Nothing like a run through the minor leagues to bring a sinking ship back into contention. |

Iowa probably would have beat the Sox 2 out of 3. |

If the Sox don't make it(:lol:) hopefully it'll be a rematch. |

Supported....I think interleague play is wonderful. It gives fans the chance to see the great players they otherwise would never see if not for interleague play (for those players playing in the "other" league)even if it's only every few seasons. Plus, it gives fans many other ballparks to go visit and still see their team play there. In many ways (as Mike North would say) it's a beautiful thing! |

Now I am able to see any game at anytime I wish. Interleague Play...lose it. |

I am talking about seeing any team (and exceptional players on it) you want at your home ballpark. Also being able to travel (such as Cubs/Twins June 8-10 this season) to see a team you may never have seen before at THEIR ballpark and still get to see your team play there as well. Appeals to me... |

So is bragging about being 2.5 games out of first in a division containing 1 team over .500. |

Well, it used to be a HUGE  differenceFrank, I think it started swinging the other way around 06-07. If you look at certain free agents and the interleague records, it started sometime around then |

Interleague lost it luster a while ago. It was an interesting experiment at first but now it is just meh. Baseball not playing interleague was one of its fun quirks. |

You can brag about interleague. I will worry about the World Series. |

| Post subject: | Re: Interleague Play |
You're correct to be worried about the world series (delusional is a better word), but who was bragging? An OK team couldn't beat a shitty team. Big deal. |

Considering the team for which I root won last year's World Series, I'm not worried at all.

The American league won interleague play 142-110 for a .563 winning percentage. This is the 9th consecutive year the AL has had the better record in interleague play. |
