http://tinyurl.com/7mj9t9y Best thing 1. Yankees and Red Sox every season Your two weekends a year to catch a playoff atmosphere. (AKA your two weekends a year to gouge your northern transplant neighbor with ticket resale.) 2. Road trips to Arlington The only reasonably driveable road city is on the agenda three times a year instead of just once, so ample chances to pack up the car and stop at Six Flags when it's too darn hot to sit on a plastic ballpark seat. 3. Annual jaunts to Toronto Because 125 feet is a grounder to short, but 125 metres is outta here. 4. No more Cubs fans Why do they play that song that goes "the Cubs are gonna win today" when the game is already over? 5. Couldn't get pitchers out anyway The Astros gave up six homers to pitchers last year, more than any other team. Why would you want to stay in the pitchers bat league? Worst thing 1. No more family reunions No visits from the Phillies means we'll have to call our old friends every Sunday night to check in. 2. Losing a switch-hitter Wandy Rodriguez is a career .144 hitter, but there's something pretty cool about a switch-hitting pitcher. 3. New president It will certainly take an adjustment period to get used to having Jackie Autry (widow of Gene Autry) as your league's honorary president instead of Bill Giles. We'll all grow accustomed eventually. 4. Exchange of cities Take your pick, traveling fans: Los Angeles or Anaheim? San Francisco or Oakland? Miami or St. Petersburg? North Side or South Side? That's what we thought. 5. More West Coast 9 p.m. starts You ever hear Brownie and JD at that hour when the FCC loosens up a bit? No Cards. No Cubbies. No pitchers hitting. 投票會通過的原因大概是多了一個肉靶增加勝場數。 -- --
