Now that all the teams will play all the other teams, let’s stop with tradition entirely and fix the game. I propose radical realignment, and TV put on a Northeast game and a West Game every day and the other divisions can whatever themselves.
NORTHEAST (aka Ruth): Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Blue Jays
SOUTHEAST (aka Ripken): Nationals, Orioles, Braves, Miami, Tampa
WEST (aka Robinson): Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Giants, Mariners
SOUTHWEST (dunno): stay with me here – THE LAS VEGAS ATHLETICS, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Rangers, Astros
CENTRAL (aka Banks): Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Cardinals, Royals
OTHERS (aka Celemente): Tigers, Twins, Guardians, Reds, Pirates
I mean, why wouldn’t you do this?
Took me two minutes and it’s pretty perfect. If I listed a team twice and left someone out you can make fun of me.
You can give the divisions cooler names if you want. Let’s go Old Time Hockey and have stuff like Ruth, Robinson, Aaron, Ripken, Banks, Celemnte etc…
