    That's how it already was for us with the 3 West Coast teams.  It'll work out roughly the same.  Bring the Dodgers right the fuck on though...

    It won’t be roughly the same. 44% of our games would be in either the Mountain (11%) or Pacific (33%) time zones. With the regular schedule, we play 18% of our games at LAA, Oak and SEA

    Plus, the Astros and Rangers travel would be considerably tougher than any other teams. The only way around that would be by having extended road trips.

    Braves & Pirates are different. Will be cool for the AL Central teams to see Atl more. 

    True. I didn’t notice that. I wonder why they wouldn’t just do AL and NL East,  Central and West

    I actually have no problem with that, even though it’s a one-time thing for this year. Pretty drastic decrease in travel for all the teams.

    Astros and Rangers get screwed, travel-wise.

    I’m a night owl so that doesn’t really bother me
    Would probably end up with close to the same number of games in the Pacific time zone as a 162 game schedule albeit in about half the amount of time

    We play around 28 games on the west coast per year. With this plan , it would be closer to 40. (including AZ. )

  5. Here’s the proposed realignment for this year

    EAST

    New York Yankees and Mets, Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins

    WEST

    Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners

    CENTRAL

    Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers

  6. Here’s the proposed realignment for this season. The Astros and Rangers fans get totally fucked. Lots of late games
     

    EAST

    • New York Yankees and Mets, Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins

    WEST

    • Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners

    CENTRAL

    • Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers

    Read somewhere yesterday that they have a full season of BD and about 1/2 a season of BDM filmed. No news on a second season of BDSY.

    I think the Below deck franchise is on the downslope of its lifespan. Sailing is boring, BD is losing Kate who is the star. BDM is ok. Hannah is somewhat entertaining because she’s a horny train wreck. 

  8. I like Miley Cyrus. It’s impressive that she went from Hannah Montana to what she is now. She’s talented, funny, and unconventional . She just doesn’t give a shit.

    I agree with much of this, but I can see some big time sales coming in retail.  I’ve got a wishlist I’ve been keeping, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.  But I still largely agree with you here.   

    Yep. I read somewhere that retail is going to have Black Friday type deals.

    They could elevate players from their practice squad to get back to 53 for that week?

    That’s essentially changing the roster size to 63 which is a whole different discussion.

    Just make sure you realize this guy is a bear and already bet on it (as noted in the disclosure). So he has both a motivation to write article like that and also is basis to think that way.

    Yep. You can find articles outlining every possible scenario. Up, down, sideways and every variation of each.

    my only thought - it helps keep guys from hitting their service time ?

    It’s more to level the playing field, injury-wise. If Team A has 7 injured players and their opponent, Team B, only has 2, Team A would be at a disadvantage with fewer players available to play.
