Interleague Play
Today we switch gears from basketball to baseball with the start of interleague beginning tonight. My question is are you a fan of interleague or can you do without it?
I for one am a fan of interleague play. I think some of the matchups are very intriguing and you get see some teams face each other you might never get to see. For example, the Mariners taking on a team like the Phillies or the Marlins are just two matchups that generate some interest for me. With interleague play we also get some rivalries that we may never get to see until the World Series. Like Red Sox vs Phillies is a matchup that i think most people would watch. But interleague isnt all great, it can also be very repetitive and can have its boring moments. Is anyone here interested in the Subway series because im not! Yankees vs Mets is becoming just as annoying as the Yankee Red Sox matchups. I think there is no juice left in these series. I dont want to open Pandora's box when i say this or maybe i do. Does anyone really think that Yankees and Red Sox is the most intense rivalry in sports? I personally think thats ludacris. And i think the Yankee Mets rivalry is even less of a sham! In conclusion, Interleague Play has its pro and cons but im a fan of it for the most part!
