I think the schedule makers do a great job having so few differences over the course of 162 games. I'm with PcB on this.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And that's why it's absolute horseshit -- right there.

It's not really. There are 162 games in a season, the Cubs and Cards have the exact same schedule for over 90% of those games. In any professional or collegiate sport, the MLB has the most balanced schedules for same division teams by a long shot.

Exactly.

Arguing against interleague play in general is one thing. But about specifically playing the Sox is fucking dumb.

Playing the same schedule against the same set of teams, regardless of league, is fair. Having to play 6 games against a more competitive team while your direct competition plays 6 games against an inferior team is not.

FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK WHY CAN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS.
