Wanh!
Actually, he's got a good point. Interleague play
should match teams with-in divisions just like the NFL does it for the most part. At least the two best teams in the NL East (Mets and Braves) each have the same murderers row schedule against the AL Central.
But still, if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I'm looking forward to interleague play this year. Should be some great match-ups.

It's all messed up with the NL having more teams and not every division in baseball has the same number of teams. I still like the concept of interleague play but the format is a little confusing.

Interleague play fucking sucks. It is unbalanced and unfair particularly when they stack 6 games as a "regional rivalry". WTF, in San Diego our rival is Seattle??? It would make more sense to have a local-socal San Diego v Angels or socal-nocal San Diego - Oakland, but fricking Seattle. And who gets to play KC for 6 games, St Louis, yea that is fair for the rest of the NL Central. Who gets Tampa for 6. Save the interleague play for the World Series. It's has run its course and is just an uninteresting novelty anymore.

Actually, KC always gives St Louis a battle. Without looking up the actual record, my guess is that it's pretty close to even.

Nah, they just need to do away with the silly home and home "rivalry" series which are real rivalries for some teams and artificially created for others. All teams within a division should have essentially the same interleague schedule, the only difference being either home or away.
I like interleague play because it gives a good measurement of the relative strength or weakness of each league. Of course you don't like it Adad, because the shit NL has been taking it up the ass lately by the far superior AL.
