So what you're saying is the NL is better than the AL.

I agree.

Thanks for the update, America. I guess THE INQUISITOR lost his calculator.

When he finds it, we'll let Frank borrow it. Let us know if he needs a mentor.

Frank with a calculator is like a chimp with a keyboard.

Don't worry NL fanboys. Just pretend like you were right!

Cincinnati is 0-7 versus the AL.

Nats, Mets, Phillies, Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, and Diamondbacks are all over .500 against the AL.

Out of AL playoff contenders, only Boston and Seattle are over .500 versus the NL.

Lastly, the "bad teams" in the NL have more GP against the AL than the "good teams."

I'd believe any handicapper or analyst looking at all data currently available would predict the NL to finish with the better interleague record.

Then go and find a handicapper to take your money.

You're a funny one to be discussing wagers. You owe someone a clean grand.

You must have read a different thread.

How does that compare to Cubs' fans bragging about attendance?

Cubs attendance cheerleading is annoying. A doofus fanbase having not much to cheer for.

But AL cheerleading is fundamentally wrong since the DH is an abomination. A goofball creation allowing players to stay one-dimensional.

This is sums it up really well. As a Cubs fan, some of the bandwagon "fans" are pretty obnoxious. That said, I don't fault the Cubs organization for taking their money hand over fist. Those that pay $100 to play with their phones for 3 hours and then get stupid drunk a block away tend to break attendance records, but that's nothing to brag about. I also don't think Cubs fans should be apologetic about it. $ from these big-titted and bro-fans improves their team. But I also think it's pretty silly to talk about which league is better when the best teams in each league often have nothing to do with what league they are in. They would usually win regardless of division or league. Look at the NL Central last year. Top 3 teams in all of MLB. I don't think it matters what league they would have been in. They beat each other up and still averaged almost 100 wins between them.

League comparison is a fun dick measuring conversational piece, but ultimately doesn't mean much.

Like 1/3 of the Cubs wins are against Cincinnati, if youre really looking for a stock to short.

You've been a truck driver, bus driver and an Uber driver.

I'm guessing you've never put any weight into math.

IMU gettin' personal when he's caught in in a knot over his Cubbies.

America · **Posted:** Tue May 24, 2016 7:13 pm

Look, I've been saying wins against Cincinnati dont really count and I'm glad you finally agree w me.

Thanks for the update. It appears my guy THE INQUISITOR has lost interest in keeping track of these vital numbers.

This is a lot of shifting

America · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2016 6:54 pm

with the White Sox win today the AL is up 46-41, the site I use to compile this didn't count the clean sweep the AL put on the NL yesterday.

AL- 47 wins
NL- 42 wins

Cubs are going to throw a wrench in your formula.

It's really not much of a formula I'm just adding numbers together.

Elmhurst Steve would add everything wrong and somehow determine that the NL has 75 wins already.
