Yeah, I know, tear everything up.  Anything around more than 3 years must be thrown away.  Tradition sucks.

Fine with the DH (and tired of watching pitchers hit ineptly).  The automatic intentional walk thing is unnecessary, but whatever.  But leave the leagues alone - they're part of the roots of the game.

if there wasnt interleague play....and if the brewers and astros didnt already change leagues....and if theres no longer even an NL and AL office/president/operation....you might be on to something

i get the tradition aspect but call me a millennial but theres nothing traditional about the phillies going to san diego every year. wouldnt it better if they went to baltimore. games start 3 hours earlier and i could go.

Interleague play doesn't bother me, as it still respects the identity of the leagues.  The Brewers and Astros switching did bother me some, but probably not as much as it would have if a team like the Phils or Cubs had switched over.

I guess in the end, if it happens, it happens.  I'd get over it, and it wouldn't stop me from watching baseball. (Hell, if the 1994 strike didn't do that, nothing will.  Damn addiction to the sport.)  Much worse and important things have happened this week than the realignment of sports leagues.

Can't say I'd like it, though.

I hate interleague play

[Rome]

If they get rid of the NL/AL what happens to the DH?

[ice grillin you]

everyone plays with it

[Rome]

Then I'm all IN. 

[MDS]

the east/west split would go something like this

east
tor-bos-nyy-nym-phi
was-bal-atl-tb-mia
pit-cin-cle-det-mil

west
chi-chi-min-stl-kc
sea-col-arz-hou-tex
oak-sf-sd-la-ana

personally id rather the phillies play ny and bos than atl and mia but thats just be as an east coast elitist not being interested in dumb southern awful sports cities

[Rome]

I would think Pittsburgh would be in the same division as Philly and Toronto would be in the Norris. 

[MDS]

i mean thats entirely possible...my thinking is if they did it theyd try to keep as many "rivalries" together as they could, therefore keeping pit/cin/mil together and tor/nyy/bos together.
