Off Season Shenanigans

While y'all are being distracted by that other thing that happens on Sundays, Bud Selig is busy fucking up baseball again.

They're adding more teams to the playoffs. Uhg! Even I think they last too long.  But that's not the worst of it. They are moving the hapless Houston Astros to the hapless American League West.  This will mean there are an odd number of teams in the NL and the AL.

Selig is hopeful that the wild-card teams can be added for 2012 but indicated that logistical concerns could delay it until ’13, [b]when the 15/15 alignment of leagues will require inter-league play to expand from a two-month segment of the schedule into a season-long piece.[/b]

This is the shit that happens when you let a used car salesman manage.
