you joke, but it's a possibility.

even a balanced schedule would help.

I can't believe that a bigger deal isn't made about how patently unfair an unbalanced shedule is in baseball. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:57 13
- C'mon...we like having 54 games vs 3 of the 6? best teams in baseball - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:59 5

    - We play 18 games in division; 9? outside.... that's schedule imbalance - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:02 3
      - The imbalance i"m talking about could be 90% solved by getting rid of interleague play. - musubi Apr 20, 09:09 2

        it's not like they have to take the train to travel and can really only play teams close to home -- nm - zork Apr 20, 09:14

  - I don't hear enough. I'm still pissed we start and end the season on the road in Boston. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:00 5

      - You're the CHAMPS! You shouldn't have to start on the road like that with that schedule. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:03 2

        Yup. The banner should have been raised on the first day of the season not game seven of the season. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:05
      - It should be simple, if you start the season on the road you end at home. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:03
I wasn't kidding...just made me smile -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:53
I really think the Red Sox and Yankees can't maintain their current paces without a stumble in the next couple of years. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 20, 08:49 12
- The Sox might not, but the Yankees can. Cashman now has control of the ship, and his pockets are *deep*. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:58 1
  - Yeah, they missed the playoffs once and he went out and spent 440mil on the best pitcher and hitter - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:01
- Until you get a system where they can't just buy the top 3 free agents (ala New York last year), they shouldn't ever go more than 1 year stumbles - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:50 8
  - I'm one of the biggest opponents of a salary cap (in theory), but I see it looming on the horizon. - musubi Apr 20, 09:00 4
    - I'm all for it given the nature of the disparities you see in the AL East - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:05 3
      - I'd much rather see a form of the Larry Bird Exemption in baseball though - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:09 2
        
        I like it in theory, but I don't like the way it's been abused in the NBA for sign and trades. Rules need to be implemented to fix that. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:11 1
        
        Yeah, modify as necessary. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:12
  - Yup. Too much money to buy young talent and established stars. - Krusty Apr 20, 08:57
  - Riccardi screwed the Jays for about three years to come. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:56 1
    - Screw that asshat. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:59
