  1. Anyone know this font or something similar? Sorry for the small, pixelated image
  2. Cincinnati (and possibly Louisville and West Virginia) beg to differ.
  3. 1. You have to reach 500 posts before you can change that. 2. Change your avatar, not your profile pic. 3. put img in brackets on the left and /img in brackets on the right. But that image won't work anyways because it's over the allowed size.
  4. I can't get enough of this look for the Bengals:
  5. Anyone on this one? http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=2669
  6. That is a very fair and elaborate overview. Thank you.
  7. Having entire weekends with no host games for an entire league makes about as much sense as Cleveland in the South division and an MLB team in Albuquerque, which is none. Nothing wrong with having Cleveland in the South division. It's all just a matter of where teams best fit relative to the other teams. If the Columbus NHL team can be placed in the Western Conference, a Cleveland baseball team can be placed in a Southern Division. Actually it does matter in baseball. You can get away with a minor one, but not this. Baseball isn't like football where everybody plays on basically the same day once a week. They also have set times. In baseball you play just about everyday with the occasional day off. And you sometimes go from city to city on back to back game days. Here the distance of travel plays a more significant role. All of this plus putting Cleveland in a division away from the other AL Central or even East teams just doesn't make sense. Think about it for a second. Tampa Bay and Boston are currently both in the AL East. No one complains about the alignment of that division, and the distance from Tampa to Boston is actually greater than the distance from Tampa to Cleveland. And it's a lot greater than Charlotte to Cleveland and Baltimore to Cleveland. It's the same deal in the NL East right now with the Marlins and Phillies (or Mets). So, it's really not that big of an issue. And I would like to here your explanation on how an Albuquerque expansion team wouldn't work (considering their AAA team, the Isotopes, currently draw more than some MLB teams do on some days *cough* Florida, Baltimore, Tampa Bay *cough*), and how the interleague weekend deals don't make sense. Thanks for playing.
  8. I've made some revisions and additions to my MLB realignment. Here's a quick explanation: 32 teams, football style divisions. NO WILD CARDS. This way, the Yankees and Red Sox actually have to fight each other for a spot in the playoffs, instead of just being all like "Oh, well if we don't get the division we still get the wild card". Also, the only interleague play is against each teams predesignated rivals (Cubs-White Sox, Yankees-Mets, Rays-Marlins, etc). You play 28 games (14 home, 14 away) against each division opponent, 6 games against each team in the other three divisions of your league, and 6 games agaisnst your interleague rival. This will work so, on the last weekend in May, every NL team will play a Friday-Saturday-Sunday series in the AL park. NL parks will be closed for the weekend. Same thing on the second weekend in June, except NL parks run the show (Yes! A whole weekend with no DH!) Add up the games and it's 162. (84 intradivisional, 72 interdivisional, and 6 interleague). Here are the updated divisions: AL East New York Yankees Boston Red Sox Detroit Tigers Toronto Blue Jays AL South Tampa Bay Rays Charlotte expansion team Baltimore Orioles Cleveland Indians AL North Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins Albuquerque expansion team Chicago White Sox AL West Seattle Mariners Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Texas Rangers Oakland Athletics NL East Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals Pittsburgh Pirates New York Mets NL South Florida Marlins Atlanta Braves Houston Astros Kansas City Royals NL North Chicago Cubs Colorado Rockies St. Louis Cardinals Cincinnati Reds NL West Arizona Diamondbacks San Francisco Giants Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres Oops, forgot the interleague matchups. Here they are: NYY-NYM CHC-CHW KC-ABQ FLA-TB ATL-CLT MIL-STL BAL-WSH BOS-PHI SD-SEA SF-OAK LAA-LAD ARI-DET MIN-COL CLE-CIN TOR-PIT TEX-HOU
  9. Fine. Just don't pick more than 5 SPs, whatever you do. Make sure to fill out all of the positions, and pick a stellar bullpen.

  10. I'm sorry, but no. Most of the powerhouse teams in the MLB lie on the East Coast right now (Spankees, Red Sox, Rays, Phillies) so the Eastern Conference would dominate to the point where it wouldn't even be worth watching the western half of the league anymore.
  11. No problem. You're a Packers fan anyways. ;)

  12. It still says you can't receive any messages. So please check out the link below.

  13. Could you clear your PM inbox? I need to send you something. It's regarding the Baseball All Time Draft going on in the Sports in General section. Here's the link to the post you could reply to if you're interested:

  14. Happy 100th birthday!

  15. So as a former Thrashers fan, are you going to be rooting for Winnipeg now, or are you switching over to Tampa or Carolina?

  16. What's the story behind this? Green Bay and Milwaukee are close by and it is not usual for a football star to throw out a first pitch for the local baseball team, and even take BP when they do so. So he was throwing out the first pitch that game but took BP before the game? Okay.
  17. The URL is probably too long or has symbols that can't be used for some reason. Try uploading the image in your Photobucket or flickr account, or on ImageShack. Did that work? Looks like it.
  18. Bebas Neue looks really similar. Actually, Bebas is a tiny bit closer.
  19. Switched Omaha with San Antonio. I didn't like Portland because they are too close to Seattle for my liking and probably wouldn't do well. Same with SLC, but to Denver instead of Seattle. Norfolk is too obscure, and the NYC area doesn't need 3 teams again.
  20. Omaha? Never gonna happen. If MLB were to expand there are a lot more markets ahead of Omaha. People love baseball there. You know, the College World Series. In Nebraska, it's corn husking, wrestling, and then baseball, you know? The CWS is not 81 MLB games. Omaha does not have the market size to support a major league team. Nor the stadium. The new one is in no way equipped for MLB. This is not a Packers situation. Alright, so what city is equipped for an MLB team? And don't say Las Vegas, because I refuse to put a team there, even if it's only my fantasy realignment.
  21. Omaha? Never gonna happen. If MLB were to expand there are a lot more markets ahead of Omaha. People love baseball there. You know, the College World Series. In Nebraska, it's corn husking, wrestling, and then baseball, you know?
  22. Tiny nitpick: switch the AL with the NL. It feels weird that the Cubs and Cardinals and Giants are in the AL, and the Red Sox and Yankees are in the NL.
  23. My MLB realignment/scenario: After the 2011 season, the MLB decides to expand. They add a team to Charlotte Charlotte and Omaha (to be named later) and go with the football style divisions. Also, they eliminate interleague play except for a weekend and May and a weekend in June where each team will square off against their designated "rivals" (NYY-NYM, CHC-CHW, etc.). Here are the new divisions: AL AL East Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Kansas City Royals Toronto Blue Jays AL South Tampa Bay Rays Charlotte ?????s Baltimore Orioles Cleveland Indians AL North Chicago White Sox Milwaukee Brewers Detroit Tigers Minnesota Twins AL West Texas Rangers Oakland A's Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Seattle Mariners NL NL East Philadelphia Phillies New York Mets Washington Nationals Pittsburgh Pirates NL South Houston Astros Atlanta Braves Florida Marlins Omaha San Antonio ???????s NL North Chicago Cubs St. Louis Cardinals Cincinnati Reds Colorado Rockies NL West San Francisco Giants Arizona Diamondbacks Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres And the interleague matchups: Boston-Philadelphia New York-New York Kansas City-St. Louis Toronto-Pittsburgh Tampa Bay-Florida Charlotte-Atlanta Baltimore-Washington Cleveland-Cincinnati Chicago-Chicago Milwaukee-San Antonio Detroit-Arizona Minnesota-Colorado Texas-Houston Oakland-San Francisco Los Angeles-Los Angeles Seattle-San Diego
