I'm not one of the those NYers that loves the Mets and hates the Yankees... but no, I'm full on Mets.

I still don't understand why they can't just move Houston to the NL West, then move another NL West team over to the AL West and even out every division. Or stupid me trying to write words a lot -- just move Houston over to the AL West bypassing the middleman.

Also:

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Disneyland California Adventure Theme Park Company California, USA

Interleague play requires an even number of teams in the two leagues or else the schedule and off-days get all fucked up. The better solution would be to add two more teams and split both leagues into four divisions, like in the NFL.
