Baseball Prospectus Playoff and WS Odds

Wtf!...When did this happen???

Where the fuck was I??

Talked about a year or so ago, when the sale of the team was going down. Needed to balance the leagues out. So MLB threw some major discounts at Crane to buy the team in return for letting them move HOU to the AL. Took out the 6 team NL Central and added to the 4 team AL West.

And I'm thrilled about it. My brother lives in Houston (rangers fan still) and so every year I've flown down there for an interleague game and he's come up here the next series. Now I get more chances to go down and see a game. Don't have to worry about having work to do or some mid-week series.


Plus we get another team to kick around and pad our stats, helping to get a WC out of the West.

Wow!

I am suprised I never heard anything about it. Good move though.

Yeah really reliable. They have the Astros in the AL West??

I do think Tigers are fav to win it all though.

Now we will have inter league play every day of the season......still not sure how I feel about that, but it's here, and has made for some interesting scheduling if you haven't looked up your teams schedule yet.....

LOL!

 

[Driaz]

LOL!

Seriously though, the scheduling is interesting......that's why I've backed off of my initial very anti daily inter-league bitching....

I have two tentative baseball trips planned for this season....Memorial Day my Dbacks play a scheduled day-night doubleheader against the Rangers, then have Tuesday off before flying to Texas to play two games in Arlington.....I'm planning on going to all 4 games of the series.....

And then I'm looking at an early August weekend series in Boston to go to as well.....

I have to say I don't care much about baseball, but if their work is as good as the equivalent of their partners @ football outsiders FTW
