Brewers moving to NL West?

Yikes:

Selig wrests away control of Dodgers

We'll see if Bud Selig can find a way to benefit his old hometown like he did when he slid the Brew Crew to the National League. Brewers could be much more competitive in the NL West. Just sayin'...

I'm not sure about that. I think with the mediocrity of the Central as of the last 5 years, they are just as competative here as they would be there. No need to move them. or they're division.. Besides, how do you justify putting a team that is in WI in the west? that's like putting the St. Louis Cardinals in the west! It just doesn't make sense....never has.

It was in jest. Hell, I grew up a Cubs and Braves fan with the Braves playing in the NL West and the Cubbies in the NL East going head-to-head with the Mutts. But, as an interesting topic, you're telling me you wouldn't rather play the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers more often than the Cards, Reds, Cubs?

That stuff always goes waves, I believe when the Brewers made the switch the NL was the superior league.

I wish they'd just go back to the AL.

I really loved watching Cliff Lee and Narveson try to hit the ball yesterday. I'd just as soon watch someone clip their toenails.
