i thought it was fun at first, but now i find it boring.

 

would rather be playing division/league rivals.

Edited July 2, 200619 yr by mr_genius

its fun to a point. I enjoy winning, but beating the crap out of the NL central gets boring. Bring on the Tigers, i want to play them now

I dont like it

The only interleague im excited for is cubs / sox.

 

mayeb do two rivalry weekends per year. or something

I hate how nl has no dh, and al has dh. just messes up the game.

Interleague play is like a cool gadget for Christmas that is in the closet by New Year's.

 

They should cut the number of series in half.

 

It is fun seeing the AL pound the NL, but a couple extra series vs DET, CLE, and MIN would be more exciting IMO.

It gives the Sox more easy wins a year, I have no problem with it.

The only two teams I want to see the Sox play are the Cubs because of the same town and the Brewers because they used to be in the AL.

I think it gives Sox fans an opportunity to see cities that they would not otherwise normally see. I would probably have not went to Cincinnati this year without the Sox playing there.

I'd much rather see the Sox pound the s*** out off crappy teams and visit different NL parks (been to Cincy and San Diego) than see the Sox go on another West Coast trip or that s***hole dome stadium in Tampa.

would it be exciting the the NL Central was good and beating on the sox?

Now that's more like it, but would your opinion be different, if, as in most other years, the AL was getting beaten?

 

I would like it if, except for the Cubs Sox, all the interleague games were played in one stretch during the season.

When Interleague play was created it was so fans could see teams and players they didn't get to see. I think they should now let fans see a style of ball they don't get to see. Have the DH for games in NL parks, and have the pitcher hit for games in AL parks.

I like it, then again I'm in Chicago. In Chicago it's a great thing, overall around MLB? I'm not so sure.

Interleague does a great job of exploiting local rivalries, but they over-do it a bit. Half the number of series would be a good solution.

This should give a definite answer.

 

10th year of interleague draws record attendance

not a bad idea at all!

^like that idea also.

 

but i its not getting tiring, but i think the unbalanced schedule is getting kinda rediculous, but i do like playing the tigers/twins/indians 19 times. but i can do without the royals. what are you going to do.

I think it should be the 2 rivial weekends (Sox/Cubs, Twins/Brew Crew, etc) and then 2 other teams at random

 

make a big production out of it. have 2 lottery machines, 1 with AL teams and 1 with NL teams. Then have a ball drawn from each machine and those 2 teams play each other.

 

So that would be a total of 4 series per year. Enough Interleague games to make it fun, and enough room for more matchups against teams in your own league

Isn't 50% of our schedule currently division games?

 

I always thought that the interleague games took away from other inter division games. It seems like we play the west more than the east this year for example. But I'm probably wrong.

That wouldn't work well with travelling plans. Plus what if somehow two teams "by the luck of the draw" kept playing each other for 5 years? Can we really trust the MLB?

 

These series should get two series every year:

Mets/Yanks

Sox/Cubs

A'/Giants

Angels/Dodgers

 

These series should only get one with HF alternating each season:

Cards/Royals

Brewers/Twins

Reds/Indians

Astros/Rangers

D'Rays/Marlins

O's/Nationals

I think the ridiculous lopsidedness of it this year made it absurd. If it is more competitive, it makes sense. Normally I would love the AL to trash and stomp on the NL, but with the Twins fattening up by taking 16 out of 17 games from the NL, and the Tigers, BoSox and ChiSox winning by similar margins, it made it kind of ridiculous. NL fans ought to be embarrassed. Even the Royals fattened up against your teams.
