I has a revolutionary baseball idea! |
|
It should be politicized — with the Democratic League and the Republican League. DL clubs can only be in "blue" states, while RL clubs can only be in "red" states.
The new alignment:
Democratic League (16 clubs)
Eastern Division
Baltimore Boston NY Mets Philadelphia Toronto
Central Division
Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Detroit Milwaukee Minnesota Pittsburgh
Western Division
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Los Angeles Dodgers Oakland San Francisco Seattle
Republican League (14 clubs)
Eastern Division
Atlanta Florida Noo Jork Jankees* Tampa Bay Washington
Central Division
Cincinnati Cleveland Houston Kansas City St. Louis
Western Division
Arizona Colorado San Diego** Texas
*The Jankees, as the prototypical Republican club, go in the Republican League.
**Sandy Eggo, being a "red" city in a "blue" state, goes in the Republican League.

10. I propose to make that a States Rights issue |
|
However, those who employ the DFH will not receive NCBLH funding.

12. DL games will average about 2:15 |
|
They'll be broadcast only on PBS, so no commercials.

Next, could you streamline football? Give them weapons or something?

17. But it's in a 'red' state |
|
And it wouldn't do to have 17 clubs in one league and 13 in another. :shrug:

21. Why'd you put Washington in the Red division? |
|
Besides being in population the most liberal voting block in the country..Its gonna be quite bluer come November (Oh and Cleveland really belongs in Blue as well...That city is pretty liberal as well)

22. SOMEBODY has to be assigned to |
|
the rapidly-shrinking Republican league.
They're only going to have a few teams left after November. :hi:

Much like the presidency of George W. Bush?

24. Always hating on the Yankees. |
|
:mad: :P ;) :)
They still belong in the DL. I am taking my anger to Washington D.C., and I will walk with my picket signs until they are appropriately placed in the DL.
I might even get arrested. :P

27. Buck and McCarver are allowed to call RL games ONLY |
|
and NOT the Series! "He hits a pop to right", indeed! It took me a few seconds to see that that "pop" was deep enough to score the winning run!! :argh:

28. I approve of this idea, but... |
|
There should be a separate steroid division to include San Fransisco (former home of Barry Bonds), Oakland (former home of Jose Canseco), and St. Louis (former home of Mark McGuire).

30. And the Yankees (present home of Jason Giambi), |
|
and the Rangers and O's (both Rafael Palmeiro), etc., etc., and pretty soon you have a Steroid League. :eyes:
