The National League... Seriously?
AL Domination
- Teams from the American league have won 10 out of the last 15 World Series
- The National League has not won an All-star Game for the last 11 years
- The American League went 154-98 in 2006 Inter-league play
- The American League went 136-116 in 2005 Inter-league play
Bryan,
How can you cheer for the sub-par play of a weaker league? Year after year, the AL dominates the NL. Can you really call a team "panicking" when they have ONLY won 4 out of the last 11 World Series? By no means do I like the Yankees, but you have to respect what they did in the late 1990's. Shouldn't you be panicking because the Mets have only been to the World Series once since 1986, where they proceeded to get trounced by the Yankees 4-1?
I agree with Ben in the fact that you have to look to the Midwest to see true powerhouse baseball, but went a little to far west. Stop by the South Side of Chicago for foot-long hot dogs, deep dish pizza, and some great baseball. In an article by Jim Molony on the MLB website, he goes on to describe the AL Central as the "toughest division in all of baseball" with "four play-off caliber teams". Article
The White Sox revealed a potent offense in 2006, highlighted by the power of Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, and Jim Thome. The highlight of the 2007 team will be the young gun pitching staff that the Sox acquired in the off-season. Dealing aging arms, such as Freddy Garcia, who wore down at the end of last season, will give the Sox the late season pushed that they lacked last season.
I dont know about the fair weather fans up there in Minnesota (baseball is meant to be played outside, not on artificial turf that you have to share with you equally pathetic NFL team), but I am counting down the day till April 2 when the Sox battle the Indians at US Cellular Field. After that we sweep that series, bring in your Twins and we will see what they've got. Personally I would tell them to stick to hockey...Posted by adamcole at February 13, 2007 10:27 PM
