Yeah, that's why the Jays never get ahead....fucking NY and Boston always steal the top spots.

Jays kinda do get a pass, though, because they are in a tough group. Would be nice if at least Boston or NY would get moved to another division.

Haha, Boston and NY won't be going anywhere ever. Jays have looked good from the games I've seen (only saw 3 game series with Texas). Orioles look a bit better atm. It's a long season though. The Red Sox are constant ticking time bomb with that offense and Ellsbury isn't even playing, but their pitching is lolbad. Fuck the Yankees.

Rays are the best team I've seen so far.

It's all Tampa and Texas in the AL, IMO.

Here's something I've never understood. Why does the NL Central have six teams and the AL West have four? The Brewers should be AL Central and the Royals should be AL West. I mean I'm not complaining. I like having only three teams to contend with, but I've always thought this alignment to be dumb.

Astros are moving to the AL next season to even it out. Dunno why it's like that currently.

**MrMister** · 05-08-2012, 12:30 AM

Ah cool. Didn't know that about the Astros. That was another team I was thinking could move, but having two Texas teams in the same league seems odd. I mean the Brewers were once American League, but whatever. As long as the alignment is even and makes sense regionally I'm for it. Bring on Houston.

**Haystacks Calhoun** · 05-08-2012, 12:42 AM

Rather simple as to why it was that way, they wanted an even number of teams in each league before interleague really took off.

JM · 05-08-2012, 01:39 AM

Yeah if one of the teams had moved previously there would be 15 teams in each league which would mean there would always have to be an interleague series going on. This is something they never wanted...until next year...

Right? There's a reason why the Cubs haven't won a title in 110 years. They keep stacking the odds against the Cubbies.

Nah, totally curses. Curses are real yo.
