is in such a state of disrepair that i dont think interleague play has/will save it (its almost 10 years old now) but it defintely adds some excitement. its better than making ballparks smaller.
its more than just the the local rivals, its about watching american league pitchers bat, and national league teams use the DH. its about the strategy, the coaches and teams out of their element. AL vs NL. power hitting vs sacrifice flies. i love it all.
extra special this year we get the one year old washington nationals starting a rivalry with the baltimore orioles. the implications are high. the addition of the washington team has had a significant impact on the breadth of orioles fans, attendance and $. if the orioles want to cull the exodus of fans they need to make a stand this weekend and remind the mid-atlantic region why the senators left 35 years ago: washington is not a baseball city.
then you get to see:
they have started calling the orioles vs nationals series the beltway series… nah, i dont like it. change it. BAL-WSH… The BAL-WASH Series! Its sounds sexy, lots of people will flock to get their balls washed.
