We played the Sox who had a 79-83 record last year. The Cards played Minnesota who had an 87-76 record last year.

Seems fair to me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Usually we play the Sox 6 times a year. They are nearly always better than the Royals.

Usually the Cards play the Royals 6 times a year. They are nearly always the worst team in the AL Central.

The other interleague games are different every year -- you can't just pick out the ones that had similar records in order to try and make your illogical point logical.

I feel like I'm going to have to draw a picture soon...

Let me quote from Wikipedia:

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The "rivalry" series that consist of six games a year for some teams leads to further scheduling inequities. For example, the Chicago Cubs play the recently good Chicago White Sox six times a year, while their division rival St. Louis Cardinals play the recently poor Kansas City Royals six times a year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Here's a picture that illustrates an unfair matchup:


Should I compose a song about it that is sung to a Lady Gaga tune?

I think a rational person arguing with a person with an irrational hatred is an unfair matchup.

What does hating the White Sox have to do with this argument?
