Poll Results: Interleague play is just right

Fans voted in my latest poll that baseball’s interleague play is just right. Not one person said it was time to realign.

The two big things I’ve been hearing from players about the divisions are “we play too many games against teams in our division” and “why change a game that’s already great?” I tend to side with the latter, but I could stand for an addition of a wild card to each league. This would create a short series scenario between the league’s two wild cards and would place more importance on winning a division.

Poll Results: Realignment not on fans’ minds

The majority of voters either didn’t know what I meant by realignment or didn’t believe realignment should ever occur in baseball.

For those who don’t know what it means, realignment refers to the rearranging of the divisions in baseball, like moving the Red Sox to the AL West.

Some even think it’s time to return to the old way of doing it with just two leagues and no divisions (top 4 make the playoffs).

I actually wouldn’t mind that way of doing it — scrapping the divisions. It would make up for the situation that baseball has today with three of the best teams in one division but only two of them can possibly make the playoffs.

News broke yesterday that Dave Eiland finally will make his return to the Yankees Tuesday, which leads me to my next poll.
