A rainy night but that didn't dampen the Roxs offensive. Redman got some redemption and pitched a decent 5 innings for the win. Torrealba and Spilborghs were on fire getting 4 and 5 RBIs, respectively. Good win!
If I Was Commissioner
Okay last year sometime I had the ideal of what it would be like if I could redo the leagues and make it more regional. I think it was when I was in Boston and how baseball is just regarded a bit differently then out here in the West. Partly it has to do with population and just how much baseball is present up there. Then of course there is the East Coast bias about all teams on the East Coast (i.e. how in the heck did Holliday not win the MVP last year?). So in my world I have two leagues....The Eastern League (14 teams) and the Western League (16 teams). So here is my league with the current standings....
The Atlantic and Pacific divisions were fairly easy but the Central and Midwest were a bit tough. I was hoping to put the Roxs in the midwest but the Chicago teams kind of killed that. Guess this is sort of like the old PCL before the Dodgers and Giants moved West. This set up would allow the East to out spend each other. This plan would promote regional rivalries...cut down on travel and should make the world series more interesting as you wouldn't end up teams just on the East coast thus alienating us westerns. Playoff picture is each division winner followed by the next two best records. So 4 teams from each league. I like it so I am going to follow it throughout the season.
