Alright, now that someone has made an argument other than "it sucks because it's stupid" I see that floating realignment is probably lame. Thanks, Desipio!

Is there any way we could kidnap Bud Selig, take his face....off, roll him up in a carpet, throw him off a bridge, put his face on TJ, and put TJ in charge of MLB?

Another reason it's stupid. What happens to an AL DH if the team moves to the NL? They just release him?

I say: shoot him.

Though it's already turning into a Mastodon Friday, I urge you, fine readers of this thread, to check out Shrinebuilder.

Jon, I will sell you in short order - Scott Kelly is in this band.

Sold.

Dale Crover?

Sweet.

That is one hell of a lineup.

I've got a friend who doesn't think she's attractive at all. Just a pale redhead with big boobs. Said he could find tons of girls hotter than her just walking down the street.

I don't even...

I'm with him on the middle part.

I'm not going to argue. Everyone has different tastes and some people don't like redheads. That's fine.

His favorite actress, however, is Drew Barrymore.

Why didn't you just tell he was gay at the beginning of the story?

That was the twist ending, CT. Haven't you watched that one M. Night Schylamanannan movie?

Not sure, but that would have made a much better plot than the one they actually used for Face/Off.

My plan:

1) Make these fuckers travel by train.
2) Move LA to play next door to the Nets new arena and force the Giants to play wherever Bloomberg was going to put the new Jets/Olympic Stadium that never happened.
3) Put the Mets out of their misery.
4) Force the Twins back to Washington and the Orioles back to St. Louis. Send the Braves back to Boston.
5) Put the A's back in Philly.
5) Contract Arizona, Tampa, Colorado, Florida, Toronto, Seattle, Milwaukee, Kansas City, the Nats, Padres, Mets, Astros, Angels and Rangers.
6) Go with a 154 game schedule with this alignment:

National
Brooklyn
New York
Boston
Phila.
Pittsburgh
Cinicinnati
Chicago
St. Louis

American
Boston
New York
Washington
Cleveland
Detroit
Chicago
St. Louis
Philadelphia

This is novel. It might just work.

I like it!

Finally, you found the place where I'm equally conservative.

Just need to get an NL team back into the AL.  Milwaukee, I'm looking at you.

Regardless of the plan, I like that idea.

Books like The Scarlet Letter and Ethan Frome exist for horny schoolteachers to underline the fuck scenes.
I never read The Scarlet Letter

Doesn't hockeynight have forums that you can "contribute" to?

Nathaniel Hawthorne sucks.

I never had to read The Scarlet Letter, but do recall hating Hawthorne's short story "The Minister's Black Veil" in its place.

It was "Bartleby, the Scrivener" without all the action.

Wow. I managed to have to hate ALL THREE of those in 10th Grade.

I also hated Catcher in the Rye on my own time that year.

I would have said something really stupid like 'Guess He Won't Be Stopping By Ron Burgundy's House On Occasion Anymore' because that's really my only Merlin Olsen experience. 

On the other hand, it would have pissed off Kermit, so there's that.

What doesn't?

This time last year, I could have said "Milton Bradley."

Man, how things change.

Ron Cedeno Freddie Bynum was no Freddie Bynum. Jose Macias

Thing was, as bad as Jose Macias was, he actually had a major league career before he came to the Cubs. It's kind of special knowing that Cedeno and even Bynum got their first taste of undeserved major league service as Cubs.

Although there was a moment in time where I thought RonCe might actually have been turning into a decent hitter. I can't say the same for Bynum.

Holy hell, Bynum was so bad. The only thing worse than his playing was Dusty's attempt to give him the nickname "Boom-Boom."

Especially when "Piano Keys" made so much more sense.

It was a team effort, but I want everyone to know that *I* was the one who coined "piano keys".  ME!

GARBANZO BEANS!

I was partial to Freddie "Theory of Relativity of" Bynum "& Bailey's Garbanzo Circus"

There's probably some sort of Highway to Heaven ref that could be made, too.
