What are everyone's thoughts on the changing landscape in MLB?
I hate it. My main reason for hating it is over the extended amount of interleague play that it appears will be happening as a result of it. I'm ready for interleague play to go away.

Re: Realignment
I am ok with the realignment generally, although I agree that having interleague games all the time stinks.
Having Houston being able to lose to the White Sox more often will be nice 8)

Re: Realignment
Stupid. Let's move the Brewers to the NL and then 15 years later move the Astros to the AL? Dumb Dumb Dumb.

Re: Realignment
I would welcome the Astros to the AL West (?). promotes a big Texas rivalry.
As far as inter-league, well, like the DH, I'm afraid that's here to stay. But I have wondered about the fairness of that, since those games factor into the standings. How do we know all teams are playing even strength teams in inter-league play? Ive never looked into much, because frankly I've never liked inter-league play. When it was around for several years, I kinda enjoyed the Texas-Houston rivalry games, but if they put the Astros in the AL, then we could do away with that inter-league series, and all others, as far as I am concerned. At least in the Rangers-Cards World Series, it felt like a more traditional WS, since the teams had rarely played against each other.

Re: Realignment
I don't mind the Astros moving but I've always hated interleague play. Id rather they eliminate that completely not increase it.
Re: Realignment
Astros in the AL west, hate it...for the angels, A's and Seattle so much more travel....it doesnt make sence why they did it...
