I guess he sits on the MLB Competition Committee. He talked like realignment was gonna happen but that the stupid realignment was not going to happen. He guaranteed that. He did mention...you guys might want to sit down for this... the possibility of six five team divisions with the Cubs and White Sox in the same division.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I would actually prefer the Sox be in the same division if we're going to play them. At least the outcome of the games would mean a little bit more than they currently do.

I do not believe two teams in a single city should be in the same league...let alone the same division. I also do not believe it will happen. For one thing, it eliminates the possibility that they could ever meet in the post-season. That's just GREAT for a rivalry.

It's just plain dumb.

Yup. If there were no cross town series and the Sox and Cubs met in the World Series it would make it that much more special. As it is now...its overkill and I get sick of focusing on it throughout the season and in particular in the weeks leading up to it. It's so lame. I have a coworker who during spring training kept bragging about how the Sox are the better team because they lead the Cubs by two games head to head, as if that has any bearing on anything whatsoever.
