KingPK 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Got a little behind the times there. I don't get the Sox road trip this week; they fly all the way out west for TWO games against the Angels, and then trek to Kansas City for the weekend. Who thought THAT up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Does it really matter? Its maybe another hour than usual on an airplane. Big series to start is Chicago-Houston. Those two teams are the big hitters in the Central. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Tomorrow's going to be a big hitter's game between the Cubs and Stros, considering the two starters. Wednesday should be a dandy of a pitcher's showdown, unless Clement decides to start hitting every batter in sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Usually when they go out West, they stop in Oakland, Seattle, or both. And it isn't even a normal three game series, it's just two. They have an off day on Thursday to travel, so that's good, but I just found it odd scheduling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 The scheduling does suck this year. The Phillies get only six games against our cross-state rivals, the Pirates. Three are at home in April, and three in September in Pittsburgh. And that's IT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Staying on course with the schedule sucking, I believe the Cubs and Astros are done playing eachother after mid June or early July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three are at home in April, and three in September in Pittsburgh. And that's IT. Which poses the question (that I've tried to figure out before) why the hell are the Pirates in the Central? When the Brewers moved to the N.L. why didn't the Pirates move to the East? It just makes no sense at all that the Pirates and Phillies aren't in the same division.

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Staying on course with the schedule sucking, I believe the Cubs and Astros are done playing eachother after mid June or early July. Not quite. Cubs @ Astros -- Aug. 20-22 Astros @ Cubs -- Aug. 26-29 But then that's it. Kinda retarded not to have them play at least two games in September. That isn't asking too much, is it? Better yet, 6 different three-game series, and have one during each month of the season. But an equivalent travesty is that Cubs/Cardinals are finished July 20. How stupid is that? Getting rid of the unbalanced schedule (which I kind of like) and/or interleague play (which needs to die) would help a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 ok, then it was the Cubs/Cardinals I meant. I knew the Cubs and one of their primary rivals were done after June or July. Reason being somebody said Mark Prior may not end up facing them at all due to the schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the Brewers moved to the N.L. why didn't the Pirates move to the East? It just makes no sense at all that the Pirates and Phillies aren't in the same division. Its simply that no Eastern team would easily fit within the Central. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 But they wouldn't need to move anyone to the Central. The Central currently has six teams and the East has five. Why can't the East have six and the Central have five? That's why I've always wondered why when the Brewers moved the N.L. that the Pirates weren't then moved to the East?

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Why isn't Houston in the AL West? Then that would allow every division to be equal of five teams... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Because that would give an odd number of teams in each league which would mean an interleague series would have been scheduled for everyday of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 1, 2004 makes sense...but i don't think it's fair the NL Central has to be the one suffering... They should trade the Brewers every season...One year in the AL central...then NL central then AL central again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I love having Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr in my OF(for my Fantasy Line-up that is). I bench Dunn against lefties cause he can't hit them at all so basically my OF has become Dunn, Griffey Jr, Burrell, and Chipper Jones. That's gotta be good for 120homers.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Well what type of pitch did he get hit by? If it was a fastball he's nails, if it was a slow curve that the pitcher lost his grip on...well, that aint so bad. Those batting helmets can take some punishment.

Do you own them? No? Then what right do YOU have to call them "yours," huh? How can you go about calling it yours? Did you build The House That Ruth Built? You didn't?
